Boots?

I'm sitting here looking at my 10 1/2 yr old sons feet and realize they are almost as big as mine.......so this might be "his year"! I'm thinking of buying him a GOOD pair of boots....as fast as he's growing they would be mine next year.

What is a good brand that's worth the money? We usually buy his boots at Wally World, or some such place, as well....they only will last him a year. For us GOOD boots, at least use to, fall in the $50-60 dollar range and are of good materials. But it's been a while since we bought any, so my prices may be out of line. My first thought is to go to Rocky's - seconds floor, but that just won't fit in the schedule, it's a few hours away.

Where should I be looking - online is not an option for footwear for us.....we all have "odd" feet.

I don't have a reply for where to shop, but I want to say enjoy getting his hand-me-downs while it lasts!! Our son (age 12) is now in size 11 1/2 mens. My husband only wears 9 1/2! We did the same thing though - when ds was in 9 1/2 we purchased shoes thinking ahead to the hand-me-down issue.....

What will be the purpose of the boots? Work boots or dress boots such as he might wear to school?

What style, western, Wellingtons, etc.?
