Great Tips on How to Save Money Buying Discount Toddler Shoes

April 29th, 2010

It can be hard to find quality shoes for your child that won’t cost a fortune. Buying discounted shoes does not mean you have to buy “cheap” shoes. Shoes that are cheap can sometimes end up being poorly made. But purchasing discount shoes means you will always get the best quality. Discount shoes are marked down from a higher price…..Wow! I am all for that. Let’s take a look at some of these.

Sale and Clearance Racks

I often talk about this when buying toddler clothes and shoes. You can buy shoes that are marked down or even on sale, even if they are a bigger size. Eventually the shoes will fit. Now I am referring to a size or two bigger. I do this often. I have found Nike’s for $8.00 on a sale rack. I stuck them in the closet and eventually my son could wear them. I constantly find my way to the Clearance racks in every store. You can always have your eye out. Why pay full price?

* eBay and Craigslist *

Anyone who knows me knows that I am an eBay junkie. Craigslist is another great resource for local purchases. Remember that you can find some really cheap prices.

Outlet Stores and Malls

I am a big Fan of the outlet stores. I have found some good deals. Now you really do have to watch because sometimes the prices are the same as the store. It really all depends on the store and what you are looking for. I have found some great discount toddler shoes at the Nike outlet. So hit those shoe outlets. When you go to the outlet mall you can make a whole day of it and it can be nice for the entire family. You’ll get plenty of exercise walking around. Plus it will give you a chance to look for other items. LOL… since you are saving so much money from the shoes!

Consignment Shops and Resale Shops

Now I know what some of you are thinking…. “No way, I am not buying used shoes for my kids”. Trust me, I used to feel the same way. However, I realized that I was cheating myself by not even looking. Trust me sometimes you can even find Brand new with tags shoes at these stores. Not to mention that you can great play shoes. Remember I have other articles on this. You should have play shoes for your toddler to save wear and tear on the good shoes. I practice this method and it is worth it. You are only hurting yourself by not even looking. It’s truly a great resource.

So there you have some of my secrets for buying discount toddler shoes. Have a great time saving all of that money!!

Designer Bridal Shoes Dos And Don’ts

April 29th, 2010

Designer bridal shoes can give an exquisite finish to your wedding gown. Let’s face it- there’s nothing common or ordinary about your wedding day! Opting for anything designer, even something like shoes can customize your big day in a way that’s both stylish and elegant. But even if you are going for a big name, there is a right way and a wrong way to buy those wedding shoes.

Don’t Get Swayed By The Name

Most of us naturally assume that a designer label is going to mean a great product. You buy a Gucci bag without even thinking about its quality- you simply take it for granted that it’s going to be top of the line. After all, you’re paying a pretty penny for it! But designer bridal shoes are a little different. For one thing, most designers don’t specifically make bridal footwear- they might make exquisite formal shoes, some might even have stunning Cinderella pieces. But these are usually evening wear shoes- it means that most of them are designed to be worn only for a few hours. While they might look great, comfort might not always be a priority.

When choosing shoes for your wedding day, comfort and a good fit have to be the deciding factors. Unlike a formal event that might just last a few hours in the evening, a wedding can go for the whole day and a good portion of the evening. Unfortunately, the bride will have to be on her feet for most of the time. Rather than choosing designer bridal shoes, you can visit a bridal shoe specialist who will give you a customized shoe that perfectly complements your dress.

Discounts And Dyes

If you don’t plan on shelling out big bucks for your shoes but would like something special just the same, there are a number of options to choose from. Dyeable wedding shoes are not just an economical choice they have a wonderful elegance to them as well. The important thing to remember about them is that they don’t mix with moisture- if you have an outdoor wedding and the grass is wet, your dyeable footwear can turn into a runny mess.

Discount wedding shoes are another smart option, provided you find a shoe that gives you a good fit. Bridal shops are a haven for excellent wedding shoes, especially when they have a sale. Best of all, most of these shoes will be drastically marked down to make room for new inventory. You can even design your very own designer bridal shoes by jazzing up a pair of simple formals. Adding something like a white ribbon can instantly transform a pair of ordinary white shoes into elegant bridal footwear.

Always remember that your footwear should fit you well. These are shoes that you should be able to wear for a long time and still feel good in, whether they are designer bridal shoes or your own creation.
