Expensive taste in shoes, cheap wallet, where to look?

[swan01]

DD is now almost 2 and I LOVE Eccos, Umis, etc. but just can't bring myself to spend that much money on shoes! My price point is more in the Pedoodles/SKR range (less than $30). Any suggestions on where I could look on-line for really good deals? Suggestions for other brands to look for on ebay, etc.?

Thanks!

Join the swap list. Lots of people are often listing new or EUC name-brand shoes at great prices. Shoe Buy is another place where you can save quite a bit. I got DD a pair of Umi shoes that were $54 at Hanna for about $38 at Shoe Buy after the coupons, etc.

Also Marshall's has had ECCOs lately in the $30 range, and Umis for $19.99, but you have to take the colors/styles/sizes on hand.

Good luck.

Best,

keep checking back at the garnethill.com sale page. I bought 2 pairs of Naturino's for like $15 each! And our local Nordstrom's rack has Elephantens, Umis, Keen, Stride Rite, etc. at excellent prices.

The key is to keep checking when you get a chance, especially after the back to school rush is over....

Ditto on Nordstrom Rack. Ours currently has Elephantens, Umis, Stride Rites, Eccos, etc. at approximately 30-50% off retail. Happy hunting!

I second checking Marshall's. I found a cute pair of Naturino's for <$30 there.

Yea, I should clarify that we are nowhere near Nordstrom's Rack but it is by far the best. Our Marshalls bites.

I just ordered a pair of Borns and a pair of Jumping Jacks for DD off zappos.com, and they were both around $30 - a great price for what (as far as I can tell) are great quality and super-cute shoes!

More votes for Nordstrom Rack and Shoebuy.

I recently got some Umis that are close to $60 elsewhere for $32-something on Shoebuy with a coupon ($15 off) and 10% member discount, plus I'll get a 10% rebate for going through fatwallet, so they should work out to less than $30.

Occasionally, Zappos has good sales on selected colors and styles, but overall, I find their prices to be on the high side.

But remember that Zappos will price match!

You might also try Stride Rite outlet if you're near one. I found a cute pair of pink tennies for $20 this weekend.
