Subject: Does anyone have a pair of boys softshoes maybe a size 11 or 12 for a young boy. I have an old pair of jazz shoes but wondered about a real pair of ID shoes. I'm looking for something not too expensive since he is young and just getting into it. At this point I could stay with the jazz shoes but he is so excited about having real ones.

[> I wouldn't put him into the heeled shoes just yet. they have to learn to get on their toes and the heels will impede that. -- have patience LOL, 09:41:00 09/16/10 Thu [1]

[> I disagree - if he wants them get them, and he will learn early to handle the heels. I don't know that I have a pair, though.. . -- Good luck!, 18:32:30 09/18/10 Sat [1]

[> Thanks for the thoughts on the heels. I thought maybe having the heels would help him realize he has to be up on them. He would be forced to be up on his toes. But maybe it would be more of a bother with them? Any advice on that would help. We opted not to buy new as they are $85! But he is dying to have them. Hoping to keep his interest in ID too. -- thanks - op, 05:59:29 09/21/10 Tue [1]

[> My son is almost out of his first ones - new ones sent off for heels.... -- MLL, 14:27:02 11/10/10 Wed [1]

His new shoes are currently getting heels at Rutherford. My ds got his the heels when he was in Adv beg. and has rapidly learned to click them - so much so that he is now PW less than 6 mo later and off to O. Don't hold him back - they are fun! Outgoing shoes might be a tad big for your use (street shoe size 1 - 2 approx) but email me and we'll see. If you decide to buy new, don't buy stiff soles or even Corrs yet - just get the capezio or bloch jazz shoes and have Rutherford add heels. The ones at the Feis are typically only wide widths and those just wouldn't work for my slim son.
