But aside from that, we also need to buy him a new set of pants, and a pair each of black school shoes and sneakers. He grows up so fast and his shoe size changes quickly, too. To limit my shoe shopping trips for my big boy, here are some rules of thumb that I follow when buying shoes for him:
1. We buy shoes in the afternoon and evening, usually after walking around the mall or after shopping for other things. This makes the feet a little bigger than usual and gives us an idea of the minimum shoe size that he should have;Since my son rides the bus service everyday, I don't think I do not need to buy him rain boots anymore.
2. We make him wear his thick school socks;
3. We make sure that he's still able to wiggle his toes inside the shoe; and,
4. We prefer quality over the price. Cheaper brands only last for a month or so.
How about you? Do you have any other shoe-buying rules that you follow?
