"A small shoe"

Translation: Mały but

[akian]

Is it safe to say but and buty are gender neutral words?

[Jellei]

There isn't anything like a "gender neutral" word in Polish...

Or do you mean neuter? Then no. "But" is masculine. "buty" are 'not masculine-personal plural' (they are not masculine persons).

Thank you for clarifying!

It offered buty, it did not offer but as an answer

[Jellei]

Well, "but" is the only starred answer, "buty" is wrong (it could be among the words possible to click), so "but" really must have been there... we'd need a screenshot to check this issue.
