"Middle-of-the-road" Shoes?

In lieu of more expensive brands (See Kai Run; Pedipeds), I recently checked out StrideRite, but learned they're pretty pricey, too.  I'm looking for some sandals for DD -- anyone know of any other brands or stores to check out? I'm looking for something simple -- preferably no cartoon characters or glitter!

    I got Reagan cute white ones at Payless.

    Sometimes you can find good deals at Famous Footwear.

    Sometimes the department stores have great sales on StrideRite's and other brands.  But check out TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Ross, Penny's, and Khols (although I found Khols to be a bit pricey - for Khols).

    Payless, Target and Footwear are where we have had the best luck. Last week Famous Footwear was having a BOGO sale and I got DS two pair of Buster Brown shoes for $40 which I thought was a pretty good deal.

    Gymboree and Baby GAP have nice shoes and can be pretty cheap when it goes on sale.

    I must be the only one that doesn't have luck at Target with kids' shoes.  They never have the sizes I need for the ones that are cute, and all the rest are just eh.  And I haven't found their girls' shoes to be very cute.  Although there are a few cute ones, the majority are very glittery, or they have flower appliques on them, which is NMS.

    I had good luck at Kohl's.

    I loved Target shoes up until size 5 - DD wore their pre-walker shoes and they were super cute with soft flexible "leather" soles (she wore them as a walker too) But their larger shoes all seem to have very stiff soles and DD still doesn't walk well in really stiff shoes.

    Mostly she wears striderite. They have a sale a couple times a year plus as a pp mentioned, the department stores sell them and put them on sale more often. Most of DD's striderites have come from Dillards - all under $30. I did find a pair of sandals for DD at Marshalls that had a decently flexible sole too - oh, and they often have striderite shoes too.

    I have found some good deals on See Kai Run at different times.  We haven't tried Stride Rite, but I read this post today:
