Where do you buy your shoes at?

[gavinmccallister]

Do you go to Wal-mart or K-mart and other places like that where you help yourself, or do you go to department stores where someone actually measures your foot and gives you a proper fit.

The open sell stores are nice but how many people end up with the wrong fitting shoes?

RKO or TSC for barn shoes/boots, usually wally world for tennies. I have a GOOD pair of shoes that will last for years that I bought at Horse Health on sale, self serve at all places.

Where can you go for a fitting? I've had one fitting and those shoes fit worse than any other shoes I own. I paid $80 for a pair of shoes I can hardly stand to wear (they're heels and my toes slide down and cramp and my heels get blisters).

So, uh, yeah, I stick with self selecting. None of the shoes I've self-selected do that AND the most I've paid is $25.

I work at Dillard's in the children's shoe department we give professional fittings and I also help out if needed in the mens shoe department and also give men a professional fitting. If you are ever in Asheville, NC visit the Dillard's in the Asheville Mall and I will give you a professional fitting.

I go with self selecting, and my foot does suffer, but my wallet doesn't. I just can't stumach those prices! I would rather be barefoot!

Gosh the last place i bought shoes was QVC. I use to only buy tennis shoes at shoestores in the mall. I bought a cheap pair of boots at a walk in place. I only need them for parties. I just don't spend much on shoes.

Re: Where do you buy your shoes at?

for dressier shoes I will get anything from goodwill to dept store. Tennies I will buy @ Famous Footwear or Kohls. I don't spend more than $50 on any pair of shoes. Since I'm a sahm I really don't need my dress shoes anymore other than once in a while, so my tennies that hardly got worn when I was working are getting a wrk out now. & when it's warmer a $15 pair of Earth Shoe (? I think that's what they are called) sandals or generic birkenstocks due just fine.

Re: Where do you buy your shoes at?

Oh I forgot btw... I used to sell tennies for about 5 yrs. It's amazing how clueless people are. I actually was in Kohls last spring looking for a replacment pair for my 8 yr old Adidas & I was giving tips to some girls who were looking for something for Track. Then they ask me if I can find them this one in this size & they were shocked I didn't work there *LOL* The person who did had no clue.

LOL, first sign of warm weather I'm barefoot too! I only wear shoes when doing barn chores or going to town, then it's usually my 10 year old Dr. Scholls.

Yep, barefoot's for me!

Re: Where do you buy your shoes at?

i get mine sometimes at walmart, but try to go to payless shoes in arkansas. i get most shoes for 5 a pair. my daughters hello kittys were 20, most expensive pair i bought, but with her slippers, she got a 5 dollar off discount too.the cashier added the tax too before removing the discount, which made my total in the store 100 dollars, and i paid 80. that was 2 pairs for all 5 of us, slippers for all of us and two backpacks.

Re: Where do you buy your shoes at?

I buy my shoes at Walmart. I usually keep my shoes for a long time and only have a couple of different pairs

Re: Where do you buy your shoes at?

I buy my boots at harley davidson (it has been 7 years since I have needed a new pair)
I wait for the sales I just got a 200 dollar pair of boots for 50 dollars. I get my
tennis shoes at reebok outlets stores you can save up to 75% off which means I always
pay less than 25 dollars or less for a pair of shoes that I could go over to the mall and easily pay over 60 bucks for.

Re: Where do you buy your shoes at?

I buy footwear all over the place, but it they don't fit, i can't really blame the salesperson, cus only i can say whether they're comfortable or not.
