Consignment Shops and Resale Shops
Our God given machine of motion still explodes power in this day and age!Yet, weekend runners who barely run a tenth of a marathon are spending hundreds of dollars to buy advanced technology for their feet!Why is the man on the street spending so much on high tech shoes when marathon runners and hunters happily thrive without them?The answer is advertising and product branding.Shoemakers astutely noticed that city folks are mostly overpronators or underpronators. Hence, in an effort to capitalise on this underlying dysfunction, they design shoes that support and cushion shock. Consequently, detaching and depriving the foot from its primary role as locomotion point guard.
Overpronation, Underpronation and Neutral Feet
Anyone who knows me knows that I am an eBay junkie. Craigslist is another great resource for local purchases. Remember that you can find some really cheap prices.
So there you have some of my secrets for buying discount toddler shoes. Have a great time saving all of that money

I am a big Fan of the outlet stores. I have found some good deals. Now you really do have to watch because sometimes the prices are the same as the store. It really all depends on the store and what you are looking for. I have found some great discount toddler shoes at the Nike outlet. So hit those shoe outlets. When you go to the outlet mall you can make a whole day of it and it can be nice for the entire family. You'll get plenty of exercise walking around. Plus it will give you a chance to look for other items. LOL... since you are saving so much money from the shoes!
More than 75% of city dwellers are either overpronators or underpronators. Essentially, it means that your feet lose their ability to accommodate ground unevenness and absorption of daily walking stress. Your foot has curved in one direction and cannot return to neutral state think of it as a jammed window that cannot close.In its functional state, our feet are made to pronate; curve to suit the contours of the ground. This is how we can run side ways on slopes and edges without tumbling over. Hence, feet with full range of pronation can walk, run, jog barefooted and not injure themselves (assuming you are not silly enough to go running on broken glass).Since the foot has lost its ability to fully pronate, shoemakers generally believe that a shoe has to be padded, cushioned, gelled and reinforced. The reason being that it will make up for the feets loss of pronation range. Hence, the natural progression towards spending millions on technology research and charging you hundreds of dollars more per pair.

Now I know what some of you are thinking.... "No way
cheap ray bans, I am not buying used shoes for my kids". Trust me, I used to feel the same way. However, I realized that I was cheating myself by not even looking. Trust me sometimes you can even find Brand new with tags shoes at these stores. Not to mention that you can great play shoes. Remember I have other articles on this. You should have play shoes for your toddler to save wear and tear on the good shoes. I practice this method and it is worth it. You are only hurting yourself by not even looking. It's truly a great resource.
It can be hard to find quality shoes for your child that won't cost a fortune. Buying discounted shoes does not mean you have to buy "cheap" shoes. Shoes that are cheap can sometimes end up being poorly made. But purchasing discount shoes means you will always get the best quality. Discount shoes are marked down from a higher price.....Wow! I am all for that. Let's take a look at some of these.
I often talk about this when buying toddler clothes and shoes. You can buy shoes that are marked down or even on sale, even if they are a bigger size. Eventually the shoes will fit. Now I am referring to a size or two bigger. I do this often. I have found Nike's for $8.00 on a sale rack. I stuck them in the closet and eventually my son could wear them. I constantly find my way to the Clearance racks in every store. You can always have your eye out. Why pay full price?
