Boys' Dress Shoes
Every boy needs two tones in his dress-shoe collection: brown and black. Toddlers and kids can play all day and evening (but stay strapping all the while with these dirt-disguising hues).

BLACK TIE (& TOOTSIES)
For fancy affairs, black is best. Look for sleek leather dress shoes in this essential shade. Oxfords or penny loafers add a level of timeless distinction, and yet a discrete hook-and-loop closure can be just as pulled together (and the height of convenience). Hush Puppies achieve the look with comfort and style.

browned to perfection
A little more down to earth, brown dress shoes can add stylish swagger to his step for less formal events. Stride Rite lets the season drive the choice: refined fisherman sandals for spring and summer; charming chukka boots for fall or winter; and temp-defying boat shoes to weather any weather.
