Ethan was born with a size 2 foot – and now at 10 months old wears a size 5 1/2. Crazy Kid! Andrew was the same way, although his feet were WIDE so most shoes didn’t fit – but he’s now in a size 10 at age 2 1/2.
So even while the boys’ feet are gigantic – they still need comfortable shoes.
I love that PediPed makes flexible shoes for babies that aren’t otherwise accustomed to shoes. It makes it so much easier for them to be able to feel the ground with their feet through the shoes, which is what pediatricians recommend for young children!
PediPed has a three large collections of shoes – so you’re sure to find something for every wardrobe, and every child!
The Originals are made perfectly for infants and babies and have a leather soled bottom to keep the feet dry, and closely mimic barefoot walking.
Unfortunately my Ethans feet are already bigger than their largest size – so we had to go up to the Grip ‘n’ Go shoes.
We were able to sample the Grip ‘n’ Go Shoes – which are the second step in their footwear system – which are still very flexible but rubber soled shoes – and available in a much wider range of sizes. These are made for early walkers.
Then next comes the Flex line – that’s more for confident walkers. These are also available in much more size varieties.
You can rest assured that you’re buying the right size when you print out their handy sizing chart and stick to it! Going up a size of course if you plan on keeping them in that pair for a while. We typically buy just 1/2 to 1 size larger than they are measuring.
Favorite part about these shoes??
I love the wide opening for the foot – we had an especially hard time with Andrew when we tried to get shoes on his feet – it seemed like we had to SHOVE his foot into the shoe – and that it’d be all twisted inside. These shoes open so wide you’re practically setting the foot into the shoe.
They seem really comfortable for Ethan, as he doesn’t complain when they’re on his feet, and is able to stand up just the same as he can without them – so I’m sure they don’t bother him.
So when you’re looking for the next pair of shoes for your child – don’t go to Target. Seriously. Get a good QUALITY pair of shoes for your child. They’re a little pricier, but it’s your children’s feet that you’re toying with…. You wouldn’t wear that flat-bottomed shoe with zero support, would you? So why should your toddler who is just learning to walk!?
You can purchase these shoes at PediPed.com.
I have never purchased a PediPed shoe, but have always wanted to. They’ve been out of our budget. My favorites right now on the PediPed site are the Flex Adrian in Grey/Navy. How cute are these? Little sporty kid!
Visited website, and I like the Flex Caleb – Brown.

I love Pedipeds. Sophia had a pair that she wore almost everyday, right before she began walking. They’re definitely going to be used by Moreaya too! And I bought a pair at a Yard Sale that looked brand new, before I even knew if this baby was a Girl… just because I HAD to have them JUST IN CASE!
My favorite pair of Pedipeds are the Flex Adrian- Navy, Grey, Red. And WOW your boys DO have big feet! Much bigger than my son’s! 😉

I like the girls taffeta shoes.
We too are having problems finding soft soled shoes to fit my son’s 5.5w foot. His foot is so chubby on top and his ankle is so thick he won’t even fit into plain robeez and when I tried to size up he kept tripping on the extra material. The shoe salesmen can’t seem to understand why I want to keep him in a soft soled shoe and keep trying to sell me toddler shoes.
I love that pediped makes soft soled shoes in larger sizes, I just wish I could find more variety in stores so we could try them on first before buying. I love to find the Jake Originals in my sons size, they are too cute and would perfect for everyday wear!
i love the tonya flex boots
I really love these

Great review, you probably convinced many! I love pedipeds. We have a special needs child and these are one of the few shoes I can get on those fragile wide little feet! Problem being they are pretty expensive so we have only been able to splurge twice in 8 years! Praying we win him a pair of these soft little gems.
Pedipeds have always been my favorite shoes for my babies. I love the Jordyn – Navy Originals
I love the Flex
Alyssa – Fuchsia Glitter
Christopher navy.
Your kids DO have big feet!
My daughter is 4.5 and is just now going into a 10.5-11. She has been in a 10 all summer!
