We grew up paycheck to paycheck. The one thing my dad insisted on was good quality shoes for his kids. We grew up wearing StrideRites. To this day i only buy good fitting, quality shoes....expensive? Can be, but oh so worth it!!
I agree that you should find a she store tat specializes in good quality shoes. Get fitted for your foot and purchase accordingly. Get the best shoe that you can afford for your feet.
While shopping for shoes last week, i was curious about how much the StrideRites cost these days. (Childrens). I saw toddler shoes for $54. Lucky is the child whose parents value taking care of their childrens feet by instilling the value of good shoes! Thanks Dad! Your legacy lives on!
