Ruf, totally agree!!! DS has two pairs of lace up shoes. I was lucky and found them on special for $20 each (they are Osh Kosh and were reduced from $70!). Before I got those, I had a really tough time finding a pair of pre-walkers. It was hard enough to find just a pair of plain old dunlop volleys!!

And the clothes, so little choice for boys. Walk into any baby clothes shop, one rack for boys, twenty racks for girls! Ridiculous!
