If you have boys - shoe question.

sooosie

Where do you find sandals for him?  I am having the most impossible time finding anything in a size 12 that isn't a flip flop or what looks basically like a tennis shoe w/slits on the sides.  Help??  TIA

I've actually had the best luck with sandals at Gap.

I got some like this for DS2 last year and they held up great:

I just got him these there for $4 on clearance. 

Looks like they only go up to size 11 and the selection online for bigger boys is pretty lame.  However, I think they usually have more in the store.

My aunt got DS a pair of Buster Brown's that I think are from Famous Brand Shoes. They are similar to the second pair that mamarazzi posted. He normally wears flip flops and occasionally his Keens though.

What about Tevas?

My 4yo has the Keens that are more like Crocs (Sunports).  I love them because I can just hose them out when they get dirty or stinky.

I got DS these Keen sandals.

They are made with croc-like material which I like since he can run into the water with them and it's easy to brush sand off.

Stride Rite.  See Kai Run's Eleven brand have some too but I have not bought from them

I buy the boys Stride Rite Tucker sandals every year... nothing exciting, but they're closed toe (which we have to have for school), leather and actually look ok dressed up.

We also get the boys Keens and Crocs for sand/water play.

Both of my boys wear Crocs and my infant has Keens.
