When I’m shopping for sneakers, I’m the type of person who prefers to get them in person over buying them online. I need to be able to try them on, do a little runway strut in them, and then make my decision. But who has the time to go to a store in person to do all of that? I certainly don’t. Thankfully, Amazon has a program that lets you shop now and pay later as long as you’re a Prime member.

Prime Try Before You Buy can only be described as a godsend for shoppers who are either indecisive AF or wary of fit. While not every pair of sneakers is eligible for this program, the ones that are will definitely catch your eye. New Balance, Reebok, Adidas, and so many other trendy shoe brands are included. We’ve put together this list of sneakers from Amazon that you can try before you buy, but first, let’s get into how this Prime-exclusive program works.

What Is Prime Try Before You Buy?

Prime Try Before You Buy is a program that allows you to order up to six eligible items, only pay for what you want to keep, and return everything else for free. To take advantage of this feature, be sure to sign up for a Prime membership if you haven’t already.

How Does Prime Try Before You Buy Work?

1. Add eligible items to your cart. You’ll know if it qualifies if you see a Prime Try Before You Buy icon on the product page; make sure to toggle the icon.
2. Place your Prime Try Before You Buy order. Note that Prime Try Before You Buy has a different checkout than regular, non-eligible items. 
3. Your items should arrive in four to six business days. The seven-day trial period starts when the last item in your order is delivered. 
4. Try on your items. 
5. Check out and tell Amazon which styles you would like to keep. Go to the order in your Amazon account and mark what you’re keeping and what you’re returning. 
6. Once your seven-day trial period ends, Amazon will charge you for the full value of your order if you don’t check out by 11:59 p.m. local time. 
7. Return the items you don’t want to keep. Amazon suggests returning them within seven days upon the end of the seven-day trial period. 
8. Look out for your return confirmation. Amazon will email you to let you know when all of your returned items have been received. You can track the shipping progress of your returns in the Orders tab of your account.
