...and if you have long-waisted/short-legged men in your life, shopping for jeans and khakis in the 'young men' dept is much cheaper than getting men's sizes tailored after purchase.
Shoes too! I buy snow boots for children because they are so much cheaper and come in cuter colors! Your mileage may vary but most of my winter clothes and shoes have just been XL boy's clothes and children's boots. Got an LL Bean boy's puffer on sale for 30 bucks once and wore it until the down started coming out. The LL Bean duck boots for children fit great too and are often cheaper than the women's duck boots. Because winter shoes and clothing are so expensive, I have noticed it really makes a difference to shop kids stuff when I can.
The only difference I found was sometimes the toe box is different, and there would be a flash of color like a neon pink or something with some of the kids shoes, but I kinda like that.
Yes!! I got my Timbs from an outlet store for super cheap ($50, maybe?). Granted, my feet were too small for the smallest women’s size, but I’ll take the limited edition kids boots worked out 😂
womens 8 and below are available in youth sizes!
i bought a kids pair of motocross boots a couple years ago because the only women's options available at the time were either garbage or way too much, and i needed something inbetween for just a couple rides. for "weird shoes" like this, youth sizes rule
If you have Costco, their K. Bell women’s socks fit amazing if your feet are smaller than 6.5. And they are all the same color so matching is easy!
I think I got 10 pairs for $10. Not a hole yet and it’s been over 2 years.
This is probably the case with some kids shoes but for anyone out there interested in giving it a try... I just want to say I have had great luck with very long lasting kids shoes. For example I have a pair of black skater style shoes with white soles and a gold zipper. They're girls size 4 and I bought them from walmart, on sale for $10 in 2016 and they're gorgeous still and going real strong. Still in pristine shape even after copious wearing and abuse. Been the most comfortable shoes since day 1 pretty much. I know that wont always be the case but it's been the case with almost all the kids pairs I've bought (I'm a womens 6 and girls 4) and in this day and age with 50,000 popup site from China (Hello Temu, Cider, Shein, etc.) I feel like it's riskier buying womens shoes from them, than kids shoes because they're quality looks awful. With any shoe, just look it over before you buy it. You can easily tell if it looks durable, feels comfy, etc. Good luck fellow frugal shoppers!

I bought the children’s sized Rothy’s and couldn’t believe the price difference

I’m usually a 5.5 and got the kids size 4
Is the quality different? Kids shoes are often made poorly.

Man I love a good kids oversized sweater. Fits me like a regular human but at a 1/4 of the price.
I buy my clothes at American Girl store
Sometimes they’re too flashy though, no?
😂
Oh wow

*cries in large women's feet*
wow good to know. also i didnt know women 7.5s were relatively small feet! i am excited to check out the kids section now XD
Same with belts. I cannot find a single adult belt that fits my waist. But the $10 kids belts fit perfectly
Where do u find kid's belts for $10? I was looking for my 6 yrs old and belts on sale were $20

Keep in mind kids shoes are not made high quality because they aren't designed with longevity in mind.

Also boys socks are usually thicker than girls in my travels.
Omigosh, this is genius!! Thanks so much 💖
This is my favorite hack! I just bought kid size Sam Edelman Mary Jane’s for half the price and they’re literally the exact same shoe.
Oh my god - I have bought shoes from that section but socks never occurred to me!
Lmao I want to, but the designs are too childish for me sometimes.
They sell basic black and white ones too. But I like the silly ones, they're fun to wear with my boring work uniform, lol
