If I want to find really cheap shoes, I wander the mall during a weekend sale and can find decent shoes (Osh Kosh, etc) from 10-15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2049155 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 00:06:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2049155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've been able to buy adidas and new balance on sale for as low as $20, but i bought olive a pair of nikes and i vastly prefer them. they are sooo much easier to get on than adidas and new balance because of one velcro strap. the shoe runs a little wide, and they're so light and comfy. i'm definitely going to buy a size up when she outgrows them.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/nike-kids-free-5-infant-toddler-black-anthracite-white" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/nike-kids-free-5-infant-toddler-black-anthracite-white</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2049099 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 21:47:46 +0000 rachiecakes 2049099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate to spend more than $35 but I will if there are no sales and he needs new sneakers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2049084 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 21:18:37 +0000 bisous 2049084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spend no more than $20-25.

They have TONS of name brand toddler shoes for cheap. I like Osh Josh and Carters. P's most recent ones are jumping beans from Kohls. Wish I had some to send your way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048952 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:13:41 +0000 loveisstrange 2048952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No more than about $30-35. We have a bunch of outlets stores near us, so her current 2 pairs came from the Skechers outlet and we paid $50 for two pairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048950 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:12:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 2048950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under $35. Lo's feet (and the rest of her) grow slowly, so she is in each pair for a long while at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048945 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 17:50:00 +0000 BandDmommy 2048945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around $50 a pair </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048942 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 17:41:30 +0000 looch 2048942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I don't buy ahead anymore! I just gave a friend a bag of never worn shoes that were all the wrong season and wrong size.</p> <p>So now I suck it up and get proper measurements at a shoe store in town that has comparable prices to zappos. I buy one pair from them and one from zappos if they have it, lol.</p> <p>Ask me what I spent on my son's boots this year... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048926 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 17:05:28 +0000 mediagirl 2048926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: 8 - 8.5. She has a pair of sneakers in 9 but they seem pretty big on her yet. </p> <p>@Anagram: @looch: @T-Mom: @blackbird: I try to buy ahead, too when I see some I know she'll wear (but, for example, I won't buy sandals ahead bc who knows what her size will be in July). But for some reason this year I just have no shoes between sizes 7 and 9.

In between I've gotten some decent ones at Target to fill the gaps, and try to buy ahead at outlets. I hate spending more than $25 since she usually wears boots/sandals unless she's doing a sport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048484 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 07:31:47 +0000 ladybee 2048484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in extra supportive shoes now due to ankle probation so we spent $50 but bought them a little big so they'll last. If I could I'd like so stay under $35. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048454 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 02:58:39 +0000 lamariniere 2048454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, the only brand of sneakers we have purchased for DS is Adidas, and I can usually find them betwen 20-30 at discount places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048067 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:38:04 +0000 Kimberlybee 2048067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been lucky at finding good shoes at Nordstrom Rack. Bought some Nikes for about $25 but not sure we'll be as lucky once her feet are bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048040 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:18:07 +0000 mrsjyw 2048040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$25-$35 usually </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2048035 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:15:08 +0000 Dandelion 2048035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 25 here.

They're his only shoes, though. No dress shoes and what not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2047969 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 16:45:49 +0000 Anagram 2047969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually try to shop sales and buy ahead, so right now I have 2 pairs of SKR shoes that won't fit until summer or next fall possibly.</p> <p>Barring that, you just have to bite the bullet and buy--sometimes I find good deals on amazon or 6pm.com. Also, DSW stores have kid sections (some of them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2047963 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 16:42:30 +0000 T-Mom 2047963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy a lot of shoes in advance... I found the tsukihoshi shoes my DS is wearing now for 19.99 and I bought the next two sizes . Good thing he doesn't care that he wears the same shoe for two years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2047945 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 16:30:47 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2047945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too much. i save money in lots of places, but Jordans for the kid isn't one of them.

But I do need to start being them on sale ahead of time, you're smart to do that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-spend-on-kids-sneakers#post-2047938 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 16:28:44 +0000 PrincessBaby 2047938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually buy my LO NB bc I like their wides (I buy them on zappos), and they are usually $38. But my LO's feet do not grow very fast and she'll wear them for ages...Especially if I buy them half a size big. </p>
