Left over shoes are all right.

Looks like an ass-kicking contest is about to jump off.

Shoe stores will sell two of the same side shoe
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
There’s more than one left/right exchange organization for people with this issue!

Honestly, instead of saving money id probably end up with just a lot more shoes. I would keep buying what I like and send the other guy the other shoe and maybe he would do the same too

My dad searched his whole adult life for his "sole mate" (the phrase he used as well), but never found a match. He died before the Internet would have made such things more trivial.

Store i work in often save single shoes from when people "accidentaly" take the wrong sizes with them home

I bought new work boots, same style and brand I have bought before so I only tried on one shoe, next morning went to wear to work and had 2 left shoes! Knot funny at the moment, butt laughed later.

You mean when people with different-sized feet take one shoe from one pair, ask to try on a different size, then take their other shoe from the different-sized pair?
swedeonamoose
Ye, i have a box at work with like 20 pairs of odd pairs, usually we sell them off at the end of the month on discount or just send them to a helpcenter.

Damn. I used to just buy 2 pairs of climbing shoes instead of trying to pull some shit like that. Am I stupid, or just honest to a fault? Those Sportivas cost like $110/pair. But they needed to fit perfectly, or I'd have risked falling while on lead. So, cheap insurance basically.
Funny part is, my feet no longer have that problem. It was part orthopedic (I favored 1 leg, causing it to be bigger/ stronger, which I corrected through PT) & part of it was vascular (swelling), corrected surgically.

My brother does it, usually with permission. The store can do a return of the uneven pair (here at least). Works best at quality shoe stores with quality shoes.

The issue is that people who does that screw over other people as much as the store, someone takes the last 43left and 44right and then a guy comes in and needs a pair of 44s and welp, sorry no can do.
spontaneous9
I'm well aware.
I have the mismatched, unused shoes still hiding in the back of the closet somewhere. At this point I could just wear the larger 44s with fat socks, but the left shoe is worn down to a nub while the right is unused, and it's the opposite with the 43s which I'd wear with the thinnest socks possible although one's new & the other's trashed. So I guess I just wear one fat sock & one thin sock to compensate now. New shoe for each foot. Hmm.
