Boy Shoes

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Sometimes I think Joey and Danny like sports because of the gear they get to collect. I mean, a boy’s got to have the right shoes for basketball, right? And since my guys are all signed up and slated to begin practice on November 30, we doled out a small fortune on the coolest high-tops today. The boys love their new kicks, and Danny is pretty sure his sneakers are producing a better jump already.

Momma feet in little-boy shoes

And I’m pretty sure Danny’s big brother is going to outgrow me any day now. These new shoes (I sprung for everyday footwear, too) — modeled by me — show just how similar we are in size. And that just plain scares me, because Joey is 8, and I’m the mom, and I want to be the one with bigger feet at least until, like, the third grade is over.

Boy With Big Feet

My shoe size: 7.5.
Joey’s shoe size: Same thing.
My age: 39
Joey’s age: 8.

Joey’s feet in my shoes

Joey’s size is not a huge shock to anyone who has known the boy since he was born. I mean, he did come barreling out of my body weighing 10 pounds/9 ounces, he weighed 22 pounds by the age of 6 months and he is now nearing the 5-foot mark. All kids grow up too fast. I know that. But why does my guy have to grow up so fast?

Like the shoes? Kenneth Cole Reaction — found them at Macy’s but I can’t find them online. Here’s something close, though.
