[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is missing the point that for some families buying black shoes and pants for a single event is not affordable.  Maybe not for OP who seems more annoyed than anything, but I'm certain it is an issue for plenty of others.[/quote]

I recognize the point that buying black shoes and pants for a single event is not affordable for some.  I suspect, however, it is more affordable than this dress code suggested by a prior poster: "And FTR, think black pants and a white shirt from Target look worse than nice khakis and a dress shirt and tie. If given the option, the boys in our area would wear VV or RL."

I suspect RL is Ralph Lauren.  I have no idea what VV is, but I imagine it's more than my family wants to spend, and we are comfortably middle class.  Moreover, if worst comes to worse and the kid shows up in jeans, they would probably blend in better with black pants than khakis.

You can get boys' dress shoes at Payless for under $20 and they often run buy one get one half price sales.  I recognize that when you have no money, it's still too much.  However, in a pinch, they might get permission to wear black sneakers which would certainly blend with black dress shoes better than if everybody else was wearing Sperrys or Docksiders.  If a child can only afford one pair of shoes, I think it is far more likely to be a pair of sneakers than a pair of boat shoes.
