You should contact the company, this gives them the chance to decide what to do. Possibly they will send you a free post returns sticker to return them ( though most enclose one with the item any way ). If your VERY lucky they may say keep them.0

A lot of people on this forum like to act like they are saints....
If more people acted like saints, there would be a lot less trouble in the world, and yet somehow I feel you are criticising. If you mean 'pretend they are saints' - that is different.
I was brought up with a conscience - if I do the wrong thing I feel guilty, so generally I don't. Because I'm human, and not saintly, I occasionally get it wrong, and my conscience troubles me for quite a while.0 -
No you cannot legally keep them.
There have been laws passed on this!
You have to notify the company that you have received the shoes and ask for them to arrange collection or what ever the companies procedure for returning goods is - if you phone, make a note of the date and time you rang, the telephone number you used and the name of the person you spoke to. If sending email - keep it so you have proof.
If the company don't contact you within a reasonable amount of time - 6 months, you can legally keep the goods.
So don't break the law - contact the company involved.0 -
You actually need to ask?
Well, if you don't want to be considered a thief - YES arrange to send them back!0
