When it comes to shoes…I have a serious weekness. I LOVE them. To my husbands dismay, my love for buying shoes has transfered to my two daughters. I justify buying my older daughter shoes by saying the baby will wear them one day too. Funny…I can always find a way to justify a new pair of shoes for me or them!
If you haven’t checked out Nordstrom’s kids shoe department, you should. It is almost as awesome as their women’s shoe department. They carry a wide variety of styles and price points. I think they have the best selection of athletic shoes for toddlers in the city. I know you are probably thinking their shoes are too pricey, but they have Converse Chuck Taylors for the same price as the Gap and I got my daughter a pair of adorable brown patent leather Mary Jane shoes for less that a similar pair at Stride Rite. They also have killer sales. Click here to view huge assortment of kid, toddler and baby shoes currently on sale.
Not to say there aren’t some incredible bargains and CUTE shoes on Nordstrom’s website, but that’s nothing compared to the MOTHER LOAD I found today! A friend told me that the Nordstrom Rack in Northbrook (199 Skokie Blvd., Northbrook. It is less than a mile from Northbrook Court Mall)
carried kids clothes and shoes. They do, and they are having a SALE! It was a regular bonanza of adorable clothes and shoes at ridiculously low prices. Seriously, you need to check it out. It is well worth the 20 mile drive from the city. I got my daughter a pair of Roxy tennis shoes and flip flops for under $15…yes, both pairs. The flip flops were $3 and the tennis shoes were $10!
There are three Nordstrom Rack locations in Chicago and the burbs: Northbrook (199 Skokie Blvd.), State Street (24 North State, Chicago) and Oak Brook Place (2155 West 22nd Street, Oak Brook). Unfortunately the State Street location does not carry kids clothes or shoes.
Happy shoe shopping! Pick up a pair for yourself while your at it. They had a huge selection boots on sale!
