Shoe Shopping with the Duggars

Josie Duggar and Jordyn Duggar
 Josie Duggar (4) and Jordyn Duggar (5)

The Duggars love thrift stores, but when they need shoes in a specific type and color for several family members at a time, they often search for deals at shoe stores. In the video clip below, a throwback from 2014, the Duggar girls and women go shoe shopping for Jill's upcoming wedding. (There's just no way they could have walked into a second-hand shop and found all that they needed!)

We think you'll be entertained hearing various Duggars give their opinions on shoes and shoe shopping and watching the little girls make their choices.

  3. I remember this episode :) It's really something to realize that most of these girls are now married and parents themselves. Time sure flies...

  4. Oh yeah, forgot about Jill going barefoot at her wedding. Wonder if she regrets that decision.

    1. Some people consider the church sanctuary carpet holy ground and therefore appropriate to not have shoes on. Been there, done that.

    2. Jill did not wear shoes because she was afraid of tripping and falling. She said it was one less thing to worry about.

    3. The church building is just a building. When Jesus came, all those ceremonial laws about the OT Temple were fulfilled by Him. I think it's okay.

    4. Walking with bare feet..not a good idea, unless everyone has taken off their shoes. You are walking where others have walked, bringing dirt and whatever from outside.

    5. She could have chosen a low heel shoe and not been taller than Derick and still had her feet covered and protected but not be in danger of falling.

    6. Walking with bare feet where others walk with bare feet isn't a good idea either. That's how foot diseases and plantar warts get spread.

  10. I buy my shoes at the Goodwill as well. They have good shoes for a deal. Thrift stores are not as cheap as they use to be. I was shocked. Sometimes it's the Same as buying new. I still love thift stores.

    1. The prices at thrift stores have defintely gone up. Still love shopping secondhand but sometimes the prices are unreasonable.

  11. I draw the line at used shoes!! Don’t want athletes foot or fungus that could be in shoes. Don’t mind clothes etc because you can wash or dry clean them. I’d rather buy new at a low cost shoe store or discount store. Nothing pricey tho

    1. Shoes can be cleaned as well. My teenage daughter enjoys thrift shopping, and I’ve been amazed at the deals she has scored on name brand sneakers, shoes, and boots, some that barely look worn. She’s never received any kind of fungus from those purchases, only numerous compliments! Why spend more for discount cheap leather (?) shoes when you can spend less on used, higher end footwear? Then, when a certain style is desired for an event that can’t be found second-hand, I’m happy to buy new, because a majority of the time, purchases have been made well within our budget. Win-win! :)

    2. Same here! I draw the line at walking in someone else's shoes. It's just creepy and unsanitary to me.

    3. agree. It is not recommended to buy used shoes; not good for the feet.

      Delete
    4. So true, especially for children who's feet grow so fast, it is not wise to wear used shoes for that reason, ask any foot specialist if you dont want to believe.Plus as my personal reasoning, i think it is just plain gross!!!😝

  12. Personally, I think that if the bridesmaids dresses match, so should their shoes. They should at least all be the same color. When my cousin got married her bridesmaids dresses were pink/red and their shoes were silver.
