pediped Jake Flat Infant & Toddler Shoes - Comfortable & Stylish First Walkers for Boys & Girls - Perfect for Indoor Play, Outdoor Adventures & Special Occasions

Our little one started walking soon after she turned 10 months old, and once she started walking, she wanted to walk everywhere... which meant we had to find a pair of shoes to protect her feet. We purchased several pairs, from soft cloth booties with rubber soles to sneakers. Those shoes all had issues - the booties were easy to get on her feet, but tended to shift so that she was walking only on part of the sole. The other shoes were harder to put on because her little feet are on the chunky side, and once she had them on she would just stand there. She wouldn't even lift up her feet to try to walk. After reading many reviews and researching baby shoes, we decided to order the Pediped shoes. I thought my husband was going to choke when he heard the price. Truthfully, it was hard to commit to spending the money but I am really happy we did. The shoes are super easy to put on her feet, and she doesn't complain at all about having them on. She walks really, really well in these. The material is supple yet feels durable. They are light and provide good support for her feet. Now that she has such a good pair of shoes, she is practically running all over the place. She already seems to be hard on shoes but these shoes are holding up nicely. This has been such a positive experience that neither my husband nor I regret spending the money for these shoes. I anticipate that she will be able to wear these for a while until it is time to get her a bigger size. The only negative is that the shoes are a little slippery on the tile floors in my house. On carpet, outdoors, in stores, etc. they are just fine.
