Stride Rite

Let me just say for the record, that I’ve bought several pairs of shoes there for my daughter through the years, and the quality of the shoes is way better than what you get at Kohls or Target. I also like that they will measure your kid’s feet so you don’t have to try and figure that out on your own. But… Our last visit was a little bit entertaining, but not really in a good way. My mom, my sister, my daughter, and my niece and I went in to get the girls some new shoes. We got their feet measured without issue and found some lovely shoes, but the woman at the store who appeared to be in charge (who really knows about this lady) kept using her high pitched outside voice first in English and then in very bad, very condescending, definitely rude Spanish to chastise people and children in the store and walking by the store. Which was irritating and a little bit funny until we were checking out and my daughter walked by and accidentally knocked down the pole they use to pull down the metal door cage and I was hanging it back up. The next thing I know, shreiky is yelling at me first in English, then in her even louder bad rude Spanish (because apparently speaking Spanish is correlated with hearing loss) to just give her el pole. I wonder if anyone has mentioned to her that she could probably be a little less crazy and get a whole lot better results.

Just got there this morning and got 2 pairs of shoes for my daughter. It’s an outlet store and they were on sale, so it was worth it. Unfortunately good shoes for kids are expensive, but i got one pair for 15 dollars. At Target, the shoes are 13 dollars, and they are cute, but not great baby shoes. Anyway, all this to say, that those shoes are great quality and for a few bucks more you can have some stride rite.
The store is also fairly close to Carter’s so you can double shop in one trip…
