I try to aim for one pair of sneakers and a rain/snow boot for the colder months plus a pair of Natives for the warmer months. LO's feet are slow to grow, and I have two pairs of sneakers this season since he is so rough with his shoes.</p> <p>LO2 wears hand me down shoes. :silly: Currently he has a pair of sneakers, Natives, Toms, and rain boots. I have only purchased 3 pairs of shoes for him so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2613127 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 05:17:33 +0000 ValentineMommy 2613127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot more than is needed.</p> <p>He had a TON of pairs for summer because I kept catching Croc sales and getting shoes for dirt cheap. </p> <p>For fall, he has 2 everyday sneakers, 2 "fashion" sneakers, 2 pairs of slip on sneakers, and a pair of rain boots. Since we have a second son, all the shoes will be passed down anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2613123 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 03:33:34 +0000 travelgirl1 2613123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In sumner, I used to get her sandals, water shoes and rain boots. This year she lived in rain boots 😂 It's her fashion statement at the moment. For fall/winter she will need rain boots, party shoes, every day boots. Maybe trainers....<br /> DS just has one pair of shoes but will need at least wellies. It's so wet and muddy here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2613119 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 02:58:01 +0000 Kemma 2613119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy has three pairs of winter shoes / boots; rain boots, daycare boots (were his sister's!) and good leather boots. His big sister has daycare boots and shoes (one pair of each), leather boots (actually a plain navy blue boys style so she can pass them down) and pink leather maryjanes.</p> <p>In summer they'll each have a pair of daycare sandals and a pair of good leather sandals, plus jandals each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2613115 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 02:06:47 +0000 lamariniere 2613115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: Thanks! I actually just bought her a pair of pink rain boots, but wanted to keep the brand in mind for the next time. Her feet grow SO fast compared to L (it's her 3rd pair of boots this year!). He still has plenty of room in his rain boots from last year! We've seen that uni-kitty. She loves it! Ha ha, she's so predictable in her girly taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2613112 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 01:57:24 +0000 Pumuckl 2613112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 + rain boots </p> <p>DS has sneakers year round and sandals/snow boots.<br /> DD has high top early walker shoes and t-strap sandals, she'll also get snow boots in two months or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2613108 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 01:36:14 +0000 sandy 2613108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: so I don't know if L has watched the Lego movie but apparently there is this unicorn cat character so when C saw these boots she was like "uni-kitty!"

She also currently still fits into and wears another old pair of worn-out sneaks, a pair of dressier/flats, a pair of sandals, and her Natives. Most of those will be too small or wrong season soon, although I'll try to get some fall wear out of the dressier flats.</p> <p>Once it gets colder &amp; snowier, I'll add in a pair of snow boots and a pair of nicer winter shoes (chukkas or tall boots or something) that she can pair with nicer outfits to church or whatever.</p> <p>I don't keep many shoes for hand-me-downs to DD2, unless they are boots or more minimally worn. For fall she currently has a new pair of SKR sneaks, a pair of indoor mocs for preschool, and a pair of rainboots. I should have some winter boot hand-me-downs for her, so will only have to add in a pair of nicer/church-ish winter shoes/boots.</p> <p>ETA: so that is 5 pairs per kid for the fall/winter season. but the rainboots should hopefully last through spring too! and the indoor shoes that live at school are a new thing for us this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2612887 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 16:14:36 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2612887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past, LO1 has had 3-4 pairs per season, but for some reason right now she has 9 (though 2 pairs are the next size up that I found for great prices and she pulled them out of her closet.) I need to trim back and will probably only buy a pair of every day shoes and a pair of nicer ones for the fall/winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2612882 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 16:08:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2612882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First fall - 2 pair of moccasins<br /> (she really could've had just 1 but I couldn't help myself) </p> <p>First winter - 2 pair of boots<br /> (she really didn't need 2, but I preferred to have 1 pair of flex sole for daycare and then hard for outdoors)</p> <p>Past spring - 1 pair of sneakers<br /> (we have other hand me down shoes that she refused to wear) </p> <p>Summer - 3 pair of water shoes (1 kept at daycare, 1 for our yard, 1 for regular wearing). She had hand me down flip-flops that she grew out of. I had also bought her jelly mary-janes that she refused to wear</p> <p>This fall - 2 pairs of sneakers (actually she has a 3rd pair in one size up since she already is the size I bought her sneakers in...) </p> <p>This winter - Nothing yet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2612876 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 15:57:44 +0000 jmarionsmith 2612876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 3, a "dressy" pair, a casual pair &amp; rainboots. DS, 4, is too picky and likes wearing the same ones over and over. DD, 2, outgrows her shoes too fast to have several pair. As she gets older, I'm sure her shoe count will quickly surpass her brother's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2612874 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 15:51:48 +0000 catlady 2612874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 4 or 5. We do one pair of sneakers, 1-2 pairs of mary janes (her favorite style), and 1-2 seasonal ones. Right now, the seasonal ones are crocs and sandals, and when the weather gets cooler, I'll get her some walking boots and snow boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-shoes-does-your-child-have-per-season#post-2612871 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 15:45:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2612871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has one pair for the summer.
