Y'know that awkward year when you're between the kids' shoes and the adult shoes? It's about size 6-1/2 for boys?
Well, we do NOT. The Boy just jumped from size 6 to size 8 -- almost overnight. I think we're moving into the Expensive Shoe Years now. It's that age from 12 to 17 where boys bankrupt their families by wearing a pair of shoes for six weeks then outgrowing them. Silver lining: he'll outgrow the shoes before they start to really stink. And just when I'd spent all my spa money on size 34A bras for The Girl. Oh well...

Did you know that most stores don't carry shoes larger than a size 12? Hopefully he'll stop growing before that.
Yeah, we made that jump last year. The part that really sucks is that there isn't a straight translation in sizes between boys and men's. So just when the boy gets all excited about wearing men's shoes, the particular pair of shoes that he wants doesn't fit because THAT brand has its own sizing system. Drives me crazy.
Those are some big feet.
