Maybe not. But you can bet your bottom dollar that they know more than you or I....

Shops have policies - such as not taking back worn shoes.

How do they know that the OP didn't go hiking in the Peak District in them before returning them, effectively getting free hire of a pair of shoes? Truth is they don't.

It's all because they've had years of people trying it on with them and now shoe shops have had to clamp down and say if the shoes have been worn outside they can't be returned.

I don't know if anyone else does it but I always wear my shoes inside for a while before wearing them outside - when you're spending £60-£100 on shoes you can't afford to take that kind of risk!

i would never spend £60-£100 on a pair of shoes, and i never wear them in the house, i wear them as normal

OP - talking of cobblers.................if you can find one (not the Mr Minute High Street type) but an old fashioned cobbler who knows all about leather he just might be able to do something with your shoe. Worth asking and better than just chucking them away.
