It's just a month, you don't have old sneakers? Maybe your guardian will be impressed by how mature and understanding you are by saying you'll wait and you'll get sneakers sooner.

Yess Id be pretty angry too! But isnt there a dress code at your school? because some schools dont let people wear sandals;o

no. perhaps your parents don't have money to waste on you. wear sandals. when it gets cold, surely you have a pair of socks. do you only have one leg? is that why you are asking for one shoe? if so, there is a charity that matches up people like you.
