If your teen is like my teen they love shoes. I thought it was only women who were obsessed with shoes, but I was wrong when my son became a teen he became obsessed as any woman I ever new. I had to search around for the best price on shoes in order to fill his need for shoes.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet access, phone, phone book, friends
  1. Step 1
    Timberline boots I got really cheap for Christmas

    One of the first things to do when you're teen wants a pair of shoes in find out what kind they want. Some want Timberline, Air Jordans, Air Force Ones you name it.

  2. Step 2
     

    The second thing you need two do is get their exact shoe size. Take them to a shoe store and have them measure their feet. It would be polite to try on a pair or two while you are there so not to use the shoe salesman for nothing and check the prices of their shoes. You never know they may have a great deal on just the right pair.

  3. Step 3
     

    Next you need to do a search for the Name Brand shoes your teen is interested in. Do this first on the internet. This will take some time to check all the sites, but it can save you a lot of money in the long run. When you are doing your search for Timberline, Air Jordans, Air Force Ones or whatever kind your child has chosen be sure to search for coupons. Just key in coupons for Timberline or whatever brand it may be. Not all sites will not except coupons where others will.

  4. Step 4

    If you find a company who carries the shoes on the internet don't be afraid of overseas sellers. I have bought great Name Brand shoes from overseas sellers. The last ones I bought on the internet came from Hong Kong. They have the Official name Brand Logo's that the one's you pay twice a much from.

  5. Step 5
     

    When you are doing your search check the price with shipping and handling on several sites. The shipping and handling can add up to another sites most expensive price. It may make since to buy the more expensive shoes other than pay the expensive shipping rates from another.

  6. Step 6
     

    Another way to find cheap Name Brand shoes is to call all the local shoe stores and check their prices. Check the local phone books within you area and surrounding areas. There are lots of places that have teen shoes for today. Some of their names are: On Point Fashions and It's Fashions. These are just couples that are in North Carolina. The stores in your area may be called something different, but they are there.

  7. Step 7
     

    You can also do a search of local and stores that are close on the internet by doing a search for shoes. Example: Shoes for teens in North Carolina.

  8. Step 8
     

    Another way is his or her friends. They like to wear a pair of shoes a couple of times and they are tired of them. You can hook up with other moms and have a swap shoe night. Have all the teens bring their unwanted shoes (in good condition) over and have a bargain night. Some shoes may be extremely expensive and some not so expensive, so you may have to do some double swapping. You may do two inexpensive pair of shoes for one expensive shoe or do visa-versa: one expensive pair for two inexpensive shoes.
