Maybe they were thinking you'd buy them from budget department store & they wouldn't be that expensive.

I'd feel grateful that someone wanted to do something nice for my child and I'd ask if they wanted to make a partial contribution towards the cost of the shoes.

Don’t offer without knowing the price

If they can't afford the $50 then they can't afford it. Is there a cheaper pair they can buy? If it's a specific pair you're after then maybe you can split the cost. I know they said they'd pay for them and they could have handled it differently but unfortunately that's the way it is these days. Don't let it ruin your Xmas x

Give them a break. Everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure we've all had to back out of something at some point in our lives and who knows. Maybe they have have had a massive financial set back since offering. Don't judge someone you don't know
