Soft-soled shoes for youth (not toddlers)

[JessicaE]

Can anyone suggest a company that makes soft soled shoes in larger sizes?

My son starts his kindergarten year at Montessori this fall, and we've always used soft-soled shoes/slippers... He just turned five, though, and I'm worried about even the largest size Bobux lasting through the year.

I would love to buy from a WAHM who makes larger sizes or will create one custom for us!  Babies Beyond Borders has a few on her site but I'm not sure if she'll be willing to custom make any in boys' designs for us.

Thanks for any suggestions.  :)

Thank you! But wowza, $42 for leather (instead of suede). I will keep them in mind if I can't find any other options. I'm happy to at least know there's something out there!

Vans slip-on sneakers are great for indoor shoes. Comfortable and easy for little ones to manage on their own. They aren't as soft-soled as slippers, but they are pretty flexible.

Oh- I understand completely.  They do (very) occasionally have good sales though- I watch for those, but they just aren't happening around here for kid shoes. 

I ordered a pair for my Mom though who had foot problems and she LOVES them.
