User Reviews
LOVE Pediped! Love the fact that extra inserts are included, and can be used to provide a snug fit, or removed to provide additional space as feet grow. Plus, my 4 year old daughter says they feel great! On top of being a hit with her, another reason I love them is, they are of great quality. She has outgrown the last pair, and they still look great. They are actually in good enough shape to pass down to her little sister; and they still look only very gently worn. They are a great investment -- just ordered a smaller pair for my baby.
Destroyed in one day! Granted my child likes to play outside a lot, but these were too beaten after one day to ever wear again. Very disappointed
These DO NOT have arch support! I bought them specifically for arch support (they claim they have arch support and in the picture looks like it has them) The arch support that is written on the insole is just that, words. They are flat in that area. I had to buy insertable arch support insoles and put them under the insert to bring up the arch. Also, the inserts move a little when she wears them as you can see in the picture. So sad, since the shoes are made really well and should last a long time, and they are very pretty. But I did expect them to have arch support as they claimed.
My daughter has been wearing Pediped shoes for a few years. They are hands down the best brand of kids shoes out there. I purchased these for a wedding. They are very pretty and versatile. She will have many uses out of them all summer long. She can walk and climb comfortably with no problems. Worth the price!
These were a gift for my granddaughter. I did not get any feedback yet as to how they fit but they look well made and very cute on her foot. The fit was good and very pleased that the size range goes from 12m to 12-1/2m . I do wish they would come in a narrow width as my granddaughter has very narrow feet. I'm sure she will be happy with these shoes. I would give these shoes 5 stars.
This shoes is really good quality. Nice arch support promote proper limb alignment, soft insole to absorb shocks from jumping, flexible shoe to promote proper foot and ankle movement while walking an running. I'm very picky with what my daughter puts on her feet since I'm a physical therapist. Totally satisfied with this one. I love how they have an extra shoe insert. Should have gotten a bigger size.
You pay for the quality, but these are by far the best brand of children's shoes for girls on the market. She is not a fan of Livie & Luca brand shoes, but absolutely adores Pediped Mary Jane. We've had a pair in our shoe line upp since she began walking (she is 3.5 now, roughly three pairs of shoes). They take a beating and are solid performers.03/19/15 updatei just order two more pair of shoes for school (brown and pink), the original shoes are still going strong and my daughter continues to adore these shoes.
These adorable shoes are well made and my granddaughter loves them. I would buy them again and again.
