Being a mother to three boys, including twins, can naturally bring about many expenses. In addition to the basic necessities of shelter, food, and clothing, footwear can be a costly expenditure. When my twins started their new preschool year last August, we bought a pair of sneakers and a pair of ‘school shoes’. Within three months, the twins had outgrown their basically new shoes and went up a shoe size. Having moved to the sunshine state within the last 2 years from the D.C. area, I realized that my boys were really wearing out their shoes quickly. Warmer weather means more time outdoors to play and explore which also means the footwear is taking a harder beating. Trying to be budget conscious, I have been buying more shoes at discount retail stores but only find myself having to replace or buy new ones more frequently than ever before. Consequently, I was happy to learn more about Pediped Footwear and its award-winning and cost-saving footwear.

Pediped® footwear was founded in 2004 by Angela and Brian Edgeworth in their quest for the perfect soft-soled shoe for their first daughter. Exceptional quality, unsurpassed comfort and distinctive styling have made the award winning company the fastest-growing children’s footwear brand in the United States. Pediped footwear has been awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance for the promotion of healthy foot development, and preeminent orthopedic medical professionals, Dr. Mininder S. Kocher and Dr. Thomas W. Vorderer, deem Pediped shoes an excellent choice for parents/caregivers who want their children’s feet to develop naturally and healthily. In 2011 Earnshaw’s, the premier media resource serving the children’s market recognized pediped® with Earnshaw’s Earnie Awards for Company of the Year and Best Footwear. Pediped footwear is sold in over 3000 stores in the United States and 40 countries worldwide with an offering of more than 120 designs for boys and girls between their three lines, Originals®, Grip ‘n’ Go™ and Flex®. Originals® (soft-soled shoes for newborns to age 2), Grip ‘n’ Go™ (thin rubber-soled shoes for children ages 9 months to 3 years) and Flex® (rubber-soled shoes for children 1 to 8 years).
pediped® Originals®
First Steps: The best first shoe a child will ever wear!
pediped® Originals® are the perfect first shoe for infants and remain the best choice as children begin walking on their own. The sole was designed to closely mimic barefoot walking. It is soft and flexible and allows children to grip the floor when taking those early steps and developing their stride. The pediped® Originals® collection is available in sizes 0-24 months. Once a child is walking on their own, Originals® can remain on their feet. For those who feel they need a little more technology and support, we offer Next Steps: pediped® Grip ‘n’ Go™.
pediped® Grip ‘n’ Go
Next Steps: The perfect shoe to transition from early walking to confident walking!
Pediped® Grip ‘n’ Go™ are made with all the benefits of Originals® but with special G2 Technology™ for active toddlers. This technology consists of a specialized, soft rubber sole with rounded edges to mimic the natural shape of a child’s foot. The sole has a firm but flexible heel counter for stability and a soft toe box that allows toes to curl and grip the floor. Grip ‘n’ Go™ provides the freedom and flexibility matched only by Originals® but offers a bit more substantial shoe for the toddler on the go. The pediped® Grip ‘n’ Go™ Collection is available in sizes EU 19-23. Once a child is walking confidently, they are ready for Big Steps: pediped® Flex®.
Big Steps: The ultimate shoe for confident walkers!
Thanks to Flex Fit System shoes can be prolonged even when a child’s foot size increases a half a size (and help to save parents money on frequently buying shoes). With the Flex Fit System, each pair of Pediped Flex closed-toe shoes comes with an additional 2 millimeter insole to customize the fit of the shoe so it is just right for each child. These insoles can reduce a shoe size by almost half a size. To use, simply lift the colored insole that comes inside the shoe and place the white additional insole underneath. Afterward, be sure to replace the original insole as this will be the layer next to your child’s foot. Check the fit: shoes should fit snug, but not tight. When there is no need for the extra white insole, simply take it out and use the original insole by itself. This insole should remain in the shoe at all times to ensure comfort for your child. Great feature for parents is that Pediped shoes are machine washable, and select shoes are water-safe, feature eco-friendly material, and non-slip sole.
