Step Swap

Swapping shoes in Hungary

Hungary is fully served by Step Swap through the Packeta network. If your left and right feet take different sizes, you can match with a SoleMate in Budapest, Debrecen or any Hungarian town and ship the swap to a pickup point or locker near you. Joining and browsing are free; you pay only when a swap goes ahead.

How a swap is delivered in Hungary

Domestic Hungarian swaps travel on Packeta. You choose a pickup point or a Z-BOX self-service locker, and your SoleMate sends the matching shoe there while you drop yours at the same kind of point. Coverage is dense in Budapest and good across regional cities and towns.

Home delivery is available where you prefer a parcel to the door. Each swapper pays only for their inbound parcel, with the exact total shown in chat before confirming.

Cross-border swaps from Hungary

Hungarian swappers are matched across the serviceable area, so a SoleMate might be in Slovakia, Romania, Austria, Czechia, Poland or Germany. Slovakia and Romania are natural neighbours given the shared borders.

Cross-border routes cost more than a domestic Hungarian swap because the parcel travels further, but you still pay only for the shoe coming to you. Route prices are on the delivery fees page.

Shoe sizes and matching in Hungary

Hungary uses EU shoe sizing, so matching with the rest of the platform is direct. Step Swap pairs you with someone whose sizes mirror yours within about a one EU size tolerance.

Enter your left and right EU sizes once, and the search shows how many SoleMates already match before you sign in.

What it costs

There is no membership fee. Creating a profile, viewing matches and messaging are free, and you pay only when a swap completes and you need labels: carrier shipping plus a small flat shop fee.

Domestic Hungarian swaps are among the lower-priced routes; cross-border swaps scale with distance. The delivery fees page lists exact amounts.

Payments run through Stripe as a hold rather than an instant charge. If a swap is not completed within its window, the hold is released, so you are never charged for a swap that did not happen, whether your SoleMate was in Budapest or across a border.
