Shoes that stay on, it really is a small miracle!
My 18 month old was excited to be able to review some cute new shoes from Pediped. She is 100% girl and just loves shoes and bags, but unfortunately normally she hauls her shoes around inside her cute little bag… because we can not get them to stay on her feet. She has “squishy feet”, aka adorable chubby, fat little feet that are so fun to tickle and squeeze but super hard to get into shoes.
When the package of Pediped shoes came, I opened them up then set them on the counter. She spotted them and yelled SHOES. They come in a cute box with a handle, which to her looked like a purse. So she carried them all over the house, hugging them, kissing them and giving them rides in her dolly stroller. It was clear from the start that she LOVED them and thought they were pretty. But the real test was, WILL THEY STAY ON HER FEET?
Pediped are soft and flexible which makes them easy to get on your child’s feet. Even if they have chubby little square shaped feet like my daughter. Another great thing is they open up really wide at the top to make getting your child’s foot in much easier, then you can tighten it up and make it nice and secure with the velcro strap. The soles are also super flexible which makes walking in them easier, since little ones are still trying to keep their balance and figure out how to walk/ run and get around.
I put my daughters in the fleece lined tan boots at about 3pm. She played in the ball pit, ran around the house, climbed up and down the stairs and her shoes STAYED ON HER FEET the whole time. She decided she wanted to take them off when it was time to eat dinner (about 6 pm). So for 3 hours her shoes stayed in place and didn’t fall off (which is a small miracle in itself). After dinner she wanted them back on, and wore them until bedtime. This morning the first things she did was bring me her shoes, so I could put them on. She has been wearing them all day, I am just excited we finally have shoes that will STAY ON her feet!
So we happily give these Pediped a huge thumbs up. They are comfortable, stylish, and stay on her feet!
