Pediped Review: "Next Best Thing to Bare Feet!"

Finding comfortable, fashionable, and reasonably priced shoes for your child can be a challenge. I know when my first son was born my grandma rushed out and bought him two pairs of brand name gym shoes and honestly he never wore them. They were both big and clunky, and heavy! When he did finally grow into them, they were just so stiff and chunky that I never put them on him. Now my second son is just about walking and I am starting to look for shoes him, when I came across Pediped. Their shoes are awesome and you gotta love their slogan “The Next Best Thing to Bare Feet.”

• Comes in sizes 0-24 months.
• Has ultra-soft, flexible leather soles and uppers
• Podiatrist recommended.
• Velcro fasteners.

• Hand-stitched for excellent ventilation.
• Durable, non-tox leather.
• Extra cushion for ankle protection.

I received a pair of Pediped Originals in the style Ethan – Camouflage for my 12 month old, and he loves them. So far anytime I have put shoes on him, he pulls at them or yanks them off. He has been really good with these shoes and they seem to be helping him with his balance and confidence. (He is so close to walking!) The first thing I noticed about these shoes, other than the adorable box they came in, was just how flexible they really are. I can squeeze them between my fingers with no resistance and yet they are durable and strong enough for him to wear all the time, both inside and out. Now when he does doe his furniture walking his feet are gliding more smoothly rather than dragging along with him. I have also received many compliments on his shoes!

Pediped also has a shoe line for older kids, aged 1-5 years old. This line is called Flex and it also offers an ultra-soft, flexible uppers and soles. With a pigskin lined insoles to provide arch support to a flexible rubber outsole, their shoes are meant to be worn!

Whether you have a boy or girl, ages 0-5, Pediped definitely has a wide selection to choose from. I love them all! You can check out Pediped shoes online or check out their store locator to find them at a retailer nearby you. Many local children’s boutiques have them, as well as Neiman Marcus and Nordstroms.
