Does this sound right? “ I ordered those shoes the day ( that ) they came out.” Or it’s ..“ I ordered those shoes the day they came out.” ?

Answer:

"I ordered the shoes the day they came out" sounds best

Step-by-step explanation:

in English writing, using the shortest sentence that explains your point is almost always the best way to go. no need for an extra word that does not add significant meaning. it sounds better without "that"
