I like to purchase quality shoes for my children that will make it through a season without falling apart and that will give them the support and flexibility that small feet need.What I don't like are shoes that are outgrown so quickly that they look like they have never been worn. I feel like I've wasted my money.
Pediped asked if they could outfit one of my children in a pair of shoes for fall. I printed out their shoe sizing guide and told them what size I thought my son would wear.
When I received the Jake Flex shoes I feared they would be too big. But we put the included extra footbed inserts into the shoes, which snugged them right up. When the shoes start getting tight with the extra insert, I can take them out and get a few more months out of them.
My son's new pediped's have taken him to the zoo, to the pumpkin patch, to school and all over town. I love the smart styling (they don't look babyish). They are also easy to get on and off with their stretchy "shoestrings" and hook and loop closure.My son's new shoes are hip, but you should see the girls' shoes. I'm a sucker for a cute red shoe!
