I am having the hardest time getting shoes for my 21 mos (yes I posted before about ankle supports). I find a pair of stride rite shoes, very orthopedic looking, closed toe, but have...
(more)
ankle support, they were also $45 which is ridiculous for a pair of shoes she'll grow out of in a few months. I also got some others which are ecco and feel nicer (softer insole, support) but do not have a closed heel (got them at a discount for $30) and finally, payless sandals, similar to the stride rites but no ankle support, they were only $15...what would you pick?

- I would do stride rite b/c you have no idea how fast her feet will grow (#1 grew fast, #2 is still in a small size). They are the best made ones and I would choose those. 3-30-2009 9:20am

- just tell him you will need 2-3 pairs of the cheap ones and only 1 pair of stride rite. 3-30-2009 9:25am
- np: Yes, you can tell him how as a toddler my son would need at least 2 pair of Target sneakers before he outgrew them b/c the quality was so crappy. 3-30-2009 9:26am
