Shipping shoes using original box

[brandall10]

I need to send a pair of shoes back to Pediwear. They came in only the shoe box with a thick paper of some sort wrapped around it. I'm trying to source a similar covering for the box before sending it back, but I'm not seeing anything like this looking at USPS online or doing a general google search for packing supplies. Any ideas?

Every time I ship shoes I use the original box wrapped in Tyvek [which is waterproof]. I'll either get a couple of FedEx paks or the USPS ones without the printing inside, turn them inside-out and wrap the box making sure the shoes are secure inside and don't move around.

Never had a complaint.

USPS has a free priority mail shoe box. Most third-party shoe boxes fit inside of it.

Make sure you get tracking and insurance. If something happens on the way you will be out shoes and cost of the shoes. I recently sent a pair of Selbornes back due to sizing issues. I used a larger box and wrapped the original box in bubble wrap. Waterproofing the box is not a bad idea. Shipping was $53!!!!!!!!
