We had a lot of firsts this week! My son's first birthday, first haircut, and first functional pair of shoes! We chose pediped because I wanted to get him a great quality first shoe for walking. Their "original" styles are for infants and "new walkers" because they mimic barefoot walking. They seem super flexible and breathable while providing a good amount of arch support.
The service in store was pretty good, although they didn't have the style we wound up choosing in his size. No worries, we love the ones we wound up with and even joined their rewards program. We already earned a few bucks towards our next purchase. They had a few cute women's sandals. Tried some on but my feet are too pregnancy swollen to even think of buying shoes right now! LOL.
Major downside is how expensive they are, but the great quality makes up for it. We obviously won't be buying him multiple pairs at one time!
