Have a 4.5 and 2.5 year old. I'd say we'd normally spend in around $25 for a pair of tennis shoes for them. We also spend around $10 for a set of sandals/crocs for them since they're easy to get on when getting them out of the car.
My daughter also has several pairs of dress shoes that my wife has bought her, all around $15-20.
We also hedge our bets at the end of summer and buy some summery shoes in the size we think they'll be in when the stores clearance them out. The Nike sandals my daughter wore most of the summer were bought at Academy for like $7.
ArticPenguin:
I am a middle aged lesbian with two children. In Texas, the GOP would love to claim I am an unfit parent and take my children.
Response when pressed for proof:
I actually have 6 links, and was getting super pissed the more info I looked up...So, look it up yourself, I am not going to fight about something I know to be true, to a person who would just as soon see me in prison or dead.
