I adore celebrating the innate differences in children and considering that I work with them daily that is a good quality to possess. Within our home you will find an ideal example of diverse learning styles. To accompany this uniqueness, each of our girls maintains her own style. Add to this the spirited traits and it becomes easier to accept that both girlies have strong opinions with regard to what they’ll wear. Thus meaning that they usually have a pre-shopping idea of what they do/don’t want.
Such was the case when my oldest needed new shoes. We visited some of the nearby stores. My child wanted a pair of sneakers that were/or Skechers and had a color theme such as her schools colors. *hrm* I didn’t think it would be very challenging. *oops* No avail… the stores carried the wrong styles, were low on sizes, or the coloring layout wasn’t acceptable. I could tell this was one of THOSE IMPORTANT THINGS. Being rather determined myself, I let my child know that we would find them.
Online shopping is one of my favorite methods for purchasing items, and I think my family is starting to understand why. *wink* I noticed the Internet addy along the side of a shoebox and decided to give www.skechers.com a whirl. YES! They had what we were looking for, and in the size needed! Such was my introduction to the Skechers site.
The pricing is competitive with local stores, selection is superior, site navigates with ease, and you are able to see an assorted line of current Skechers shoes. You are led through the purchase procedure, receive email confirmations, and you view the precise charges. Rest assured that your order will arrive on time, the shoes are high quality – as advertised coloring, condition, style, and the billing is accurate.
Local stores still receive our shoe purchase business, but often it is sites such as this that offer the unique – GOTTA HAVE IT items. My daughter thinks Mom is kewl, and for that reason alone I assign two thumbs up toward Skechers online store.
Skechers
SKECHERS was a slang word that was popular on the streets for a kid who is super energetic and can't sit still. It defines the person who is into one thing, one day, then quickly onto something else. The name was chosen because SKECHERS brand caters to style-conscious men, women and children who are constantly seeking what's next in fashion.
This online site is wonderful for viewing current styles of Skechers shoes that are available, for mapping of local stores, or for purchasing the desired shoe style online. Often you will find unique styles that aren’t available at your local storefront. I encourage you to visit http://www.skechers.com/ for your school shoe purchase.
Understand this site isn’t limited to schoolchildren. My husband, two girls, and I like the Skechers line and have owned/currently own pairs. This online store offers:
Men’s Shoes
- Boots
- Casuals
- Sandals
- Sneakers
- 4 – Wheelers
- Sport
- Collection
Women’s Shoes
- Boots
- Casuals
- Sandals
- Sneakers
- 4 – Wheelers
- Sport
Kids Shoes
- Girls
- Boys
- 4 – Wheelers
- Fun Zone
They also offer a FAQ area, email correspondence, and other applicable customer service things.
I recommend that you take the time to register, this will allow you to receive updates from Skechers . Ordering my children shoes from the site is easy. They offer a recommendation chart that guides you toward realizing the size of shoe that your child needs. In real life we have found that most Skechers run slightly smaller than brands such as Adidas. The size chart at the online store is true to reality and that really impresses me. Although they offer a good return policy I would rather get the right fit the first time. Because we already own Skechers I was able to compare, and can tell you that you will be able to follow the chart!
Most of our shoes cost around $38.00, the shipping charge has been $5.00. I am uncertain how the shipping charge configuration is structured but will tell you that we find the charges applied are comparable to other online stores. Since there isn’t any tax charged (we live in Washington State) the comparison to purchasing in a local store is equivalent. Except the online store is more likely to have the sizes you need, and heck you can shop from the comfort of your computer chair – braless, kicked back, and ready to spend! *wink*
Overall the Skechers offers what we need for casual to semi-dressy footwear. Your order arrives in approximately 5 –10 days, the shoes are high quality, and the packaging is good.
Give them a try!
Happy Shopping!
