Thanks.
And it would even have been completely justified if you had been using German and had said "Die selben" (= "the same" in the sense of "The very same shoes that guy is wearing" or "I want the shoes that guy is wearing, not just the same type." Basically it means the identical same item. Not just identically looking. It's the same item.) instead of "Die gleichen" (= "the same" in the sense of "The same
type of shoes that guy is wearing". Basically it refers to a similar item.). Sadly, many people don't realise there is a difference, these days.
