How to take your kids shoe shopping – for you (the mom).

March 26, 2010 Lana

I went shopping with all five of my kids the other day.  It was a great trip…please humor me in the next few minutes.

Top ten tips to make a successful shoe-shopping trip with 5 kids.

  1. Go at naptime.
  2. Go to the bathroom as soon as you get to the store.
  3. Shop beforehand online. 
  4. Identify target, try on and buy.
  5. If kids get restless, carry them until they fall asleep.
  6. When kids fall asleep, find a clean chair and make a bed.
  7. Tell the salesman – you speak no English and these kids are the neighbors kids – if they decide to run and take off their clothes in the middle of store.
  8. Talk on the cell phone the entire time and let your kids surf on the top of all aisles.
  9. Let the sales woman feel sorry for you and let her shop for you.
  10. Bring bribery – Lots of chocolate (not for the kids) for you – you’ll need some.

Okay, I really didn’t do all of the above.  I forgot the chocolate.

I did find two really nice pair of Yellow Box flip flops.

These are both black.  Why you ask – did I buy two of the same color shoe?  Because I despise shoe shopping unless I’m with my Mom.  (Mom – I needed my shopping buddy – but I’m molding new ones.)  It will hopefully be a while before I need new shoes. 

The precious sales lady told me that my kids were really well-behaved (what Mom doesn’t love to hear those words?) and she bought my exact pair of shoes for $57 dollars more than I did.  (I got a really good deal.) {Happy DANCE!!!}

The entire trip was a true bonding experience.  Tell me if this works for you. 

Blessings to you!!!  You are loved!!!

    It’s better to shop in groups for us. The older ones together. Then take the younger ones. That way mine feel like they get a little more one on one. The other day my 4 sons and I went shopping. The two oldest went off by themselves and picked out their clothes. Then I joined them to ensure they stayed in budget. I think they really liked that – the independence with training wheels!

    And, all shopping trips should include chocolate somewhere:)

    I’m glad you had a good time. It took me a minute to realize you were joking when you said to go at nap time! This is one of my slow blonde days:)

    Oh the great memories of our shoe shopping expeditions! Did you write about the one at our old Foleys? It’s all good and I miss our time together. No one wants to go with me – they just don’t have our stamina! You are a wonderful mom!
    Love you!
