To want my shoes back?

Had a sort out a year ago and gave a hard up friend some (then) out of fashion shoes.
I keep thinking about them.
Would it be wrong to ask for them back?

If you gave them as a gift then yes. If they were given on the understanding that they were a loan then no.

It was more "I'm taking these to the charity shop unless you'd like them?"

No harm in asking. Better you have them back than your friend sling them out.

would be wrong to ask for them back outright, but no harm in saying 'hey, remember those shoes i gave you, do you wear them?'. she'll either say 'oh yes, love them, wear them loads' or look a bit embarrassed and mumble something about them not fitting very well. if she answers the latter, then ask for them back.
