So yesterday I went and dropped a whole sixty bucks on a new pair of sneakers for a friend of mines birthday. He wears size 9 1/2. The box I got said 9 1/2. I opened the box to make sure both were there and they were both present and accounted for. My mistake was taking the box at face value because it turns out the shoes were a size 9. So I buy them, give them to my friend, and he wears them to work today. At the end of his day his feet were hurting from the shoes so he checks the shoes themselves and finds out they're the wrong size. So I get my receipt and the shoes, the box, and even the fu**ing bag they came in and go back to the mall which is about a 12 mile trip for me one way. I tell them I need to exchange them, they pull out the shoe and because it has been "worn" with a very light layer of dust that you could wipe off with an alcohol rag they can't resell them. Now I could understand if they were caked in mud or had holes tore in them or something but they still look brand new except for a little dirt on the bottom. So now unless I can find a person that wears a size 9 and just happens to need or want a new pair of shoes I'm out sixty dollars. Anyway just out of curiosity and a need to vent I decided to come here and ask you good people your opinion. Who was in the right? Me or the evil shoe store?
