Talk to me about shoes for LO

tmhutch

DD is thisclose to walking and I have no clue what shoes to get for her.  I want something warm (boots) for when we are outside and them some regular shoes.... I know StrideRite/Robeez are really good, but I can't fathom paying $30 for a pair of baby shoes that she will out grow in 3 months.  What do you all have for your LO's?

I think target sells Robeez like shoes- and they are not as much as the Robeez. DD only wears Pedipeds- I LOVE them- soft soled and so cute.

I buy very slightly used Pedipeds on Ebay for about 1/2 the price of new ones.

Do you have a Stride Rite/Keds/Sperry's outlet near you?  They sell the Robeez for under $20 there. 

DS isn't walking yet, but they are worth the extra $ to me.  He can't take them off himself and they stay on vs. other shoes we have for him.   I'm pretty frugal, but if something is really worth it IMO, I'll pay for it!

I keep my eye out on the deal-a-day sites, they'll sometimes sell all the brand names for half off.

I like the Circo (Target) brand shoes. I have a pair of brown, black "mary jane" type pre-walker shoes for my daughter and I plan on getting her a pair of boots for Christmas.

My DS was in Robeez or Pedipeds, and we still have a couple pairs of Pedipeds in the 6-12 size since he's not walking outside.  He also has a pair of Stride Rites.

For my DD, she was also in Pedipeds the first year of her life, and then I moved to Stride Rite and she was exclusively in those for awhile.  I still buy from there for some pairs, but I also get her shoes that match outfits from Gymboree and Baby Gap and she has Uggs, and some shoes from Target.  I get her dress shoes from Target every year since she doesn't wear them that often.  

Her gym shoes have always been Saucony or New Balance.  I go to Nordstrom for her shoes even though there are 2 Stride Rite stores near me because I think the service is better and they have more of a selection.

DS has a pair of boots from Target. They were $20 and they are exactly like Robeez.
