Childrens Doc Martin boots?

Question

My Son is now ten years old. He has worn doc martin boots since the age of four. He is currently wearing ten eyelet doc martin boots that come above his ankles to low calf level. He has seen a pair of these boots in a local shop that are 18 eyelet high and would practically go up to his knees and in his size. He is constantly on to us to buy them for him. If you were a parent in this position would you allowyour Son to have these boots.

Answer 1

My Mother questions why I bought my son (who is 18 mnths.) pink Chuck Taylors. The answer I told her: he likes them, and it's just a color. Life is too short to worry about what things look like to other people. You know why you make your decisions regarding your children. Unless cost or safety is an issue, let him have the boots he likes. You want him to be an individual, or you wouldn't have started the trend. If you're concerened about giving in, or spoiling him, have him do chores to pay them, or help around the neighborhood.

Answer 2

Personally, because my children are growing so fast and are so hard on shoes, I tend to spend less and buy more often to keep them fitting and looking good.

If you have no qualms about spending that kind of money on shoes he will outgrow quicker than ever, who are any of us to tell you differently?? Since Doc's are expensive, I would guess you have already been through the "growing out of them quickly thing" vs. the expense.

... If I give you my home address, could I get your son's hand-me-downs?? lol

Answer 3

i think it is inappropriate for a young child to have that kind of shoe.
