That would be awesome, maybe they can find that for adults too...I hate going shoe shopping
That’s a lot of money to spend on a pair of shoes for a toddler.......might as well buy the new shoes ahead of time......
Then you must be an aberration among women! My wife and daughter go shoe shopping all the time. My wife has more shoes than I’ve ever owned in my entire life. Imelda Marcos would be proud...........
You are an adult and your feet are still growing? How strange. ;9)
Chameleon shoes would work for adult women...except for producing the “rush” of shopping.
LOL!
goodness me, I don’t have that many and I really haven’t shopped shoes for my son whom is 19 months old, I usually get hand me downs from friends but I am sure there’s going to come a time that we will have to go shoe shopping for him...
It is just I feel it is a pain in the butt most of the time, cause both my other half and I are picky about our shoes since we wear big sizes, I am sure my son and the future baby that I have growing inside of me will have big feet too, cause we have big feet in our family!
I wore a 10 1/2 when I was 20...now 30 years later I’m up to a 13...hope it stops there...it’s hard to find much off the rack bigger than a 13.
ROFLMAO!
I wore a size 6 1/2 at age 20 and a size 7 1/2 now at age 67, but that is not a growing foot, it’s spreading. Other parts of me have spread as well. ;9)
Yes, with good servicable shoes for kids running about $8.00 at Wally World, it doesn’t hurt the wallet at all to buy new sizes throughout the year, if necessary.
Then again my kids barely wear shoes except in the winter. A couple of pairs of flip-flops and a croc knock-off do fine.
Yea well. At $100 a pair I think I’ll just go get another pair of $12 sneakers at Walmart instead.
Whatever happened to just buying the kids’ shoes a size or two bigger than needed and stuffing the toes with some cloth for the week it takes for their feet to grow?
My pediatrician always said we wear shoes for one reason....to protect our feet from injury. The world has an obsession with shoes.....An expensive obsession.
Ding, ding, ding ... We have an individual who actually thinks!
(I agree ...)
I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL THE CHINESE FORCED PRISON LABOR WHO MADE THIS AWARD POSSIBLE!
The weird thing is that I’ve got far more shoes than my wife does. She’s distinctly not into shopping. However, mine are all purpose built shoes.
Dress shoes 1 pair everyday wear
Hiking shoes 1 pair
hiking boots 2 pair
extreme cold boots 1 pair
steel toed boots 1 pair
mountain bike shoes 1 pair
road bike shoes 1 pair
old ratty tennis shoes 1 pair
down booties 1 pair-keeps my toes warm when winter camping.
Almost $100, plus tax. That's about 10 pairs of little sneakers at Wal-mart. Or 50 pairs from the secondhand store, although that's a lot more work.
Yeah, my husband and sons are always needing special, expensive shoes, too. He also has nine coats/jackets, each worn for only one specific purpose. The Scouting life ...
