I bought this because the pediped shoes is a wonderful brand and usually I get the infant crib shoes.  They're so flexible and comfortable, but the this toddler shoe is the opposite.  It's hard and although I purchased a bigger size for my son, it seems like his feet don't quite fit inside of it.  It's takes a lot of "breaking in" which is impossible with a little one.  I say purchase this brand for infant shoes, but buy something else for toddlers like nike or reebok.
