Fantastic shoes for little feet (just make sure you get size right)
I love Pediped shoes for my babies. Their Flex shoes are perfect for toddlers who are very capable walkers (I never tried their pre-walkers). The sole bends so easily and they feel like they're very cushioned and therefore comfortable to walk in and the fact that they're machine washable is amazing. But the BEST part is that they come with an extra insole. This means you get so much more for your money! Instead of dropping $35+ on shoes your kid will grow out of in a couple of months you buy a size up and put the extra insole in, it makes the shoe fit. Then, as their feet get bigger you take the insole out and the shoes still fit! It's like getting an extra shoe size for free!With this brand I would make sure to go to their site and print off their shoe measurement guide - the ranges are so different from brand to brand that it's easy to get a pair that are too small for your kid and be stuck playing the return/reorder game. I learned this the hard way but finally getting the right size has been worth it!This specific style (Adrian sneaker) is very cute on little boys and works well with casual and dress clothes, they also hold up really well to tons of scrapes and many machine washes, which is important with the cost of kid shoes.

love pedipeds!
My almost 3 year old son loves pediped shoes, and for a while there he refused to wear anything but pedipeds or stride rite shoes. We even had the brown Adrian sneaker in the grip'n go in a smaller size about a year ago. These shoes fit well, are very flexible, light weight and have good traction. They're also very easy to get on and off. They stand up well to toddler boy abuse, and they clean up easily too. And they're cute.

Seem like nice shoes, Toddler loves them! - UPDATE - Have been falling off randomly!
These are not quite as flexible as the grip and go shoes we just moved up from.I don't like how the wide velcro strap looks as much as I thought I would.That being said my toddler loves them, they fit well, and he didn't want to take them off!I'll update in a couple of months to let you know how they're holding up.***UPDATE***It's 2 months later - and I've had to take a star off.They occasionally fall off of my son's feet - mostly when he's running or getting into/out of the car.Sometimes it seems like the velcro loosens up.This doesn't seem safe and makes for messy socks!I've contacted Pediped about this problem today. Maybe it's a fluke.

Terrific shoes
I'm glad I read previous reviews and purchased one size up. My daughter needed a 5.5 size shoe and she's still mastering how to run. So I wanted to stay with a soft sole shoe. I tried Bobux but she wore through them in just 3 weeks.I looked at Umi's and Robeez and they were too expensive or they were not athletic style shoes. Finding a size 5.5 shoe is also tricky. I have plenty of shoes that claims to be a 5.5 size but they all ended up too big and falls off her feet when she runs. So I'm glad I came upon Pediped. This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I wanted a heavy duty shoe that can handle the all the running she wants PLUS keep the soles soft so she can master the heal to toe running PLUS it's a size 5.5.I purchased the size 6 to 6.5 pink one and it fits her perfectly. I can't put socks on her otherwise it might be a bit snug. Maybe super thin socks, but definitely not thick kind.I know she's happy with these shoes because she'll hand me these shoes to wear as opposed to the other pair of Bobux OR her Crocs. Yes she's only 22 months old but she what shoes makes her happy!

Great shoe, normal sizing
After reading reviews, I ordered my 3-year-old daughter a size up in this shoe (typically she is a 9/26, but I ordered the 27). They were way too big. She has a normal foot, not wide, and a 26 fit her perfectly. They are sturdy, comfortable, breathable, and easy for her to put on herself. My only complaint is that they seem a bit wide and bulky around the ankle, but these are her first sneaker, so maybe I just have to get used to a new look.

Quality and great design
While these shoes may be on the expensive side, I'm convinced they are worth the price given the overall design and durability. I have no doubt they will last for both of my boys, and that these shoes will contribute to healthy foot development and no tripping. My 2 year old is clumsy, but these shoes, because they dont have a very thick sole, are great and help keep him from falling down. The soles are not too flimsy, and not too thick - just right for running around indoor and out.

Best toddler shoes. Ever.
This is the second pair of these that I've purchased! When my son started growing out of the first pair I panicked a little but when I found that they made them in the next size up I was SO happy. These have been a great investment in the comfort and safety of my child. They are super cool looking and incredibly easy to put on a squirming toddler. He can even put them on by himself.
