It has a lot to do with photo shoots and the upcoming spring patterns, but I admit it: I love shoes! My own small closet will attest to this, but kids&#8217; shoes are so much more fun and more affordable than women&#8217;s options. And since it&#8217;s not quite time to show off the spring patterns yet, let&#8217;s just focus on the shoes for now, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>The boys have lots of really stylish options right now. I love desert boots and chukka boots with pants or shorts, and those wing tips (#10) would look amazing with almost anything. J. Crew has all sorts of fantastic options, but Lands&#8217; End does a bang-up job, too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/boys.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3570\" title=\"boys' shoes\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/boys-400x453.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/boys-400x453.jpg 400w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/boys-242x275.jpg 242w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/boys.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.landsend.com\/pp\/toddler-wellie-boots~206682_-1.html?bcc=y&amp;action=order_more&amp;sku_0=::CLN&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_shoes-_-boys\" target=\"_blank\">1<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.landsend.com\/pp\/boys-ryland-classic-buck-shoes~234749_-1.html?bcc=y&amp;action=order_more&amp;sku_0=::VVJ&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_shoes-_-boys\" target=\"_blank\">2<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jcrew.com\/boys_category\/shoes\/shoes\/PRDOVR~72592\/72592.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">3<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jcrew.com\/girls_category\/shoes\/sneakers\/PRDOVR~37982\/37982.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">4<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jcrew.com\/girls_category\/shoes\/boots\/PRDOVR~79394\/79394.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">5<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zappos.com\/salt-water-sandal-by-hoy-shoes-sun-san-surfer-infant-toddler-tan\" target=\"_blank\">6<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jcrew.com\/girls_category\/shoes\/sneakers\/PRDOVR~66732\/66732.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">7<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/piperlime.gap.com\/browse\/product.do?cid=27093&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=579215&amp;scid=579215002\" target=\"_blank\">8<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jcrew.com\/boys_category\/shoes\/flipflopsandsandals\/PRDOVR~37070\/37070.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">9<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jcrew.com\/girls_category\/shoes\/flatsmoccasins\/PRDOVR~67961\/67961.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">10<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course all of the boys&#8217; options would look super-stylish on a girl,  too.
