One concern with toddler boys dress shoes is that your child will grow out of them quickly. This is why the most common question we hear from our readers is “what are some toddler boy dress shoes that look nice, but don’t cost very much?”

After doing some research and careful reviews, we came across several dress shoes that are quite dressy, but also inexpensive. Being parents ourselves, we understand that these shoes may only be worn a couple of times before they are placed in a bin or given away. So we have selected three dress shoes for toddler boys that offer the best bang for your buck:

Toddler Dress Oxford Shoes (Fouger) – these dress shoes are absolutely perfect for suits and they have a sleek, polished look that is ideal for any formal get together. The sizes range from infant to toddler, and if your child can walk, they are durable enough to be walked in. These shoes run about $21.

Deer Stags Brian Slip-On – this is a simple, classic designed shoe. It doesn’t have laces, and can be easily slipped onto the child’s foot. These shoes received very good reviews from consumers, and their best feature was comfort and of course price. If your child grows out of his shoes quickly, these ones contain flex elastic that will allow you to squeeze a few more months out of them. Cost $25

Dylan Oxford Dress Shoes (Hush Puppies) – these shoes, made by a long time trusted brand, are ideal for a more casual look. Because they have a very classic feel, these shoes can be worn to school or informal parties, but they can also be used for more formal events as well. We have seen these under $30 at many stores.

Since we can’t stop our children from growing out of shoes so quickly (perhaps a book on the head?), the next best alternative is to save as much as possible on their shoes. The selections above offer quality at an affordable price, which is about all you can ask for.
