Do you go to Nordstrom and try on shoes and if nothing works still buy a pair of shoes?

We do have our feet measured at the local mall store and usually end up at the outlet. In our case, we keep our name current on the mailing list and our local mall store sends us coupons every few months. We DO NOT ask for a fitting when the store is full of other shoppers and everyone is busy. When they send us a coupon or a fitting reminder, we go in. If there are any shoes that fit their feet and our price point, we buy. The Stride Rite in our area is very accommodating as far as fitting goes and I believe that they are just doing their best to uphold the brand whether we buy there or not. In an ideal world, I would love to be able to get their feet fitted and get a great deal, too. Alas, with my kids(3 pairs every 3 months), we continue to support Stride Rite, but need to stick to our budget also.
