But when Macy's sent her one shoe, we were surprised.
The box was packaged properly and mailed as stated, arrived on time, and had just one shoe in it. It was a formal shoe, although not the one pictured here. I'm sure her one foot would have been grand in it.

What happened, that's what I want to know.
I suspect thievery, either a warehouse employee who thought that one shoe from two different identical boxes would not be missed until she could cover her well-shod tracks, or customers who teamed up to order the same shoes and each returned one shoe so they could have a pair between them. It required knowing that no one would inspect the goods before the shoes were restocked. Or maybe there were other possibilities of which I know nothing; I've never worked in retail or warehousing. Maybe it was just an accident and there's a shoe lying under a warehouse stack somewhere.
I hope the thieves, if there were thieves, repented of their actions, tarnishing their consciences for the sake of quality footwear. What would St. Hubbins say? "What does it profit a gal to gain her soles but lose her soul"?
In the meantime, we got an extra left shoe. If it looked like the one above, I could hang it on the Christmas tree, but it's black. Halloween?

So what if it's black. Y'never heard of spray paint?
Hmm... good point, Dan!
