We took our boys to Shoe Carnival the weekend of July 20th  for back to school shoe shopping I have to admit it was a little overwhelming since all of the little kids shoes were totally picked over however the shoes floor attendant named Jake was very helpful. He measured the boys feet and found out we could actually move up to the adult sizes so were able to find shoes and still get he great buy one get one 50 percent off special. We walked out with a pair of Nikes and a pair of Vans for under 70 bucks total. If you have kids in size 5 to 7 don't plan on being able to find anything during the special buy one get one 50 percent off sales even if you are there three weeks before the back to school rush (I started this review on my phone and forgot to log in to post it back then)
