Pediped Originals- Review & Giveaway

My little one is 6 months old, and although he is of course not walking, I totally have him wearing some of the cutest baby shoes. EVER. Being cute is just the icing on the cake.. I want a shoe that is great quality, comfortable, soft-soled and promote healthy foot development! The first name that comes to mind when I think of shoes like these are Pediped. If you are a parent, chances are you have heard of this brand before! Pediped carries a huge range of great shoes from newborn up to 7 year olds! Seriously cute, seriously awesome!

Last week I told you about the Memorial Day promotion sponsored by Pediped and Operation Homefront. In case you missed it, from May 24th until Midnight Memorial Day (31st) Pediped Footwear will be offering the "buy a pair to give a pair" promotion to benefit Operation Homefront! Operation Homefront will then distribute these shoes directly to families of our service members and/or wounded warriors! Sweeeeeet....

Pediped is famous for several reasons, and it ain't just luck! Pediped shoes have been officially recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association as being beneficial for children's growing feet! That is crazy! Even more crazy?? There are over 120 cute styles to choose from- talk about feel good shopping therapy!

I knew that good shoes help maintain good feet... but I learned quite a few facts from the Pediped website that I might share with you...

"The critical development years happen from infancy and into the toddler years.

The bones in a baby’s foot are made of cartilage, the same flexible substance you find in your ears and nose.

A shoe that is too rigid or too tight can change the shape of your child’s foot.

Around 70% of foot problems come from wearing the wrong footwear or ill-fitting shoes.

A child’s feet develop until he or she is about 18 years old.

A child’s feet grow in spurts and often require new shoes every 3 to 4 months."

At Pediped, they believe that barefoot walking is best. Which is why their shoes are soft soled and flexible. The breathable upper portions and adjustable closures insure a proper and snug fit. The material is a light leather, which is perfect for a breathable, comfortable, durable, great fit. The roomy box toe shape provides plenty of wiggle room for little toes as well!

We were sent the Sydney- multi navy Original Pedipeds for review. These are absolutely precious! I have never really been a fan of sandals for boys, um, "man-dals," but these are very masculine and I simply love them! My son loves them too, and doesn't pull at them like he does with other shoes... they are that light and comfy!

The Sydney shoes are super breathable, light weight and are great for summer! All leather, velcro closure, and are oh-so-easy to take on and off! Although I personally think these colors are perfect, they are also available in chocolate brown as well!

Of course the shoes went straight for his mouth... so thank God they are made of leather, and not some synthetic material! As you can see, they arrived in a super cute box as well! This serves as a nifty place to store the shoes when not wearing... I mean, we don't have a mini closet for little man's shoes or anything! ha~!

Bottoms say Pediped, but are imprinted so no worries about babies choking on anything. These shoes are hand sewn too! You can't find many companies that still offer that! These particular shoes sell for $32, and are well worth it! 4 Available sizes- ( XS- L) from newborn to 24 months.

-My Thoughts-

Pediped makes wonderful shoes.

 My 4 year old owns a pair, and they have held up very nicely as well. The Original Line is just as impressive! Just because babies can't walk, Pediped has continued with the high quality and great shoes!

I told you the selection was incredible- literally hundreds of shoes ranging for ages newborn to 7! (yeah, they are all cute!)

Pediped offers a quick ship guarantee- if you order by 2 p.m. (PST) your order will go out that same day!

You can also browse hair clips, tights and jewelry on the site... psst.. plus a sale section, too!
