We have owned several pairs of Pediped shoes and these appear to be the poorest quality. The strap seems very thin and probably won't last long. Plus, I think these shoes run a little larger than normal (Pedipeds run large in general). That said, I am exchanging these for a smaller size because my daughter absolutely loved these shoes. She loved the sparkles. Plus, these were only $32 which is a good price for Pediped. I'm expecting only one season out of these shoes, whereas her previous shoes lasted two seasons because of the insoles. Now her younger sister is wearing her previous Pedipeds and they still look new. Love the brand, but this shoe does appear subpar.

Don't buy these! My daughter has worn these about 1-2 days/week for about 3.5 months. She is not rough on shoes and these have not held up like I would expect. The straps are fraying and even though I have cut the strings my daughter doesnt want to wear these. I didn't even get one season out of these shoes! Just not the quality I have seen with other Pediped shoes!
