I have a 2 year old playgroup and one of the grandmothers asked me what size shoe my son wears, being that she bought a pair for her grandson while on vacation and they are too small for him. she sent the shoes over today and they fit perfectly. the boys father said "im glad they fit enjoy them!" when he gave them to us this morning. my question is, do I need to offer to pay for them or is it understood as a gift?

It is a gift by default, but it would be polite to offer to pay for them. If the grandmother is equally polite, she will refuse.

Clearly a gift...you should not offer to pay. They explained that they could not use them and are truly happy that you can. If they had wanted to sell them they would have done that (or tried to)!

Totally a gift. But as an unsolicited gift from a stranger, it would be a nice touch, as cfriedman said, to send a note and/or baking or similar.
