If you've bought stride rite shoes...

Where are you buying them? At an actual stride rite store, department store, etc? The closest stride rite store we have is an hour and a half away. I'm just seeing if there are other stores that sell them. Thanks laides!

We have a stride rite store we bought them at but there is also a local children's shoe store that sells them and Keens and other kids shoes

@JFresh what store is this??

beckyjoy8 · September 2013

@jfresh that's amazing! What a deal!

And to anyone else with a kid who has chubby feet, these shoes work good? They go on well and such? I've bought a few shoes at garage sales and they are so hard to get on his chubby feet. So would you say stride rite is the way to go?? Sorry I know this has been discussed, but my kid wasn't walking then. I should've paid attention!!

We went to the Stride Rite store, but I will never go again. @bubbajug found out they are sold on Amazon for much cheaper than at the store.

The best reason to go to the store is to get measured and then you know what size to buy online

Thanks for all the tips! I guess we'll make a trip to the store to get him fitted and probably buy them online or elsewhere when we see them.

I've bought them at the store and also on eBay. I lucked out and found 2 pair at a kids consignment sale last week for $3 each and they are in excellent condition.

My chubby-footer is in a '5 1/2 XW' - definitely try to get s fitting done!

Amazon. They're quite a bit cheaper and have a much larger selection.

My 14 mo DS is a 5.5 W at Stride Rite and I love the shoes. I like to get him fitted at the store and buy one pair. Then I look on Amazon, at resale shops, or Nordstrom Rack/TJ Maxx/Marshall's for a second pair.

@GreenMonkey1 that's good advice, thank you. I didn't know they sold any at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. I'll have to look there after we get him fitted!

I can't justify spending $25+ on a pair of kids' shoes that are going to only be worn for a few weeks before not fitting anymore. I purchase them used at a consignment stores or from ebay. I have gotten amazing deals on great shoes in great condition. Just this week I got a pair of brown leather stride rite shoes for $7 including shipping. Can't beat it. When they arrive, I clean them and spray them with shoe spray... as good as new.
