How much do you pay for shoes? I have a co-worker who thinks it's normal to buy her 10-month old grandson Jordans that cost $80. On top of that she said he has about 10-12 pairs of shoes. I told her she's nucking futs for spending that kind of money. She's also the extreme couponer type because she struggles to pay her bills.

If I ever have a kid, it's wearing socks only until it starts walking. Shoes are pointless until then.

20-30 as a toddler.

40-60 the last few years. Add another 50-70 for soccer cleats

Grandma's gonna grandma. Married to one. Logic and common sense went out the window when those twins came along.

30-40 for the ones we actually have to buy. Lots of hand me downs since young kids usually outgrow them before they wear them out.

Have a 1.5 yo. Most expensive was $20 and feel that is pretty much the top end price for a good while.

My four year-old usually has 4 pairs of shoes. Sneakers, sandals or boots (depending on the season), casual slip-ons, and dress shoes. The tennis shoes are the only brand I specifically seek out (Stride Rite) so in the $50 range. Everything else is almost always bought on sale and for less than $30.

I buy a lot of my 2 year old's shoes at Target. They're usually about $15-20 and I try to get them during a cartwheel promo.

I think I spent a total of $80 and bought the babies each a pair of right then shoes, two pr of grow into shoes and all were Stride Rite on Zulily.

I love Once Upon a Child and I cull through the worn out stuff and take all purchases home and wash it.

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.

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.

We have a 19 month old and his shoes have been around $20 for the more recent ones anyway. He grows too fast to really put any wear on them anyway so it's no big deal so long as they look decent.

I have an almost 2 year old, and I've never spent more than $20 on a pair of shoes. Kids grow super fast, and I will not spend that kind of money on something that she will have outgrown in a month or two.
