I buy cheap shoes when I know I am not going to wear them very often. Many times I will buy something that I love, but I know that I am not going to wear them only a few times. Why would I drop a ton of money on something that will not be worn very often? Usually, I wear such shoes five or six time before they are then thrown out. This happens because I don’t dress up very often, and most styles will go out of style within a year. Though I have some that are stylish no matter what, the trendy shoes die out fast. That is when I buy the cheap shoes. To do otherwise is a waste of my money.
I would not, however, recommend buying cheap shoes for your children if they are involved in sports. However, if you want a pair of shoes for special occasions, it does not hurt to get them at Payless as long as they are safe to wear. Children outgrow shoes rapidly, and I can’t imagine spending fifty dollars on a pair of shoes my daughter will wear three times before she outgrows them. That is a colossal waste of money. My rule is cheap shoes for special occasions, and expensive shoes when I know she is going to wear them quite often.
You do have to be careful with some cheap shoes though. You don’t want something that will break or hurt your child while they are wearing them. Make sure you inspect any cheap shoes you are considering to be sure they are going to be safe and snug on the feet. You don’t want to buy them sneakers that are going to fall apart within weeks, or that might not be secure while they are playing sports or riding bikes. They could get hurt that way.

Choosing comfortlable shoes
When you hear someone say “Now these are comfortable shoes ...”, you probably immediately visualize shoes worn by young children or old ladies. Somehow the phrase seems to negate any fashion sense.
Where she went wrong was in her choice of shoes. Women are vain creatures, and even the practical minded Michelle fell victim to a fashionable pair of shoes. Before leaving, she bought a designer pair of black leather boots of very good quality, with a rounded toe shaped much like the foot, with a chunky three-inch heel. She walked around the store before purchasing, to be sure the fit would make for a pair of comfortable shoes. They were very sturdy boots, so she figured they'd just take a little breaking in to fill the bill. Just a bit stiff, but there's where female vanity bit her. They looked good. Her daughter, caught up in the excitement, mimicked Mom in her choice of shoe, also choosing a boot, but with a little more pointy toe, read more...
