inexpensive kid shoes

   My son is 6, and is presently a size 12, moving up to a size 13 shoe.
(evidently the sizing starts over after that?)

  Anyway, over the past 6 years, we have done pretty well getting shoes for
him at thrift stores, with an average cost of $3 to $4.  However, although
I've checked a LOT of stores over the last month or so, I just haven't been
able to find anything in his size, so I finally went and started looking at
retail stores.

  I am suffering sticker shock.  At most of the stores, kids shoes in his
size seem to be around $25.  That is more than I pay for my adult size
Reeboks!  Even on sale, I can't find much better than about $14 for a pair,
and that is a pair of shoes with branded advertising on it.

  So anyway, I'm thinking I'm just going to have to give up the good fight
and pay more than I pay for my shoes to get him a pair.  I really hate the
thought of getting him shoes with a bunch of advertising on there, but I
didn't see anything else in the children's shoe section at the several
stores I looked at.

  Can anyone suggest some alternatives?  Thanks!
