Shopping for children’s shoes today is over-rated. I went shopping this week for shoes for my children, and I before I got there I had already decided on a budget of $40 per child. I needed a pair of running shoes for my nine year-old, some skate shoes for my thirteen year-old, and for my four year-old I need something with velcro.
Well, upon walking into the local Foot Locker I was surprised to see that the shoes started at $60 and went up from there. Are you kidding me???? Children’s shoes are supposed be reasonably priced and of good quality. I had to re-group and then ask the sales person if they had any shoes on clearance.
Clearance isn’t bad, but it is hard to keep up with the latest styles when children’s apparel is so outrageously priced. I couldn’t find any shoes that were to my children’s liking, so I left Foot Locker and went down the street to Payless where you can really get a deal for your money. I found all the shoe styles I needed and had some money to spare. I wouldn’t shop there all the time, but this time it made sense, and the kids loved their new shoes.
