Buying shoes during the nine days

Question:

I accidentally ordered shoes this past Thursday, which was the second of the 9 days. I was looking at a pair of shoes that was $175, but on Thursday I saw it at $125. Without thinking, I ordered them. They arrived, and I am wondering if I should return them because I bought them during the 9 days. I knew it was the 9 days when I ordered them; I just wasn't thinking. My question is whether I should return them.

Thank you

Answer:

Hello,

Although you shouldn’t have ordered them, I am not aware of any obligation to return them or refrain from wearing them after they were already bought. Therefore, just wait until after Tisha B’av to wear them.

Best wishes
