Surprised that Nike fits wide feet so well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756690 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 11:51:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2756690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Online anywhere really, just hunting for bargains mostly. I've bought DD Puma and New Balance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756663 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 11:17:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 2756663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kohl's, Dillard's, Norstrom Rack, or the Nike outlet. I like Nikes for my girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756656 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 11:06:53 +0000 looch 2756656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Local places where I can measure. I have made too many mistakes in the past with ordering online sight unseen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756638 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 10:42:01 +0000 autumnlove 2756638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zappos, Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756608 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 09:52:07 +0000 littlebug 2756608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually measure at home and buy on Pediped Outlet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756498 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 21:18:17 +0000 MamaCate 2756498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: our nordstrom rack has stride rite, usually at least 30% off. We don't have a stride rite store here either but our Dillard's carries them. But not for cheap.</p> <p>So we usually go to Rack with the kids and try on until we find something we like and that seems to fit. </p> <p>We also went through a stage where there was a stride rite style we loved and bought the next size of the same shoe 3-4 times off Amazon. That worked well since I know the shoe fit before.</p> <p>But I recommend Nordstrom Rack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756491 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 20:42:01 +0000 Beth24 2756491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go to the closest Nike outlet, also hit up Oshkosh and gap while I'm there...I only do it once or twice a year though since I tend to spend too much while I'm there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756396 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 08:36:41 +0000 Alba4 2756396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: Be careful. A few years ago, I just ordered the next size up with DS1, and then I got him measured and I was off by 1 full size (like I was buying a 7 and he measured an 8!!!). Oops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756395 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 08:34:32 +0000 Alba4 2756395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I'm in the same boat with my boys. Ordering online sucks imo. I just need a store to measure and have the w and ew in stock, darn it!! We did get him measured at Journey kids, but they didn't carry any wide widths. I've ordered from Zappos, but DS complained that the New Balance wide sneakers were tight. </p> <p>I'm actually going to Nordstrom on Wed. The baby needs real shoes since his Robeez aren't holding up to the outdoor elements. </p> <p>I miss Stride Rite already!😢 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756393 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 08:32:50 +0000 peachykeen 2756393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy New Balance for DD and check a couple sites for the best deal/color combo. Zappos, shoemall, shoebuy, or Amazon usually.</p> <p>I just buy the next size up so no need to measure, but most of the sites seem to offer free return shipping and I have ordered multiple sizes of brands I'm not familiar with in the past. </p> <p>New Balance seems to run very true to size for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756343 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 22:21:51 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2756343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nordstrom's, a few local places that I like, or I order a whole bunch on Zappos and take advantage of the free shipping and returns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756335 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 21:11:25 +0000 ShootingStar 2756335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually buy them on amazon. I like NB a lot for DS because he has wide feet and high arches and they fit him well. I usually just buy a size up from what he's wearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756323 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 19:35:05 +0000 skipra 2756323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an independent shoe store that carries stride rite. I'm planning to go there next time we need shoes. We did receive a guide to measure from SR last week so I am curious to see how my measurements taken from that will compare to the shoe store. And now I will be forced to shop local which is a big thing around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756278 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 16:16:38 +0000 erinbaderin 2756278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is Foot Locker only a Canadian chain? They have a sub-store, Foot Locker Kids. But any shoe store will measure a child's foot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756269 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 15:04:05 +0000 hony bologna 2756269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a Nordstrom near you? We usually go to SR or Nordstrom, or just buy the next size up online. I've also printed out the little sizing guides that brands have on their websites and have found them to be pretty accurate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-buy-kids-sneakers#post-2756264 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 14:29:28 +0000 travellingbee 2756264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to always get them at stride right, but they closed all of the stride rite stores. Now I have no idea where to take my four-year-old to get his feet measured and buy sneakers for back to school. I don't really want to buy them online, since I don't know what will fit. </p>
