This is going to sound really dumb but i bought my daughter 5 pairs of walmart shoes for school…(on clearence) and when i posted them to a mom group showing them…they all told me that she has way too many shoes for a 6 year old and it was excessive…i didnt think it was excessive as i got them on sale…am i wrong?

Don’t worry about what other moms think. You do you, especially if they were on sale. Kids RUIN shoes so fast so its good to have extra pairs laying around anyways. My toddlers have a pair of dress shoes, a pair of “outdoor” shoes for rough play, and a regular pair of shoes to wear out in stores and stuff. Besides maybe your 6yr old will be one of those people who really loves shoes and in the future buys some extra shoes as a treat yo self or feel good thing.
I think ur just fine
Do what you want with YOUR child … Why do you even care what people are saying ?

My son has 2 pairs. He’ll be 4 tm. School and play shoes and then a nice pair for when we go out. He has water shoes as well but just for beach and water play at daycare
I really don’t think it matters, kids outgrow shoes pretty fast 
my son has quite a few. You do you momma. Don’t worry about what others think. Not their child not their business.

My 2 year old grandson has like 5-6. They r name brand and aren’t cheap. But u can never have to many shoes even at a young age
No it’s not excessive, my kids go through shoes like it’s going out of style and that’s just because they get worn and beat up quick and you got them on sale it’s not like you bought 6 pair of Nikes for her/him to start school. But no my 6 year old has a wide variety and more shoes then me boots, tennis shoes, sandals, dress shoes, heels you name it she’s got it same for my son.

My 8 yr old has like 9 or 10 pairs. 3 play shoes, the rest are his good shoes.
My 5 yr old has 7 pairs, 3 play shoes, the rest are her good shoes.
My 10 yrs old have like 10 pair lol. Only getting one pair once school starts back then he will get more once it turns cooler.
My daughter is 3, you don’t even want to know how many pairs of shoes she has

Goodness no, my 4 year old has 8 pairs of tennis shoes, 2 pairs of sandals, 1 pair of house slippers and 2 pair of water shoes. I’ve also got 5 other kids and they’ve been got just as many. I believe it’s smart to catch them on sale, you save money! Besides, it’s your kid, your money and your business. Who cares what they think, that’s your baby.

Lol To funny. People are just dumb.
I did same. I put them up. I bought all mine at Walmart too when by girl was young. They go through shoes fast because they get tore up quick with them playing and stuff.
Don’t let it bother you. It’s your kid and your choice of what and how many of something you buy for your kids.
I now after 16.5 years have my miracle son that is now almost 9 months old and people would crap their pants if they see how much I got for him.
No. Its none of their business how many you buy.
No I would like one pair for each day of the week so they can change them and not wear and tear them as fast

Walmart shoes tend to fall apart more quickly than some of the more expensive name brands so with a larger rotation of shoes it’ll likely make them last a little longer. The last time I bought sneakers for my son from Walmart for the start of school they were falling apart by mid October so he basically got about a month and a half wear out of them.

Nope !! You are NOT wrong ! Kids go through shoes so fast. This way she will have a “nice” pair of shoes for any occasion. Rotate her school shoes to make them last longer. Smart thinking !!
That mom group is not the group for you… there’s nothing wrong with what you did and clearance is where its at! Good for you…. Here just to prove youre not alone, and no these draws dont include all the shoes im to lazy to pic up.

Pfft. I don’t even mean to have the amount I have. I buy them some they have hand me downs or some given and I end up with more than I can handle and there’s nothing wrong with it. My 7 year old only has a skiff left to grow and she’ll be able to wear my shoes. I’m not looking forward to her stealing my shoes. And I like having multiple shoes bc they misplace them all the dang time and I don’t have time to go on a shoe hint in the morning since they won’t put them where I want them and will kick them all over the freaking place.
Definitely not to much. My daughter honestly has more shoes than me. Going out shoes, okay, slip ONS, jelly’s, open toe, Crocs and much more. Your fine don’t let other people make you feel bad or uncomfortable.
To me it’s a bit excessive especially because they grow so quickly. But it doesn’t matter, it’s your dollar

At 6 my daughter probably had 15 pairs but I paid maybe $2.00 a shoe. Shop clearance n lightly used.
You got a good deal. No, it’s not to many.
My 11 year old daughter has 3 new pairs of tennis shoes and 3 or 4 new pair of flip flops all from Kohl’s. I don’t see an issue.
It’s not excessive. That’s just crazy. Wait till she’s a teen. Don’t let people like that get to you. It’s your child. Who cares if they were on sale it’s your money and your child.

When my son was younger he had at least a pair of sandal type shoes, sneakers and gumboots.
Now I’m lucky if he has 1 pair that fits. I definitely think kids should have several pairs of shoes. That way there’s back up pairs if others are wet etc
I have 3 girls they all have multiple colors of boots to go with every outfit. Different styles
They have every color dress shoe.
Running shoes, light up shoes Rain boots, snow boots, . They have tons of shoes!! It’s ridiculous actually and I love it
My daughter’s favorite things in the world are her shoes and her spider man’s. This year, for her 3rd birthday, her Pop Pop bought her 7 new pairs of shoes. This girl has more shoes than everyone in the house combined.
If you wanna buy your baby 1 million pairs of shoes regaurdless of price that’s your buisness… I dont think it’s bad it’s called options and that’s a good thing school shoes play shoes dress shoes house shoes mess around in the rain shoes Mud shoes bike shoes snow shoes just because shoes!!! So what kids grow buy the shoes if you can there’s bigger things to worry about in life than the opinions of other people.

My daughter has like 18 pairs of shoes rightnow and 3 pairs in one size up. Who cares what that karen has to say…
Wow… then they don’t want to know how many my kids have…. It also depends on the climate …
Currently we have sandals, crocs, dress, rain boots, 2 pairs of tennis, flip flops, water shoes
And in the winter we will add in fuzzy crocs, winter boots, snow boots…but not have water shoes, flip flops, and sandals …
How many shoes you feel like buying n she wants is how many she should have
Some moms r too judgmental
I live in Alaska and we have a lot of shoes based on the time of year and what we are going to do that day. So in my opinion, i don’t think you can have enough shoes lol. There are 6 of us in my family and we all have a pair of snow boots, tennis shoes, gym shoes, rain/mud boots, hiking boots, dress shoes, sandals or water shoes. The bigger question is how do we store them!?

Naw I do the same thing and I have been a mom for 27 years… you have normal school shoes, gym shoes, dress shoes, winter shoes or boots depending on your location then after school shoes
I’ll never understand why people think things like that are any of their business. They’re shoes. What does it matter. You buy however many pairs you want. I typically buy 2 pairs of sneakers for my son, along with a pair of winter boots. My daughter on the other hand, has 2 pairs of sneakers, sandles, boots and dress shoes. I’d probably buy them even more if I knew they’d put them away.
Until they’re paying your bills, they need to 
My son has 1 pair of sneakers, 1 croc and one slide. He’s 11 and hate shoe shopping. My daughter is 7 and has maybe 2 or 3 more pairs
My kids has 2 to 3 pair.A pair of addidas,converse and nike
Your daughter, your rules, your house, it’s nobody’s business my 6yr old has more pairs than yours. I’m a clearance shopper too.
my 9year old daughter has 8pairs of shoes we have just about one for every out fit!
As many as you wanna buy them lol
My middle daughter was a clothes horse, she loved clothes and all the accessories! When she graduated from high school she had over 300 pairs of shoes, 75-100 purses, unbelievable amount of jewelry all because I shopped clearance only!! When she was your daughters age she had clothes shoes and purses to match also. It just depends on the child. My other girls hated shopping and only wore tennis shoes. If it makes you and your daughter happy and you can afford it, it’s no one’s business but yours.

10yr old son currently only has 1 pair of tennis shoes and 1 pair of slides. He jumped up in size and I havent gotten a chance to buy extras and snow boots I wait closer to fall/winter to buy in case his foot grows again. But he usually has 3 pairs of tennis shoes, pair of slides and pair of snow boots. When littler he had probably 5 tennis shoes,rainboots,snow boots,sandals,slides,flip flops and water shoes lol

If you can afford it, why does it matter? Excessive or not, it’s your child. I’ll be the first to admit that I excessively spend on my kids. They don’t NEED it but I want it and it’s my money so 
My 7 year old son has 12 pairs of nice shoes ans my 3 year old has 9. So if you can afford it then do it
You do what you want to do… don’t worry about other moms what they do…
You get your kids as many, or as little, as whatever you want…
if you ask my husband I buy grandsons too many shoes lol this year they each got 2 pair
