Disappointed in shoe selection for toddler boys

IU_baby

I didn't have a problem finding cute shoes through size 5.  Size 6 is an entirely different story. 

I really don't want to spend $40 (or more) on shoes he is going to outgrow in 3 months, but everywhere that sells reasonably priced shoes only has ugly chunky shoes or character ones.

I know we've talked about shoes quite a bit lately, but does anyone have suggestions?

Did you try stride rite?  I know Kathy and I were talking about that alot the other day.  There is an outlet store down in Edinburgh that I really want to check out.

They're a part of the $30+ per pair club and they have nothing I really like.  I may have to suck it up though.

Andrew is in 6.5 and needs 7's next.  I feel like there is an awkward in between stage, esp for kids with big feet. 

I got his 6.5's at Stride Rite. In 7's there are even less options

I like these a lot (on sale for $29) but I like velcro for Andrew so that won't work.  

He'll need sandals in the spring and I like something like this or this, but again, expensive.

Nope!  I was hoping to hear that you found some great deal at Payless  I've never been able to find cheap shoes for B - I'll find a cute pair at say Target but they never have his size.  I was excited that Zuilly had wee squeaks on today but of course they pretty much just have girl's shoes.

In my post earlier this week someone suggested Marshall's.  I need shoes for Andrew so I'm going to look there.

I'm sure you've already looked at Zappos, but that's my only suggestion. Except that Zappos does always = cheaper (though the free shipping is nice, obviously).

I'd check Journeys Kidz, they have some mini versions of popular stuff.  I've gotten some deals for L there on clearance.  I can't really speak to the boys selection though.

Try 6pm.com. They have sales all the time. I got Eli (size 5 and 5.5) 3 pairs for about $30. Nikes and another name brand that I can't recall at the moment.

I just bought Brody 2 pairs of flip flops and Eli a pair of polliwogs for about $30 too.

Good luck!
