Toddler Shoes!

Mags683 · August 2013

What are everyone's favorite sites to get toddler shoes? As a full time working mom, I pretty much purchase everything online! I love stride rite, but they can get pricey... however I would rather pay for quality. Where else do you moms shop? I have had a ton of luck with Shoebuy

They actually have 25% off and free shipping both ways so I got stride rite for like $30. Has anyone used zulily? Any recommendations would be appreciated!!!

We buy mostly Stride Rite (DS has wide feet so choices can be a bit limited) and I signed up for their rewards program and just got a $10 credit coupon, so using that combined with their recent BOGO 1/2 off sale, we got two pairs of shoes for $40. Very happy with that price for Stride Rite.

What I also do after I find a a pair of shoes I like for DS, is shop around for it online - I ordered DS a pair of $40 Pediped for $26 and a pair of $38 Stride Rites for $23 on Amazon. But, Amazon prices can change so a week later those shoes were back up to full price. So, it's hit or miss but definitely worth shopping around.

I've used Zulily - in fact, I probaby buy too much stuff from them. The plus - they can have really good prices on things. The downside, you better be right on the size or buy large because you can't return anything. The other downside, in a way, is their shipping. It's only $6 but when you add that to the discounted price of the item, sometimes the item ends up being cheaper somewhere else - e.g., Amazon if it qualifies for free shipping.

Zappos and 6pm.com are also good sites.

Oh - one more thing. While not always the cheapest (but they do have good sales), I'm a fan of ordering from Nordstrom also since they have free shipping and free returns. Pretty much any reputable online store that offers that is likely to get my business. I always factor shipping into how much I'm willing to pay for something.

Thanks for the feedback! I signed up for the Stride Rite rewards program. Shoebuy has something similar... I love rewards programs.

I love See Kai Run shoes. I shop the sales online.

For my 3 and a half year old son I really like New Balance. Their classic KV990 have held up better than any other shoe he's had and he is rough on shoes. They are suede and they come in wide and extra wide, he's had 2 pairs so far. I like amazon, once you know their size, because I have prime and the prices are pretty good.

Nordstrom, stride rite, van maur, for sturdier everyday shoes

Target and kohls for cheap fun shoes.
Oh and the converse and vans outlets. Because I'm a sucker for kids in converse

I shop our local Children's second hand store Once Upon a Child. I've picked up Stride Rite, Target Brand, Gymboree, Robeez and other top name brand shoes there for cheap. The most I've spent is around $4.50/pair

Toddlers feet grow so fast that they are rarely worn out, especially for girls styles (which I am looking for) and I've even found brand new pairs with the tags still on them.

Amazon has some stride rite shoes for MUCH less than the SR website. One pair is $16 on Amazon and $40 on SR. I have ordered from Zulily for Stride Rite. I recommend taking your LO to get measured beforehand (sometimes Zulily sends out pre-sale emails about big brands) or purposely buying up a size.
