I've read online women claiming that occasionally clerks in shoe stores will swap out different sizes in a box for them when their feet need two different sizes. That's what they claim anyway.

I was surprised at the number of amputee shoe-swap web sites that came up when DH and I had a discussion about it. One of the beauties of the Internet. Can't imagine how difficult special shoe needs were before the net.

Respectfully, bull on clerk size swapping. No shoe salesperson would ever do that-they’d be canned on the spot. Customers do it all the time but it’s gotten much harder to get away with as sizing is supposed to be checked by both the salesperson and the cashier.

I had to go to a Kohl's to find my daughter a pair of flats for a Halloween costume.
I noticed that someone placed used shoes in the box. They must've swapped out and walked out with the new ones. I also noticed a lot of mismatched shoes in the wrong boxes so I'm guessing people could possibly get away with swapping in a place like that.
Most stores get the shoes for you in the back so it would be a little harder to pull any shenanigans.

My bad for saying that it rarely happens anymore. I was unintentionally being elitist and strictly referring to product in luxury department and shoe stores that are not self-serve. I’m sure it does continue to happen in discount and rack stores where staff is less hands on. Apologies from me.

Today I saw a baby Gucci dress on Mercari. They listed it as brand new . Except for that the image had a drooling baby modeling the dress for sale. Lol!
Oh yes, I really want to pay $320 for a questionable Gucci baby dress that your baby clearly wore and probably spit on. Lol! ( The listing had zero likes. I'm not surprised)
