Why spend so much on kids shoes?

Tweet

Seriously, I understand the urge to buy the cute little Nike's that cost $30-$40 but honestly kids outgrow their shoes so quickly, and little kids are so rough on them. Whats the point of having shoe's they can't wear and get dirty....by the time you are finally okay with your kid wearing them in the sandbox they will have outgrown them. My daughter had her cute little Nike's that were a gift but as much as I loved them and they were adorable, I wouldn't go out and buy new ones every single time she outgrows them. And she outgrows them quickly and if she doesn't outgrow them then she wears them out playing. My daughters Croc's from last year lasted half the summer, she went through a total of 3 pair of sandals last summer. From simply playing hard in the yard, at the park and at daycare. I am not buying the cheap Walmart ones either but I refuse to spend $40 for a pair that she is going to go through in two months. Guess I don't get it. Just because you can? Is that why? Its just so pointless...
