[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'm going to go out on limb here and say that MB gave you a pair of wedges that have been sitting in her closet unworn for some time.[/b] She thought they were an upgrade from your sandals, and free to her, so, yay for her.

I think you're going to have to have this awkward conversation: "MB, thank you so much for the wedges. It was a lovely thought to give me the designer shoes to replace my old ones. The problem is that I still need to replace my sandals, because I need shoes I can wear to work everyday. This part is awkward for me, but I have to tell you that while they weren't expensive, they were for me. I really need the money to replace the sandals I had. Here are the wedges; I hope you can return them." And then hand her back the bag.[/quote]

I totally agree, this was my first thought. This is a crappy move on the MBs part.

I have a dog so I am sympathetic to the situation but the onus is on the dog owner to make up for the accident, and giving someone a totally impractical gift (regardless of the price) is far from sufficient. OP should not have to go out of her way to sell OR return/exchange the unwanted item nor should she have to cut her losses on a $60 pair of shoes.

OP, I'd be having that uncomfortable conversation. Hand the sandals back with a "Thank you for your generosity" line and explain that these sandals were your go-to everyday shoes and need to be replaced. If it creates bad blood then so be it. Any sane person would understand your situation and feel like an ass for handing you a pair of Michael Kors wedges as a replacement for the shoes that were destroyed. [/quote]
