pediped Grip-N-Go Jake Sneaker (Toddler)

First of all, I'm from a normal family...in other words, we watch our pennies, and spending the money for pedipeds is something I thought about for a while. These shoes are worth the investment. My son wore his first pair of pedipeds (leather loafers) when he started walking. They did not wear out...he outgrew them. They were really the only shoes he had, they went with everything and they fit and wore well. I cheaped out for his last pair of shoes and bought a ten dollar pair of shoes at the local big box store. Mistake. So, I lost that ten dollars and after about a week of watching him try those shoes, and I came back to pediped. They are just better. These shoes are made so well. They are padded in the right places, the velcro adjusts to fit, the soles are flexible. If you believe in quality shoes, invest in these and buy them here on amazon. You can usually get a pair at a reasonable price. On a really vain note we get sooooo many compliments on these shoes, (and even more on his little loafers that he outgrew). You can tell immediately when you look at the shoes...they are just better. So, save the ten dollars you would spend on cheap shoes and go straight to the good stuff. I bought these for thirty dollars and have not looked back.

I love the style of these, and the fact that they are washable. However, none of that matters because they are VERY narrow. Originally ordered these elsewhere for my son but when they were too narrow so I started looking around for wides...thought I found them here, opened the box today and they look just like the others. Check the shoe and box, no mention of wide...check my order to make sure I'm not crazy; yup - I ordered the wide. Went to the Pediped website...turns out they don't make widths. WTF, Amazon. You can see in my photo how narrow these are. For comparison: on the left is a Robeez size 9-12m, the middle is the Pediped size 5, the right is a Stride Rite size 5 wide.

Great shoes they just ran really small. We've been using Pedipeds for a long time and these ran a lot smaller than the other pairs of Pedipeds we have. They are very narrow. I don't recommend for babies with wide of chubby feet.

They fit my son well and he loves them. Comfy and cute, they match everything. I like them even more than I thought I would... as I wasn't totally in love with them when I ordered them, but they were the most neutral thing Pediped had available in his size (7). The day they arrived he played in them all afternoon outside. He got them dirty but I had washed them up, let them dry in the sun and they look marvelous.

Pediped shoes are expensive but you get what you pay for. We've owned many different kinds of this brand of shoes and this specific model has a slightly snug fit when trying to put the shoes on or taking them off. Once on, they're perfect. For a new walker they give a solid foundation upon which to walk. The upside to that slightly snug fit is that the little one can not easily unintentionally take the shoes off. Great product.

The rubber-like sole of this show has separated from the leather. Disappointed and wondering if it is worth paying for another pair.

Because my kids are so tall and walked early, they needed "first walkers" to accommodate big feet full of baby fat. That seems not to exist. By the time you get to a high enough size to accommodate their feet, the manufacturers must assume they are 2 years old and ready for thicker soles. So I was excited to find this intermediate shoe in a larger size. Not as good as a first walker, but not as bad as the "real" shoes out there for preschoolers. They seemed great at first. Went on well, he seemed to have enough room in the toes, no issues with clumsiness when walking, etc. Then I took them off and was pretty saddened to find that the velcro strap had been rubbing against his chubby little shin all day, leaving a red, raw, scratched-up spot on both of his legs. Poor baby was only 10 months old. They might be perfect for an older toddler who has lost some of that baby fat (thinner shins = less rubbing?), but for us, this was pretty much a one-time wear. We did use them a couple more times with knee socks (vs. the ankle socks he had on at first), which helped, but eventually we just found a better shoe from another manufacturer.

These are great shoes. They are so cute and easy for my toddler to walk in. Other shoes cause him to trip bwcause they aren't flexible enough. I have tried several different brand of shoes but I keep coming back to pediped.

Todavía no se los he puesto, así que no puedo opinar sobre el tamaño pero son zapatos muy bien hechos y sobretodo, con la suela flexible, que es primordial.

Je cherchais une chaussure souple qui suive les mouvements du pied de mon enfant, cette marque correspond parfaitement à ma recherche. Mon fils est bien plus agile dans ces chaussures que dans les précédentes qui étaient rigides, même si je me suis trompée dans la pointure et qu'elles sont un peu grandes. J'ai été livrée en 3 jours ouvrés, bien plus rapide que prévu ! Merci !

Très bonnes chaussures
