Last weekend I told my husband I was taking my daughter shoe shopping. This was kinda the warming him up because when I usually say that he says, “What does she need new shoes for she has tons!” The truth is her feet have grown a little and I noticed her shoes getting a little tight. So we set off and I told her that most importantly we needed to purchase a good pair of shoes. You know sneaker type shoes that she could wear on gym day and run around it. I knew I would end up purchasing her another pair, we never buy just one pair of shoes. But I had NO IDEA!!!!!
I think I needed to warn myself. However to be fair I actually only spent $43 out of pocket. Our first top was Famous Footwear where I thought I was going to spend about $40 for a pair of shoes but without even realizing it Honey picked one of the cheapest pair of shoes that were on sale for $26.99. Not only that but I had a $5 coupon so my cost before taxes was $21.99. It was a great price and they really are two pair of shoes!
Next we went to Target where I had a $100 gift card. I needed to pick up a few things and I told Honey we would look at the shoes. She was specifically looking for a pair of BOBS. Instead she found these adorable leopard print ‘slips’ and they were only $14.99 (but free for me I had a gift card) so I let her get them. These are her favorite of the give because they are cute and comfy she says.
Since she still had not found the BOBS I told her we would make one more stop at Kohl’s since I had a $35 gift card. I knew that the sold BOBS. She wasn’t able to find the pair of BOBS she wanted and then eyed some cute boots! These were more than I was willing to pay at $34.99 but we held on to them anyway.
She couldn’t find the BOBS she wanted but instead found two pair of shoes that were similar to BOBS and couldn’t pick which one she liked. She always wears black shoes so I really wanted to get her the lighter pair of silver shoes. They were $14.99 each which was perfect since I had a gift card.
Now let me explain WHY she ended up with the boots. See I had a 20% off coupon but it was only good if I used my Kohl’s charge card. Turns out as long as you are charging SOME of your purchase you can use the coupon. So I was able to get 20% off of all three shoes leaving me with an out of pocket total of $20.
So at the end of the day I really did do well but seriously did she really need 5 new pair of shoes!
Oh yeah when Honey was modeling her shoes, dad didn’t want to feel left out!
So how many pairs of shoes do you own (you can estimate)?
Tori says

It is very addictive, and I’m totally digging the leopard print slips…they are such a great price too.

I can already tell my daughter will be a shoe addict. We just bought two pairs on Sunday but she wanted more.
Rhiannon Rowland says
Great deals! Love all the shoes!
Kelsey Apley says
Looks like you all got some fun looking shoes!! I am not sure you can ever have to many shoes ;-)!
Holly E says
Nice deals! I love shoe shopping and Target is a great place for great shoe finds.
Donna says
A girl after my own heart! I have over 50 pairs of shoes, easily. 🙂

I like that your daughter found a variety of different shoe styles that she can wear to different kinds of events. The black glitter ones might be fancy enough looking for formal events. The boots for cooler temperatures outdoors, perhaps. I really like her converse! The paint splatters on the outside flaps are neat! I know how buying at Kohl’s is some times, I’ve had occasions when I intended to buy only one thing and ended up buying two pairs of shoes because I got a great deal for the both!
ellen beck says
I have quite a few pairs of shoes but most are pretty old I just dont wear them out fast so they all hang around. I will not tell anyone how many pairs of garden shoes I own because it would be embarassing 🙂
heather says
Wow you did really great and they are all super cute.
Marcie W. says
I love shoe shopping with my daughters and we always go overboard, especially now that they wear school uniforms and feel shoes are a great way to express their style!
Paula @ Frosted Fingers says
You did a great job! I want some Chucks!
I probably have around 10 pair. 5 of them are gym shoes from Kim! 🙂
alicia k says
yes i agree!! i probably have around 40 pairs!!!
Julie Wood says
You really did good on getting these deals on the shoes. I have way to many pairs of sandals. I need to get more pairs of tennis shoes for exercising. I like all the deals and shoes that you got.
Raijean says
I refuse to tell you how many I have…lol! I love those Chucks and brown boots! Super cute
Theresa @ Faith and Family Reviews says
I can count on two hands my shoes: 2 pairs of sandals, running shoes, dress shoes, riding boots, winter boots, rubber boots. I am pretty sure that’s it besides a pair or two of old shoes I haven’t tossed yet but will be doing that in spring cleaning.
HilLesha says
I would hate to know how many have! I have 6 pairs of shoes coming in from DSW. No how many times I do some spring cleaning with my shoes, I always end up with more somehow. ~lol~
Sandy VanHoey says
You did some great shopping and got some nice shoes. I enjoy Target and Kohl’s so much. These are the stores I usually shop for my grandkids. Way to go
Lesa Jones says
I know I would be wild if there was one pair and I wanted them and someone reached for them LOL
sheila ressel says
I probably have 35 or so pairs of shoes but don’t wear a lot of them. I seem to stick to the same comfortable ones.
Minta Boggs says
I love shoes but my son I mean Wow! I think he wants a pair every week if he could have his way and they all have to be name brand shoes.
Tammy S says
I am a firm believer in the saying you can never have to many shoes. I worked for a footwear company for years and one of the things we learned is that the life of a shoe is 3 to 6 months. Depending on how often you wear them and what you use them for. So I have no problems what so ever buying shoes.
Michelle S says
So styling for kids; my daughter has numerous pairs, but I never “got into” that aspect of being a woman and having and endless supply of shoes. I own two pairs.
Rosie says
Wow – yiou did good! You managed to get so many bargains, it would make shoe shopping fun. It can be really a deep ditch, easy to overspend, esp when cute shoes captivate you. I’ve been switching to flats over the past few years, and I have some shoes with heels that I haven’t worn, but haven’t been able to give away or consign. I try to stay away from shoe shopping, until I have huge coupon and a sale is on!!
