They're like the clothes that no one else wanted but can't quite give away. Like the sweaters your grandma knits you but you never wear because they're so tacky, but you can't toss them because of the love put into them. So they just stay in the back of your closet to mournfully hang for all eternity but someone swooped them out and threw them into those boxes.
I was so caught up on the clothes part that I forgot about shoes. I'm not about to say no to free shoes for the moment though because these heels are already starting to hurt.
