How to Cancel FabKids Membership in 2026

FabKids charges $29.95/month as a "member credit" if you don't skip by the 5th of each month. Many parents don't realize they signed up for a VIP membership when buying discounted kids' shoes. You must call to cancel — there's no online option.

🔴 Dark Pattern Alert: FabKids is owned by TechStyle Fashion Group (same parent as Savage X Fenty, JustFab, ShoeDazzle). All use the same model: cheap first purchase hooks you into a VIP membership that charges $29.95-49.95/month unless you manually skip every single month.

The Skip-or-Pay Trap

How FabKids works:

On the 1st of each month, FabKids shows you new "boutique" selections
You have until the 5th to skip (just 5 days!)
If you don't skip, $29.95 is charged as a "member credit"
Credits can only be used at FabKids — not refundable as cash
Many parents forget to skip and accumulate hundreds in credits

Get a Refund

Recent charges (30 days): Call and request a refund — they often grant 1-2 months
Multiple months: Be persistent. Ask for a supervisor. Mention "FTC complaint" if needed
Credit card dispute: File a chargeback for charges you didn't authorize
BBB complaint: TechStyle has a pattern of resolving BBB complaints with refunds

Cheaper Kids' Shoes

Target Cat & Jack ($10-25) — durable kids' shoes, 1-year guarantee
Walmart (Wonder Nation, $8-20) — budget kids' shoes
Amazon kids' shoes ($15-30) — wide selection, no membership needed
Nike/Adidas sales — end-of-season clearance often matches FabKids pricing
