大多数商店都有《Footerwear Code of Practice》。如果你所经营的鞋店是有保险的，你可以要求把鞋子送到鞋履检测中心，征求独立意见。

My:TRUE answer:NOT GIVE
If you are offered a credit note,you don't have to accept it.If you accept it ,you will usually not be able to exchange it for cash later on.So, you may be left wiht an unwanted credit note,if you cannot find any other shoes you want from the shop.
如果你收到一张信用卡，你不必接受。如果你接受了，以后你通常就不能兑换现金了。所以，如果你在店里找不到任何你想要的鞋子，你可能会留下一张不需要的信用卡。
