Sperry Oxfords at $16.73...

The Sperry Top-Sider Tevin Oxford just might convince the boys in your life that dressing up is not the end of all happiness. Comfortable, classic and just enough fun with that unexpected clay-colored sole. If the contrasting sole itself does not win him over, adding some colored shoe laces from J. Crew should do the trick! They are $4 a pair and ship for free. I suspect that, with these oxfords on his feet, he may even develop a better attitude about getting dressed up for that upcoming wedding or grandma's 80th birthday dinner. I am counting on this effect to get one of mine in a better mood about attending church each week! The price today on Endless.com for these great shoes is $16.73 (instead of $48 full price) with free shipping and free returns. They seem to have almost all sizes from 9 toddler to 5.5 big kid.  I can't come up with a reason why these shouldn't be ordered immediately before the price increases!
