My son got a lot of compliments on his outfit. As it was cold out,I just used the shirt. The shorts would have made it too cold for him. I didn't even bother with the shoes. It doesn't make sense to me to include shoes with a halloween outfit that he can't wear outside. When we went trick or treating, he walked most of the time. If he had worn the shoes, I would have had to carry him or put him in a stroller. This would have made life really inconvenient.
