pedipedOriginals Daisy Sandal (Infant)

I have written reviews for other styles of Pediped Originals, but I feel that it is valuable to have as many different opinions about kid stuff as possible.Pros:- Lots of nice air flow. My daughter runs hot so putting her in shoes that breath is very important.- Enclosed heal and tow. Toddlers (or mine, anyway) stub their toes and like to use their heals to hook when they climb.- Pretty. At 16 months, my daughter is already starting to tap into her inner princess.- Wide, soft sole. My daughter tends to walk funny in shoes that do not give her feet plenty of room.Cons:Pediped Originals aren't for every child. They are expensive and the sizing is odd. I think that they are actually designed to be big so that little feet have plenty of room to spread out. The risk to this is that because they don't have much grip and your child's foot slides around inside of them, they might not work for your kid. With my son, I found that cheap, soft rubber-soled sneakers worked much better.However, in my daughter's case, it was even more frustrating to try several different brands of less expensive shoes only to find that she just can't walk in them and would end up falling and skidding her poor little nose. (My son, even when he did fall, had much faster reflexes.) Anyhow, I would recommend trying them if you are finding that your child is rolling her foot a lot when she walks or walks with a strong pigeon toe or duck foot.

I can't tell you how much I love these shoes for my daughter. She started walking at 11 months and while she was still a bit wobbly I didn't want her to have big chunky shoes, but instead flexible, softer soles. I loved our Robeez/moccasin type shoes when she was crawling so I wanted to find something similar with a sturdier bottom. We just came back from a 2 week trip where she did quite a bit of walking each day and these shoes were perfect. The bottom is rubber, but flexible, so she could get around easily while still protecting her feet from water. They are leather so after a few wears they formed to her foot and best of all-the don't stink! You can wipe them off with a rag, they are SO easy to put on and off (yet she can't get them off her own feet), and they are adorable! For sizing, she was measured at a 3 1/2 or 4 wide in infant shoe size (she still has her baby fat pudgy feet) and I bought a 6-12 month and they fit with still a little room to grow. Will definitely be getting a pair in the next size, too!

These are great toddler shoes. The quality and workmanship on the shoe is top notch. The shoe top is completely made of leather, and the bottom is a rubber with very small nubs for traction. Very helpful shoe for kids who are learning to walk and do better being able to feel a bit of the ground beneath them rather than other shoes with a thicker sole. We receive compliments from people all the time about how cute these are--I wish they were made in bigger kids sizes. The Velcro works great to keep the shoe on, but it can also be removed by little hands when in the car or if they're trying to be helpful and remove and put away their own shoes. They are a bit pricey, but well worth it. Only issue we had was needing to put a little moleskin on the inside top, near the middle of the shoe where the thread from the flower that's sewn on top was rubbing the top of the foot.

These were the first shoes we bought for our little one after she started walking. My sister loves this brand and now I do too! Since it's summer I wanted a shoe that would stay on, but had some holes for airflow. These definitely accomplish that. It only took a few days and she figured out how to take them off herself with the velcro strap, but she only takes them off when she is still wearing them and sitting in her car seat. One thing to note is that the red color on the shoe in the picture is more of a maroon color. It wasn't a big deal to us, but definitely something to keep in mind. The other colors look exactly like they do on the screen. The shoes are super cute and we get compliments on them all the time.

Really cute shoes that are easy to put on. I like that they have a flexible sole that is still thick enough to protect her foot. Only thing is she did get a blister from wearing them barefoot. We now always wear socks, which is a bit of a bummer since we got them for summer. They did seem to run a bit long even though we printed out the size chart to measure her.

My baby's feet are very, very cute, but they are not thin, finding shoes that are comfortable for her to walk (shes been walking n running since 10 month old) have prove very difficult, they would all be either too big or tooooo tight at the top. I bought her a pair of pediped at babiesrus, they hardly have sizes or models and this is not a cheap brand for baby shoes that last about three months or so, so i was very happy to find them here! They are worth every penny, she walks with them all day, they are supper comfortable and look super cute with a lot of her outfits! Only problem is: Don't get them wet!!! They smell very bad after been wet just once, we had to use feet powder from the pharmacy after just so her feet would not smell bad after using them!

Bought these Daisy sandals in size 12-18 for my 12 month old. They fit perfect. And my idea of perfect is "roomy". There's just enough room for her to feel comfortable without her foot sliding around inside. She has other Jack and Lilly mocs shoes in the same size that are also comfy but she prefers these. I think the sole lets her use her toes to balance herself so she falls less in these shoes than all the others she owns. The design is super cute and lets in plenty of air for her sweaty little feet. Great summer sandal! Great sandal for new walkers!

These sandals are very well made, they are light-weight, and have soft leather inside and outside and a flexible, non-slippery sole that also provides good support for a new walker. My daughter has small wide feet (at 12 months, size 0-6 months is still a little large on her) and it is difficult to find small shoes that are wide enough and also have a supportive non-slippery sole for walking. These are the best option I've found after many unsuccessful attempts. It is a bonus that they are adorable and can be worn with just about any color clothing.

Absolutely adorable. I love them. Nice a soft.

very nice and comfy sandals for baby doing first steps.

great product
