Kids Dress Shoes in Gainesville, GA.

A 7-year-old ring bearer at a Chateau Elan wedding walks down the aisle in either the right shoes or the wrong ones. The right shoes are dark brown or black captoe oxfords matched to the groomsmen. The wrong shoes are whatever was found in a hurry the day before at a department store. We pull the boys' shoes at the same fitting as the suit on Pearl Nix Pkwy so the whole wedding party photographs cohesive at the altar.

Kids Dress Shoes in Gainesville at GA Suit Warehouse start at $65 for boys' dress shoes — black captoe oxfords, dark brown captoe oxfords — and $45 for loafers. Kids' 5-piece suit sets at $129.99 sized for ring bearers and junior groomsmen pair with the shoes at the same Saturday morning fitting. Loafers cover the less formal events — communion, graduation, Easter church, casual family weddings. Tan or dark brown loafers pair with summer suits; black loafers cover more formal events when an oxford reads too dressy. Kids grow fast, so loafers are the forgiving slip-on shape that handles a half-size jump between fittings.

The reuse math for kids is different than adults — the shoes wont last 5 years because the foot grows. For a single event like a ring bearer, communion, or graduation, $65 is roughly the cost of a rental and the shoes carry through one or two family events in the same season. We coach families toward the smaller size step (half-size up rather than full size up) so the shoes hold a fit through more than one event. Bring the boy in for the fitting; we measure on the day. Walk-ins welcome any day. Coordinated wedding party fittings include the ring bearer and junior groomsman shoe selection on the same Saturday morning the rest of the party gets fitted.
