Re: walking shoes
We ended up getting M a pair of Nike sneakers. DH used to sell shoes back in the day and they ended up being great. We went to go to a store in Poughkeepsie that sold Stride Rite that was recommended by many and it had closed a month before we got there
Stride rites really are great and IMO worth the price. When they first start walking the need a really good quality shoe with support and the stride rites are great for that. I would buy a few pairs and once he becomes a great walker in a few months you can start buying cheaper shoes elsewhere.
They have BOGO half off coupons everywhere....try to find one.
Ditto. All of my kiddos wear Stride Rite. Ryan just got her first pair of non-Stride Rite shoes last year right before she turned 4 (aside from dress shoes that she would only wear once or twice.)

Payless Smart Kids is actually Stride Rite's brand.
We used Pumas and DCs as first shoes for J, then converses
C- has a pair from Argentina that are from a children's shoe store there, my mom picked them up because I wanted leather white first sneakers for her.
She wears cute shoes, and converses mainly.
A was a late walker (15 months). We had bought him a pair of shoes from Target before he started walking. Once he started walking we went into Stride Rite for shoes. I agree they are expensive but we found a pair on their clearance rack for $20-25 originally $50.
You could also try Nike outlet at Woodbury. We bought A a pair at the beginning of the summer from there, only $20
Maybe this can help u.....
