				<description>&#060;p&#062;So glad you made it home okay!  Yeah, clogs of doom totally earn you new shoe dispensation.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Get new shoes anyway, even if you have sneakers to wear home! A morning like yours and I know I'd feel I earned it. Hope you and your knees are ok. It was an Amazing outfit.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I did, but foolishly wore the clogs of doom. Did not inspect them enough. And I don't know how this happened, I still got to work at time.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Anna, I just read about your mishap on the other thread. I'm so sorry! And to have ruined your lovely shorts as well.  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-sad icon-emoticon-sad "></span>  I would definitely do as MsMary suggested in the other thread and see if your credit card co. has some kind of purchase protection. If that doesn't help, I would contact the retailer too and tell them what happened. They may be willing to take the shoes back, because they might figure that is better than risking a lawsuit.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;But you certainly deserve another pair of shoes, even if don't feel like shopping&#038;nbsp;today.&#038;nbsp;You have already done your penance in advance with the clogs of doom. Dispensation granted.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;If you didn't have those shoes, I'd say buy a new pair. Hope you make it home ok!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I found a really old pair of sneakers under my desk. Going to wear those home.&#060;br /&#062;
I think I'd rather have a glass of chilled wine at home.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Is there any conclusive proof that the clogs pulling apart didnt cause the fall? Just a thought. If so there should be no question about a refund. I guess that puts me on team buy!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Yes, do not put on the cursed shoes (except to walk to the shoe department).

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Get new shoes.&#038;nbsp; I'm sure there is a skinned-knees loophole anyway.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I once walked home (about a mile) on a boot that half of the sole (the heel half) had detached from, so it was flapping around.&#038;nbsp; It does not sound so bad until I tell you it was one of those 90's giant platforms with a big block heel.&#038;nbsp;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Can I get new shoes tonight so I don't go home in clogs of doom? Or walk very carefully?
