Usually, but they just got new shoes last week, so I won't buy another pair for a while.

Yes. That is the one new item he gets other than underwear and socks. I usually get his clothes from goodwill.

Yes! I guess my kids are kind of spoiled when it comes to that kind of thing. My daughter has bought her younger brother a pair of sneakers to start the school year, for the last 5 years (I don't know why)! It is just something she started doing with her babysitting money, then work money.

Now, I buy him a few different pairs of shoes, and sneakers. So, he probably has more spent on his feet then the rest of his body and school supplies!

I buy shoes as he needs them. About every 3-4 months. He's hard on shoes and has hip, leg and feet issues and can't wear worn out shoes or he's in pain.
