I accidentally bought non vegan shoes and didn't refund them. (lemmygrad.ml)

Pls downvote me so I can experience the public shaming I feel I need.

Why? I always only own one pair and wear it down. My pair at the time decided the top wanted to part ways with the sole so it did so I needed a new pair. The one I bought looked normal on the small photo I saw online on the website with a major sale (I paid 20 euros for the shoes, the normal price was 150 I reckon). I didn't filter by material and didn't see it saying it's not not body parts. They make my feet hurt so I need to buy new anyway. I feel bad and need therapeutic downvotes. I will appreciate your cooperation.

Sadly with how retail stores operate if you send them back, there qould be a good chance they'd destroy them instead of reselling them anyway. So keeping them would be the better thing to do.

Also don't beat yourself up, everyone slips up occasionally. This way you'll know to check next time :)
