We are a Nike Family and oh-so-very-fortunate that the shoes she wears most often are strong, structurally sound and great value for us. For dress shoes I keep my eyes open at re-sale, Target, Fred's and the TJ's/Marshall's/Ross trilogy. She doesn't wear them often so they can be a bit more frivolous (cheap?)
I am also a new fan of Keen for kids - but you didn't hear that from me.

My son loves the character shoes at Target, but for my daughter I splurge on Primigi at Nordstrom a few times a year. Her tennis shoes, I usually pick up from the Nike for less than $20.

For the kids, I rarely pay more than $10/pair. At the used clothing stores, I look all the shoes that are their size and larger to see if there's anything good there. My daughter has only ever complained about one pair of shoes I bought new and that cost $15 LOL. Never bought new again. :)

We like Keen's and converse, right now. We have splurged on fancy European shoes a few times though. Ok, more than a few times. One good thing I can say about those fancy shoes is that they hold up very well. They even survive the pass down well enough to be passed along again.
We have also bought our fair share of Adidas Sambas. E had a thing for them for a few years.
