Newborn, size 0-6m. Fancy white christening shoes. Sorry, had to check. Asking $10, they were $35 new last week. Turned on my DMs.

would u give them for free? im a single mom with three kids and they go thru so many shoes!

User ArroganceSuitsMe replied to SinInTheCity’s post “would u give them for free?”:
Obviously not, cheapskate, or she would have posted them in the “free” forum instead. Stop begging and learn 2 spell.

Sorry, don’t get a lot of dads on here. Can’t you just return them? Should still be in the return window if you’ve only had them a week!

They were a gift from a family member my wife and I will be going no-contact with who didn't give us the receipt, so no, we can’t return them. It’s more of the principle of the thing at this point. I will not deliver them, but they can be picked up at either my or my wife’s work - I work on the army base and my wife works near north Main Street.

User CrunchyMama posted:
Are the shoes actually white, or off-white? Do they have hard soles or soft? Are all materials cruelty-free?

Oh my god, Crunchy, not everyone has to be vegan! I guarantee your ex has been feeding your son hot dogs behind your back. I would, if I were him. Go back to the sanctimonius moms forum and leave the rest of this site alone. SOME of us appreciate getting bargain deals and earning a few bucks when we clean out our closets!

No need to be rude or take the Lord’s name in vain, Yoga. My son knows better than to eat animal flesh. I was asking because my sister’s son is ten weeks old right now and I might be interested in getting the shoes for him but I’m not going to support murder! And I was watching a TikTok last week from a natural remedy blogger who was warning everyone about how hard-soled shoes are bad for babies because they need to be able to use their feet to explore the world. Putting shoes on them impedes their aura and hard-soled shoes are even worse. Excuse me if I actually *care* about my nephew.

Sounds like someone (maybe both of you) needs a juice box and a nap.

Fuck off, CCL. She gets on my nerves, is all. I’m gonna do hamburgers tonight in Crunchy’s honor.

I don’t know if they’re “cruelty-free” but I don’t think they’re leather. I’d say they’re plain white but my wife says they’re more “pearl” so I guess that. Shiny, at least? They’re pretty unisex and have elastic along the hole where the foot goes in so they don’t have to tie or anything. The soles feel pretty flexible to me! Link to the shoes: shoes.jpg

Dude, did your baby die? Are these dead-baby shoes? Seems like bad luck…

Arrow, WTF is wrong with you?

User IronE posted:
Wow, assume much? No, she was just born with giant feet and my MIL is an evil harpy who is never going to get to meet my daughter in person. She can’t buy access to my family and she sure is hell isn’t going to get my daughter baptized in her weird-ass church. I wanted to fill them with dog shit and send them back to her but my wife said she’d rather I sell them for $10 since they don’t fit our daughter anyway and we can spend the money to send her mother a glitterbomb that says “go to hell” on the inside. You can see why I married her. My MIL gave us a christening gown too but my wife is going to tie-dye that and make sure to post lots of pictures of our daughter in it on Facebook.

$10 sounds fair and my twins are getting baptized next week. I can pick up anywhere on base. DMed you.

Shoes are sold and PennyLane’s twins are super-adorable (she showed me pictures). She also gave me a tie-dye-patterned bow to go with the dress! I’m gonna have to do the stick-on thing because my daughter is too bald for hair decorations right now but my wife laughed herself silly when I brought it home tonight. Thanks, all (except those of you who were assholes). Gonna go back to lurking now and if you hear a prolonged screaming noise coming from the east side of town, that’s probably going to be my MIL.
