When it come to spending money on clothing and accessories for our children, we can get away with a budget of “very little” and even “next to nothing” (thank you consignment!) and they still look great.

When you invest a little extra in shoes (about $30 minimum), they get better fit, better comfort and more longevity. Think about it: when you sift through that box of hand me down shoes that are still wearable, what brands do you see? Probably Stride Rite, correct? At least…
