Dear Mums,
Recently my kid has outgrown all her fall shoes and I can't find any nice ones. It all seems junk..
Where do you buy them? Any ideas would be appreciated ( including online stores) Thanks a lot.
Dana.
There are so few children's shoe stores. It's frustrating. I buy shoes at Nordstrom, Lands End (online or in Sears) and Stride Rite stores. Hannah Andersson (online) also carry shoes. Stride Rite and Nordstrom are best for actually trying the shoes on.
Stride Rite by me is great but expensive, I usually go there for the shoes she is in the most. I also have found cute shoes at Marshall's.
Target and Walmart both carry shoes as well but I find that both the quality and the price are cheap, so if you are looking for shoes that last, I wouldn't reccomend them, but if you don't mind buying two of the same style so you can replace the worn out ones, then the price is low enough that you can do so.
For toddlers: StrideRite. Hands down. 100%.
One my son's feet passed the toddler stage (at around age 4/5) we switched to Vans & Adidas & REI type hiking boots & teva sandals.
Shoes were really important to us (for overall bone and muscle growth and health for their legs, hips, and spines) so they were a "big"/important expenditure. Meaning we did NOT go cheap, even if it meant having to tighten the belt a little.
check out stride rite online! I don't know that you can order directly from them, but they will have a "store locator" option and you can find a retailer near you.
I always get one pair of Stride Rite for each of my kids at the beginning of the school year. They last! My first daughter wore one pair a lot her school year and they stayed so nice that my second daughter is now wearing them. I also like Sketchers brand. Sometimes I have found Sketchers at Ross for cheaper.
striderite. nothing else comes close!
Target shoes are to narrow for my son. I can usually find a decent pair at Ross or Marshalls. I've heard Striderite is good as well.
hello. marshalls and ross sometimes you can find good deals. just takes a little patients...
i like marshalls, tj maxx, kohls, sears.. you just have to look around.. also sometimes i find them on line.... good luck
Online, Zappos is great. Huge selection. They have free shipping and returns. Often shoes arrive the day after you order them.
Where ever they are on sale!
I usually buy my son's shoes at JcPenny's, ShopKo, Fred Meyer's, Famous Footwear...places like that. I *generally* buy my boys Adidas, they're my favorite...and you can get them on sale for about $30+/- a few bucks...and they last!
My 2nd son has worn ALL his older brother's hand-me-down shoes because big bro grows out of them before he destroys them!
I buy my daughter shoes anywhere and everywhere...Nordstrom's rack is good, so is Macy's.
I dont shop online for shoes. I need to touch them and to have the kids try them on so I can feel how they fit! I bought both my sons the cutest pairs of slip on boat/deck shoes looking things at the Vans store last time I was in CA and seriously misjudged sizes...still waiting for those to fit, I think this next summer they should be just right-hopefully:(
ebay and I have an on line store if you are interested in the link contact me. but mine are only toddler shoes.
I really like Kohl's for my older kids and Babies R Us for my little ones....
How old is she? SeeKaiRun.com is my favorite.
I have 3 boys who measure wide so I go to Zappos.com and always find good shoes there. They have an easy return policy and live cust. service. They have every label, too. Goodluck.
Nobody knows your kid's feet like StrideRite!
