lol children usually grow

That’s my entire point, dumb ass. Wait until their shoe size is done changing before spending that kind of money.

Oh. I thought you meant your child might stay permanently 12 so you can only take care of them 5 years from now and send them out shoeless in the meantime to save that kind of money.

Cheap ass

Fake news. I feel like I can't go to the mall or even the grocery store without seeing 10 teenage girls in these. And I'm in NoVA.

Um, okay, MAGAMommy, LOL. Maybe my kid just doesn't look at other people's shoes as much as you do?

DP, MAGAMommy? I also live in NoVa and have 7th grade girls, and the Tasmans are super common. It is what it is. I’m not trying to change my kids’ perspective on what they perceive as “cool” footwear, there are many other hills to die on with tween/teens that are more important. I don’t think half the posters in this thread actually have tweens/teens, they just want to fight about items deemed “popular” because they are still in their feelings about their MS/HS experiences.

Oh dear, I guess I need to explain my joke to you. People calling things "fake news" have historically been Trump supporters. Trump ==> MAGA ==> MAGAMommy

Anyway, as I said, my kid said she hasn't seen those shoes, and isn't interested in them. The last two pairs of shoes I bought her were a pair of Crocs and some Nike basketball shoes. That's not "fake news", sweetie, it's what my kid told me. Again, I guess she doesn't look at the other kids' shoes as much as you do.

In a 50 year old who doesn’t even have a teenage girl, and I’ve seen tons of middle school girls wearing them. My kids’ MS has a lot of money though so $100 shoes aren’t uncommon.

Good for you! I'll tell my kid to start looking at more shoes, I guess, so she can be more like you.

For some people that’s just not that much money. And many 7th graders feet are done growing anyway.

$150 for shoes that can maybe be worn for 6 months isn’t a lot of money?

Got it, you’re one of those exhausting people that can take a thread about Uggs for a 13 year old and make it about Trump. That’s great that your kid hasn’t seen Tasmans but multiple people here have kids that say differently. I know it hurts, but your little Larla isn’t the definitive expert such that you can get on a weird high horse about it, sweetie.

Oh no, girl, saying “fake news” in this context is just a jokey way of saying “incorrect”.

Genuinely just letting you know in case someone you know irl uses this phrase.

1. No. I’d spend $150 on a theme park ticket or concert ticket that’s over in day. We also spend that on airfare, hotel price per person, etc.

2. Very few 12 year olds outgrow shoes in 6 months. They aren’t toddlers.

I wouldn’t say almost always but there are definitely plenty of 7th grade girls whose feet (and bodies) are done growing. I’d be shocked if this is the case for my 7th grader … but then I’ve been unapologetically buying her Uggs for years. 🤷‍♀️
