 My Thoughts

 When it comes to shoes for baby, toddles, and kids, there is one company I always turn to first for the best in fashion and durability. That company is Pediped. My daughter has been wearing them since she was an infant, and now that's she's heading to preschool, of course they were my first choice. Their new line offers all you need to complete any fall or winter look whether you have boys, girls or both. They have a wide selection to choose from fall winter, boots, mary janes, athletic styles, and cold weather boots.  

Pediped shoes are unique for many reasons. First, their are a much higher quality than shoes you can find in most department stores. I had of white ones that my baby wore almost every day since for a year, and they were still in perfect condition when I handed them down to a friend. Then there are the styles.  The soles are thick so they are long lasting,  and they are designed to fit growing toes so you can get lots of use out of them. They have dozens of options, and each is better than the next.  But the most important feature is how comfortable they are. They are also made to last even though kids grow quickly.  Each pair of shoes comes with a set of inserts that can be adjusted as kids grow so you can get more bang for your buck.

 In addition to their shoes, Pediped also have a nice selection of tights and socks and hair clips. They are really a one-stop shop for all your child's accessory needs. They even have gift cards which would make a great gift for birthdays and Christmas. To keep up with the latest sales and promos, follow Pediped on twitter or become their fan on Face Book.  You can also sign up for their newsletter. However you do it, this is a company you'll want to visit often if you have any little ones. You won't find quality shoes with so many adorable styles to choose from anywhere else.
