I might have another boy one day, but I feel like I can't save stuff for *might* </p> <p>@Mrs.Pen the Crocs are size 6/7 and this style is slightly narrower than the other ones so they aren't as clunky </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-keep-shoes-for-hand-me-downs#post-633039 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 08:38:55 +0000 littlebittyhouse 633039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>keep the crocs - consign/donate the rest. </p> <p>the stride rite website talk about not using 2nd hand shoes because of the forming to the original wearers foot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-keep-shoes-for-hand-me-downs#post-632635 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 03:43:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 632635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like boy shoes with girly outfits. I'd keep the Crocs and the brown ones :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-keep-shoes-for-hand-me-downs#post-632615 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:59:50 +0000 tororojo 632615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The crocs are so cute! The rest are a little boyish IMO, I would get rid of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-keep-shoes-for-hand-me-downs#post-632541 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:03:19 +0000 BoogieBea 632541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would sell them. I did keep all of my son's (he didn't have very many) shoes for my daughter but they all looked gender neutral. I ended up buying some new shoes for my daughter anyway - there are just so much more options for girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-keep-shoes-for-hand-me-downs#post-632537 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:00:33 +0000 T-Mom 632537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would save the crocs and sell everything else, especially since you're moving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-keep-shoes-for-hand-me-downs#post-632535 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 23:58:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 632535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They do seem pretty boyish... Except the first pair- brown ones and the blue croc style could pass as girl shoes! Just pair with a more feminine outfit. </p> <p>Otherwise sell the rest :)</p> <p>Or if you don't want the croc style ones- I might buy them from you! What size are they? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-keep-shoes-for-hand-me-downs#post-632529 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 23:43:12 +0000 glimmersnaps 632529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is two and I'm having another in July, but it's a girl. We are also planning to move this year--likely out of state and possibly across the country. </p> <p>I'm already beginning to purge DS's clothes (ahem, and everything else we own) and I can't decide what to do about his shoes. They are mostly all Stride Rite and were pretty expensive, but some are pretty well worn. (We never did pre-walkers for him. He walked early!) *I've also heard it's not great to wear used shoes because the shoe is already conformed to the original wearer's foot.</p> <p>What should I do? Keep them or sell them at the resale shop??? </p> [attach=2713/13/mjj6g1.600x450.DSC09845.JPG]
