Nope

You never know, some poor kid who packed them might be getting it the neck for this.
Hate to break it to you, dude, but he probability of "some poor kid" taking heat is WAY higher if you tell the company of the mistake (they will know exactly who made an error). If you don't tell the company then it's just random inventory loss which impacts nobody.

Bingo. Just keep em and dont say anything.
It's a write off for the company. They write it off.
Yeah, sure...you announce that you ordered shoes directly from the factory and not one running speciality store owner/manager criticizes you for that. I posted about ordering shoes directly from the manufacturer and I get all kinds of hell from these running store gurus telling me how I'm a chump for not contributing to local community by shoes through them. That stinks! ðŸ¤

About two years ago, I found a listing for Brooks Ghost 7 (current model at the time) showing them being $1.20 including shipping. I ordered seven pairs to see what would happen.
The next day, I received an email stating that the price was an error and the shoes were $120. They further stated that they were canceling my order, refunded my $8 and gave me a code for 20% off of my next order as a consolation.
About a week later, I received a box with all seven pairs. I kept them in the box for about a month expecting to be contacted and asked to return them.
Never heard anything from it.
Bravo!
To the OP, I'd order another pair to see if it happens again.
I would definitely keep them, but pay it forward somehow. Buy a stranger coffee next time you go to starbucks
O.k. I don't edit my posts thoroughly. I make tons of errors. Usually I just try to understand what someone is trying to say and move on. However, I am amazed at how many people don't know how to use the word conscience. More that 50% of the internet uses of that word are wrong. It seems like that. I don't know the actual occurrence rate. It is attention getting to me because it makes me wonder if there is a connection to not knowing how to use it and poor values in our society?

If you have a conscious then you would return/notify the store folks. This happened to me once where they sent an extra pair and I returned them.

Irregardless, you should proofread.
I like how the OP already reported his results and people keep posting advice. Like they don't read or comprehend, they just speak.

This is a troll from some born again, bozo.
Many brands ship directly to you if you are a certified coach. The majority of major brands, I would say.
If you are paying retail for shoes, you are missing out.
There is zero chance the actual shoe factory in China, Vietnam, or Malaysia boxed up these shoes, slapped a label on them, and mailed them directly to a consumer.

I'd let them know. They'd probably let me keep them.
Like no one who answers this is pretty wrong.. You tell them. They realize itd be a hassle to get them back from you.. and realize youll use both pairs anyway which is good for their marketing of the brand.. win/win

Obviously, this is correct. Surely the OP meant "straight from the distributor"?
Email them. I bet they will just ask you keep it. If its running shoes, there is very little cost in making one.

But THEY do, and they're the ones writing it off.

You can order from shoes companies (eg go to saucony.com and see if they won't send you a pair of shoes). Whether they are sent from the actual factory is not really the point.
