User Reviews
This was a gift. I have bought in the past and they are made with quality material and like the ease of putting shoe on a toddler. Nice patterns and colors.
Perfect shoe! My daughter is 13 months old and started walking a month ago. These are so soft and comfortable. She loves them! She literally brings them to me to put on her so we can go outside to play! They clean up so well, just wipe down with a damp cloth and they look good as new! Fit perfect (6-12 m is what size she is in because she has little feet like her momma!) We have 3 different pairs of this brand shoe and we love them all! Easy to go on, but she never tries to take them off because they must be that comfortable! I want every color now!
These are good quality, they fit nicely, though I was concerned because my daughter's feet always seem a little too fat for structured shoes like this. We got size small (6-12 months) I think, for our 12 month old daughter. Her feet are about 4.5 inches. I think I based the size we chose off the sizing recommendations from the PediPed website (its a foggy memory now). Her toes have room to grow still but they are not so big that they keep her form practicing her steps. These seem to give her just the right amount of support without getting in her way, plus they are adorable and go with a lot of outfits. Tey also let her feet breath, which is good with the summer coming.
My daughter wears a size 4 in all of her shoes. I got a size 4 in these but they are a good bit too big. I dont mind too much because I will just put them on her when they fit. Super cute and great quality.
My daughter started walking in these shoes so I am will be saving them in her keepsake box. They are so nice in person. They actually have a sparkly color, very soft pale pink. We have been getting so many compliments on these shoes, that at one point I was getting uncomfortable at the park. They are a bit pricey but so worth it. Made of leather, super soft, extremely comfy. My daughter now brings them to me when she wants to go out. She also loves chewing on the straps b/c she is teething quite badly. We bought the next size up so we can have two pairs and she is now wearing the larger size, which has the exact same qualities.
So soft and flexible - perfect to small, soft feet as little ones are learning to walk! Not stiff at all and no pressure points to worry about. Also, much easier for new walkers to balance in than shoes that are too stiff. Love these!
These are pretty slippery (e.g. my daughter can't climd up the wooden ladder wearing them, also didn't feel comfortable on an artificial grass at her daycare yard). The velcro fastening keeps opening up. But these shoes look well-made and are good for the kids who just started walking.
Always love Pediped!! I buy these as first walker shoes for all of my kids until they become confident walkers. Wide enough for chubby feet and so comfortable. I never regret buying these shoes!!! They’re very durable and great quality
