pedipeds. Make Your Kids' Feet Happy.

Punky has a new pair of pedipeds from the spring/summer line (see the above picture) and I continue to be impressed by the brand's workmanship, attention to detail, and all-out cuteness.

For those wondering what makes them worth the price, pediped has been awarded the APMA Seal of Acceptance for both its Originals and Flex lines because of the company's attention to the foot health of young children. Pedipeds include cushioned leather soles, a wide toe box and soft leather uppers.

What that means in plain English is that I personally can tell the difference between pedipeds and cheaper shoes because when my kids get new pedipeds, there is no "break in" period, when they get blisters and complain about the shoes being uncomfortable. I've noticed my daughter puts on her pedipeds before any other shoe, so that says a lot to me about its comfort. Also, our pedipeds have lasted forever, so if you have more than one child of the same sex, pedipeds are especially worth the investment.

Another plus is that pedipeds come with removable inserts that make the shoes last even longer. Start with the inserts in the shoes; when they start feeling a little snug, remove them and get even more wear before your child outgrows his shoes.

Pediped's Spring/Summer line is out now and available- Get your pedipeds while you can, because I've noticed that they sell out fast!

P.S. Are you expecting a new child soon? You can shop online for durable kids bedding and a great selection of blankets for your child. If you are expecting your first baby, make sure to research crib safety before purchasing any new or used crib sets.
