What makes Pediped Flex Shoes so popular:
- Flex Fit System™ allows children to adjust the fit of their shoes and
prolong the length of wear- just insert the removable insole for
approximately 1/2 size smaller fit and remove once your child's foot
grows
- High quality, fine leather and a soft and flexible rubber sole makes Flex™ the “next best thing to bare feet”
- Uses advanced technology to maximize the flexibility and absorb shock in the heel
- Pediped™ even changed the density of the rubber sole to ensure that they “Flex” to their maximum capacity
- Approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association
- For children ages 1 to 5+ years (EU sizes 20 to 29, US children’s sizes 6 to 12)
- Skid resistant
- Soft, comfortable uppers
- Roomy toe box

Sizing
To view a printable sizing chart, click here.
Selecting the correct size is important. Since each child’s foot is
unique, no two children will have the same fit for any given shoe size.
Please make sure to carefully follow our guidelines.
Have you measured your child's feet recently?
To make sure shoes are fitted correctly, both feet should be measured
every time a new pair of shoes is bought. Ideally, visit a children’s
shoe store and have them fit your child.
Try on the shoes.
If you are unsure about sizing, one way to determine the correct size
is to visit a store and try on various sizes. Over 2500 pediped™
retailers can be found on our store locator. We encourage you to visit
one of these retailers for your shoe purchase to ensure you get just
the right size.
Make sure your child is standing when you measure their feet.
Proper fitting should always be done while standing, since feet happen to spread out in this position.
Can your child wiggle their toes?
Toes should be able to wiggle quite freely and not be restricted by the shoe.

Care & Content
General Care
Below are suggested care instructions for your pediped™ footwear.
Please keep in mind these are mere suggestions, each child will wear
pediped™ shoes differently and in different situations calling for a
parents judgment for the most appropriate care and protection for the
shoes. In rare instances it may best to consult a professional dry
cleaner.
Top Grain Leather: The highest quality eco-leather

clean - Simply wipe clean with mild soap and water. Baby wipes of any
kind will also work. Polishing will help prolong the life and eliminate
unwanted marks. To protect – Polishing will help prolong their life and may remove unwanted marks, such as scuffs and scrapes.
For use on leather shoes only (not Nubuck, Suede, or Fabric), pediped
also offers a proprietary coconut oil shoe cream, which can be used to
polish and condition leather or to treat unsightly scuffs.
Fabric: Variety of textiles in many different patterns & colors
To clean - Rub gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry.

protect – Spray your NEW shoes with a non-toxic waterproof protectant.
This simple spray-on process will extend the life of your shoes and
make it easier to clean later.

To
protect - Spray a non-toxic waterproof protectant to NEW shoes, which
will extend the life of the shoes and make it easier to clean.

Our Experience
We really love Pediped shoes! They are durable, comfortable, and have flexible soles. What's especially nice is that each pair comes with extra 2mm thick insoles.
2mm may not seem like a lot, but for toddlers and children, it can really let you size up 1/2 a size. This can really save money by letting your child wear them for a longer period!
Pediped shoes do not have soles as flexible as our other soft-soled shoes (such as See Kai Run, Squeaky Shoes by Little Soles, Pedoodles, etc.). However, they are more rugged and tend to last longer, making them ideal for older toddlers and children. And keep in mind, that they are still more flexible than most other children's shoes!
Because their soles aren't quite as flexible as other shoes, we currently only carry Pedipeds in size 8 and up, for experienced runners and climbers who might need more protection and more rugged shoes.
Enjoy!
