OK, so I need to say that I in no way was trying to offend anyone with the shoe thing...
I guess my main train of thought was "If my friends who have kids have given in and bought the character shoes, will I give in too eventually when I have a child?"
I mean, I feel pretty strongly about my child wearing only Stride Rite, but I also at one time said that I was ONLY going to clothe my child in Gymboree and Baby Gap!![]()

Yes, you will eventually give in, but it won't feel like you are selling out when it happens.
FWIW, Gymboree isn't nearly as cute as it was a few years ago....you know...back before I started spending money on Disney cruises.
