Last Updated: 11/19/2025

This Warranty & Defect Policy applies to all wrestling shoes sold under Funky Flickr Boyz, Nidrogen, and Wrestle Boutique (“we,” “our,” “us”). This policy covers manufacturer defects only and is separate from our Returns & Exchanges Policy.

1. Full-Season Guarantee (120 Days)

All wrestling shoes purchased from funkyflickrboyzgear.com are covered by a Full-Season Guarantee, defined as:

120 consecutive days from the date the product is delivered (according to carrier tracking).

This period reflects the average length of a U.S. high school wrestling season.

2. What Is Covered Under the Full-Season Guarantee

Our warranty covers true manufacturing defects, including:

• Outsole separation due solely to adhesive or bonding failure

• Seam or stitching failure caused by defective thread

• Lace loop or eyelet tearing out under normal use

• Tongue detaching at the base

• Shoes arriving with structural damage or deformation due to manufacturing

• Incorrect item received

Defects must occur within the 120-day guarantee window.

3. What Is NOT Covered

Warranty coverage does not apply to:

Normal Wear & Tear

• Toe drag holes

• Mat burn, abrasions, or friction damage

• Outsole wear from regular use

• Creasing, stretching, or broken-in materials

• Loose or excess stitching that does not affect structural integrity

Damage from Misuse or Improper Care

• Cleaning damage (washing machines, heat, chemicals, etc.)

• Outdoor or concrete use

• Pet damage

• Altering or modifying the product

Non-defect Issues

If approved, you will receive a replacement pair OR a store credit for the full order amount.
We cover all shipping costs for approved out-of-box defects.

5. Warranty Claims for Defects During the Season

If a defect occurs during normal use within the 120-day guarantee period:
