Stride Rite

My son is turning the Big 1 this week (gasp, sad cry!) and he needs walking shoes… Stride Rite is THE place for all things feet for kiddos, so off we went on a Saturday morning (mistake #1) to check out their Buy 1, Get 2^nd Pair Half Off Sale (mistake #2). It was PACKED! But that’s good right? Not when there is only two people working and we had to sign in. UGH.
But we did get two pair of shoes that Max can learn how to walk in which was the point. I was upset that I had to spend $ 48 on one pair… for little tiny shoes! Insanity! But, if they help him learn to walk that is fine. It is just frustrating b/​c I know he will be growing out of them by Thanksgiving.
The return policy is flexible however. We got our Half Off pair in a size up but she said we could exchange them in three months if he has grown out of them before he wears them, which is very nice.
Overall, I will be going back, but I will cringe every time I do. They are baby shoes, not gold, for goodness sake!
