PSA: Stride Rite

I just went to the outlet and bough 2.. count them.. 2 pairs of shoes for DS for $43.

Each pair was $19.99 or less. Now that's my way to shop.

I am not looking forward to getting Mason shoes. So much money for three inches of shoe. Plus he just hates things on his feet.

Is that really a good price for toddler shoes?  Are Stride Rites just that good?  

This is not meant to be snarky in any way.  I really am clueless.  DS owns one pair of flip flops I got off of mamabargains, and he's worn them all of once.  I obviously need to start thinking about shoes because he just started walking this week.  I can normally find a pair of tennis shoes for myself at the Nike/Adidas outlet for around $35, so $20 just seems expensive for tiny little shoes.  Like I said, I know nothing though.  Enlighten me.

That's what I was thinking. I don't even pay that much for my own shoes. You would think since baby shoes are so tiny they wouldn't cost a ridiculous amount.

IMO it's a decent deal. DD wears Robeez most days (I buy them EUC off Ebay most times or with Amazon GC's) and they run about the same

We also save everything for hand-me-downs (I will have 3u3)

Yeah I think it's crazy how much shoes are for infants and toddlers. The cheapest pair I have found is $10 on sale this week at JCP.  Otherwise the average I see is $15. It's crazy when they only wear the shoes for a few months. I like to keep an eye on craigslist and at garage sales.

I was lucky enough to find a pair of Stride Rite shoes for DD at Marshalls for $15!  Most of the baby/toddler shoes at places like Target are between $12-17 and they have a lot of cute options!

That is a pretty good deal for Stride Rite, but I've been finding practically brand new pairs (Stride Rite) on Ebay for under $12 (most of them I've paid $8-$10). He needs good shoes because he's SO busy and ruins anything that's cheaply made, but I'm cheap and can't see paying $20+ on a pair of shoes that he'll wear for a few months.
