Ok so I'm looking for sneakers for my son. I don't really want to spend $45+ dollars on shoes... But I guess I Would…

Remember shoes are important and if you have good support for the ankles baby will not develop flat foot .. my daughter has that and suffers from back pain

Stride rite sneakers aren't. Try kohls, hit a sale and coupon. I got my daughter nikes on clearance for $20 after everything and stride rites for $21.5.

@missjess, they need to get a job 😉😉😉 totally playing!

@girlmom., it's never ending! Lol need another job 🤑

Ugh I need to go spring shopping for the girls too 🙃

@missjess, You could always ask his therapist if there’s a show brand they recommend. I know with stride rite there’s always a trick to putting them on, depending on the shoe. My mom takes J to get his feet sized and fitted, at her dime, so he gets those, but I just got him a pair of light up Cars 3 sneakers from Payless that are his favorite (and he’s obsessed with shoes)!!

@kristenmarie, I hope so too! He's getting therapy twice a week for a a half hour and he's already standing a little on his own so he's making progress! 🤗

@lp1988727, girl I have to buy him a Easter outfit and spring clothes yet! I feel

Like I just finished buying him winter clothes.. Now I have to buy him spring and summer lol. Never ending. I'm waiting a little though cause with Christmas I bought his clothes early and by Christmas time they didn't fit. ☹️

@missjess, hopefully they help little guy with walking😊

@girlmom., @kristenmarie, @lp1988727, My son is spoiled I got him the stride rites. Only because I really couldn't find anything else in his size that I liked. He has such little tiny feet so it's hard to find his size. So stride rite it is!

@girlmom., right! I spent 50$ on these stride rite boots he has I got them in January. They are super cute but They are so hard to get on him. His dad never puts his shoes on him and it's like why should I spend so much when he barely where's them and I can get two pairs of sneakers for that price.

@missjess, personally I didn’t spend the extra getting them “name brand” stuff cause like @kristenmarie, said he’ll wear them 2 months tops

@missjess, personally, I wouldn’t spend the money because he’ll only wear them a bit and then they’ll be thrown into storage or something. But in the end it’s completely up to you!

@girlmom., lol that's what I just said ^ like maybe it will help but maybe I'm just wasting my money. Maybe I'll just get him the cheaper carters shoes then instead and then have extra money to get him clothes or food lol

@kristenmarie, I just worry a little cause he's a late bloomer and isn't walking yet and is almost 18 months old. He is having physical therapy to get him where he needs to be. So I figured some nice good shoes could help? Or maybe they won't make a difference and I waste my money lol

I totally understand about this! My daughter didn’t walk till 17 months. I spend the money and stride rite, it didn’t help. Went to Payless and got a her tennis shoes! Since my girls are older, I do spend the money and get them nikes now.

@missjess, honestly, I never put my son in special shoes for when he started walking. Nobody ever told me you had to. And now he walks and runs with confidence

@girlmom., not recently I haven't. My mom and grandma have said stride rite are the best first shoes to have. They are pricey though. But he's already a late bloomer in walking so I would prefer a good sturdy shoe for him for balance and everything. I have some carters shoes but they are a little big so I have to find something else in the mean time.

I get most of my sons shoes from Payless, they’re at a good price and they’re all super cute!

Have you tried Payless?
