Shoes for a Yeshiva Bochur

We collected the shoes the yeshivish guys are wearing every day and for Shabbos

Yes, we had the bochurim pull this one together for us. It’s nice having them around during Bein Hazmanim!

This roundup is for the teen boys who attend more right-wing yeshivish schools, where black soles are the only way to go. Within this range, your son will probably have an idea of what’s more accepted and appropriate in his particular yeshiva.

Want to try on in person? Many prefer to try on their shoes vs. ordering online, especially when you’re trying a brand or style for the first time.

And now you can at H & S Hats and Shoe – a new His Place location devoted to shoes and hats at Seagull Square Mall in Lakewood, NJ. 

Below are some of our top shoe picks. There’s great options for both weekdays and Shabbos.

    Thank you! For those who live in Lakewood or nearby- the hands down top pick for boys and men’s shoes is Deals on Daniel/Joseph Danitti. As a mom of many boys- many with high standards i can tell you that their european made shoes far surpassed even the much higher end shoes. My son insisted on cole haan laceups this year since all the guys were wearing them. After trashing two pairs in a few months and always looking disheveled- i convinced him to try a pair o their cole haan lookalikes. It’s been months and they still look new and beautiful. He’s hooked now just like my older sons. And their prices are insane too – way under what the average place charges. They are the nicest people and sell tge full range. From little boys thru men, loafers, tie shoes, boots, shabbos…They do taps for free too. No this is not a paid advertisement- just a grateful mother who wants to pass it forward

      Agreed. Deals on Daniel is fantastic. No reason to spend more if you’re in the Lakewood area and don’t need to shop online.
