Why We Heart Pediped Shoes + Purchase with a Purpose Sale + Reader #Giveaway!

Lil’ Pea has been wearing Pediped shoes since I first stumbled upon them over three years ago. Finding quality children’s shoes is not an easy feat, and I was less than impressed with the current selection found at mass retail stores. When I stumbled upon Pediped at a local boutique, I was surprised at how flexible the shoe was, and the amount of padding in the bottom of the shoe. I could literally squish the entire shoe in the palm of my hand, and the styles were so stinkin’ cute that I had to purchase a pair just to try them out. To be quite honest with you, I think I would have purchased a pair for myself if they were available in my size!

Since then, we have purchased multiple pairs of Pediped shoes each year and they still remain my favorite shoe company for kids. We have tried out many different shoe companies here at “Deal”ectable Mommies and none quite compare to the multiple features that Pediped offers.

Why Choose Pediped?

“From its inception, pediped has designed footwear to promote healthy foot development. Our mantra has always been comfort, quality and style, in that order. This is why pediped® shoes were among the first children’s footwear to be awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance for promoting healthy foot development. You can rest assured that pediped is a footwear company that cares about the health and well being of your child’s growing feet.”

The newest addition to our Pediped line-up, is the all new Amazon from the Pediped Flex line. This particular pair of shoes actually went above and beyond my expectations, featuring eco-friendly material, and they are even water safe, and machine washable!  We took these kicks with us on our recent vacation to sunny San Diego, and we did a lot of walking.  It was so nice to have a stylish shoe that was comfortable for her, and I wasn’t worried that her feet were hot, and better yet, she could trek right through the water in these shoes, and I could let her!
