Tennis shoes, Mary Janes and rain boots. Need to get a pair of snow boots soon! I got used to her outgrowing shoes as soon as I bought them so I go very minimal, although I could probably branch out now that she's slowed down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo/page/2#post-2368945 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 03:59:29 +0000 anonysquire 2368945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm maybe I like shoes too much? Or maybe Zuma does. She has probably 50 pairs of shoes. Pirate has maybe 10 pairs, well unless you count his hand me down moccasins I used to sell then it's close to 30. We like shoes here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo/page/2#post-2347621 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 15:42:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2347621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like standard for my preschooler is:<br /> A pair of sneakers for play<br /> A pair of rain boots<br /> A pair of dress shoes<br /> Possibly a pair of casual dressy shoes, for outfits that sneakers look weird with but dress shoes look weird with too. Like sparkly slip ons or a leather bootie or something.<br /> If we lived in a colder climate, warm boots or snow boots would be on the list too. But for us, rain boots with liners suffice.</p> <p>For my 2 year old, just 1-2 pairs. She's picky and has to be very okay with her shoes or else it's an epic meltdown. Right now she has 2 pairs she will wear--stride rite Mary Janes and a pair of rain boots. Those 2 pairs will likely get us through all of fall and winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo/page/2#post-2347570 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 13:47:06 +0000 LilSprinkles 2347570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the summer, DS has two pairs (gym shoes and sandals). Now, he has just one pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo/page/2#post-2347565 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 13:39:01 +0000 Kemma 2347565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss A is three and we've gone for quality over quantity this summer, she has a pair of Clarks for preschool (good quality because we walk there and back), a pair of Bobux sandals as her good / dress shoes and she still fits her hand-me-down sandals from last summer. A also has a pair of gumboots but I don't really include them in her shoe count.</p> <p>For winter A had a pair of leather boots, leather sneakers and an almost-too-small pair of maryjanes (all Bobux). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo/page/2#post-2347505 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 10:14:03 +0000 Tidybee 2347505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: those uggs are too cute. may have to get a pair for DD1.</p> <p>DD1 just turned 3. For fall and winter, she has:<br /> 1 pair of black leather dress shoes from old navy<br /> 1 pair of rain boots<br /> 1 pair of snow boots<br /> 2 pairs of sneakers (I usually just get one pair but someone got her frozen sneakers for her birthday last week, so there's no way we could return those....)<br /> 1 pair of gold ankle boots from old navy to wear with jeggings, leggings and tunic sets.</p> <p>Prior to this (and being in school), I really did quite fine with 1 pair of dress shoes for holidays, 1 pair of sneakers, and 2 pairs of everyday shoes (usually a low shoe and a boot for fall/winter) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo/page/2#post-2347500 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 09:36:12 +0000 Pancakes 2347500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 year old has a pair each of Keens (summer), rain boots, snow boots, "fashion" boots (Gap), "party shoes" (aka maryjanes), slip on glittery sneakers, canvas sneakers, Nikes, and crocs Mary Janes, plus a pair of saltwater sandals for the summer. I may have a shoe problem. But, kid is hard on her shoes and she wears them all.</p> <p>DD2 has 2 pairs of hand-me-down pedipeds from her older sister but she also isn't walking yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo/page/2#post-2347478 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 07:09:07 +0000 Mrs. D 2347478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sandals in the summer<br /> Snow boots in the winter<br /> Rain boots for spring and fall<br /> Sneakers for outside<br /> Sneakers for inside at Daycare<br /> Dress shoes for at church and other fancy occasions<br /> She also currently has ballet slippers for dance class.<br /> So right now it's 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo/page/2#post-2347471 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 06:36:39 +0000 catomd00 2347471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD didn't wear shoes until she was a steady walker at 11 months. At 20 months she has 3 pairs - sneakers, uggs and Sperry's. It annoys me when they don't match her outfit but not enough to buy more shoes that she will grow out of in a few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo#post-2347446 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 00:17:33 +0000 MrsSRS 2347446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Warm weather is play sneakers, crocs, and nicer sneakers/dressier shoes. Cold weather replace crocs with snow boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo#post-2347192 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:33:00 +0000 jape14 2347192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 14 months and we have three pairs in his current size: natives, grey converse, and some nicer navy leather shoes. For the summer he basically had the natives and a pair of see wee sandals. I have the next size up in the converse on deck only because I accidentally got him the wrong size at first. We live in the South so no need for winter boots thank goodness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo#post-2347176 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:21:47 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2347176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to have shoes at never leave daycare, so it looks like a lot. But they're all practical play shoes. It's too wet and cold where we live to have anything fancy. DD is 3.</p> <p>2 pairs of lined rain boots, 1 pair of waterproof winter sneakers, 1 pair of heavy duty snow boots that will likely not fit her when it starts to snow. All her summer sneakers, sandals and Croc boots still fit her, but it's too cold to wear those now. Currently in circulation: 3</p> <p>I just checked her shoe basket to count all her sandals and it's a shockingly embarrassing amount! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo#post-2347174 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:20:21 +0000 travellingbee 2347174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has two pairs of crocs and sneakers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo#post-2347169 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:18:41 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2347169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This summer he had<br /> Hunter boots<br /> skr sneakers<br /> Old navy native type shoes<br /> Hand me down crocs</p> <p>For fall he just has a pair of sneakers from gap<br /> Winter he will have those plus a dressier pair of toms and north face winter boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo#post-2347161 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:11:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2347161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually3-4 depending on the season. Everyday/sneakers, Mary Janes for dress shoes, and water shoes in the summer (iplay/ native knock offs) and winter boots for the winter. Plus I do like to get fashion boots for the cool weather. </p> <p>I don't buy ahead for shoes though, beyond the next size up. Her foot seems to grow so unpredictably it would end up costing way more than paying full price. Right now she is still roughly the same size she was at the beginning of the summer so I'm just waiting for her foot to grow a full size overnight or something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-a-size-for-your-lo#post-2347156 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:07:44 +0000 Mamasig 2347156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3 but I have boys.

He had one pair of sneakers and one pair of sandals over the summer. He also had some knock off crocs, but he didn't like to wear them.

Now he has about that plus some handmedown rain boots.<br /> My daughter has about 8 pairs of robeez type shoes in the 6-12 month size, all of my friends got them for me for my shower, because my son had these crazy fat feet. Her feet are so super tiny, I don't know when they will fit her!
