Barbie Doll Shoes - Buying Guide

Barbie Doll Shoes

Much as you love the best shoes for your own outfits, so will your child enjoy a selection of the best shoes for her Barbie doll outfits. There are a number of considerations when purchasing Barbie doll shoes:

• All too often you will find Barbie Doll shoes (labeled as shoes for 11 1/2 inch fashion dolls, which is  Barbie’s size) selling at dollar or thrift type stores. The prices look too good to be true, and that’s because they are.  These shoes (sometimes packaged with other small accessories) are often of inferior quality and will last for only a few tugs onto the feet your child’s Barbie doll.
• Watch out for Barbie doll shoes (or any shoes labeled for 11 1/2 inch dolls) that are labeled “fits approximately” because you could get home and find they are simply too small.  Such a purchase is hardly worth getting back in the car and returning when you consider transportation costs and the effort involved. These kinds of small but irritating purchases can be avoided with smart online shopping.
• If you frequently watch for Barbie shoes whenever you are out shopping, try this trick to at least give you a better chance of making a purchase that will work: on a plastic keychain store discount card, mark with black marker a line to indicate the length of Barbie’s foot. Use this keychain to check the size of any potential Barbie shoes you see when you are out shopping. You will always have your keys with you, so you’ll always have an instant marker.
• Many of the cheap shoes you will see on the market for Barbie are extremely thin plastic – if possible, take a good look to check the plastic  – remember that these shoes take a lot of stress being stretched over the doll’s feet repeatedly – they need to be strong and durable.
