Where do you buy your kids shoes?

Just curious

 

So far:
2 pairs at an expensive local kids' shoe store
3 pairs at Target
5 pairs at the twins club sale (including a couple they haven't grown into yet)

I have to admit, the ones that have worked the best have been the 2 from the expensive local store, plus one of the ones from Target (Osh Kosh brand).

They're still at size 2 and 3, though, so my options are limited.

 

I have bought SO FEW pairs of shoes that the have had Robeez and now they are on his 3nd pair (Sandals last summer, winter shoes and now a pair of sneakers - with sandals to come!)of Stride Rites. DD had a pair of Keds that worked for a while but she started to say OUCH when I put them on. So she actually is in her 2nd pair of Stride Rites.

 

Usually Wal-Mart or Kohls. I just bought some really cute sandals from Wal-Mart the other day.

 

Places we have bought:

Walmart
Target
Stride Rite
Amazon.com(our squeaker shoes)

 

I usually buy their shoes online so I've ordered from Shoebuy (usually there is a coupon floating around and they have free shipping and returns and lots of brand), pedoodles, REI, several other children's online store, babystyle, and nordstroms. I've also jumped on a couple of shoe pre-sale (coops) and got some good deals on shoes.

For my oldest we buy sneakers at Vans and this year bought thongs at Nordstroms. We will probably do the same for the twins.

We got their first real shoes at a Sketcher's outlet. They never walked in them.

We have recieved 6 pairs of Robeez as gifts.

After they started walking, I have bought shoes at...
Marshalls (they have Stride Rite)
Target (summer sandals)
Footware, Ect. (Merrels on clearance)

 

1 pair tennis shoes for every day at school: Stride Rite

1 pair tennis shoes for play, 1 pair church shoes, 1 pair sandals: Target or Payless

 

I usually buy their shoes online at Zappos.com and Nordstrom.com and at my local Nordstrom store (when I go and return all my online purchases ). I always buy way more shoes than what we end up keeping (including different sizes of the same shoe), so that they can try them on at home and I can quickly return all rejects. I only buy from companies that have easy (no questions asked) return policies.

 

Mostly online (uggs, converse, pedoodles, preschoolians,) but I have a few pairs of Target sandals I just bought the girls for the summer. I also just got them some Skechers "crocs" called Babybugs.

 

So far I think only at Stride Rite and PayLess.

 

I've ordered from Zappos before and never thought about them having kids shoes I love that company- never had any problems and free shipping and free returns. Thanks ladies for the replies- since we are walking- we are wearing more shoes Hehe! And that means now I have to put socks and shoes on them

 

I've purchased almost all of mine from Stride Rite (including our Robeez that they wore up until 1 year). I have purchased some Stride Rite sneakers on amazon though. I did buy Catherine some black patent dress shoes at Target this year b/c I knew she would only wear them a few times. I also bought some water sandals at Old Navy last year just to wear to the pool, etc.

 

Let's see...

Dillards
Academy
JC Penney
Nike Outlet

Academy by far has the best selection of any store around here.
