I purchased multiple sizes of this shoe for my two sons, aged 1.5 and 3. The shoes are very well made, comfortable and durable. I particularly like the very flexible, elastic rubber soles. The boys can put them on themselves with ease, without much help. Unlike other shoes we've tried, these are gentle on the kids' skin and spacious enough around their ankles so as not to cause any blisters or restriction of movement.

Purchased this pair for my 2 year old after he out grew his stride rites in a little less than a month! I only went with stride rite last time since there are retail stores available where I can have my son fitted and try shoes on. The quality of pediped has always been good, but it seems even better...so big plus for me! This shoe is no exception, great quality and built to last. I love the memory foam inner soles and the overall look and feel of the shoe. My son refuses to take these off! Gets annoyed when we get home and try to remove them, not sure if it because he wants to leave again or they're just that comfortable! Maybe a little bit of both!
