I'm glad I read previous reviews and purchased one size up.  My daughter needed a 5.5 size shoe and she's still mastering how to run.  So I wanted to stay with a soft sole shoe.  I tried Bobux but she wore through them in just 3 weeks.

I looked at Umi's and Robeez and they were too expensive or they were not athletic style shoes.  Finding a size 5.5 shoe is also tricky.  I have plenty of shoes that claims to be a 5.5 size but they all ended up too big and falls off her feet when she runs.  So I'm glad I came upon Pediped.  This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.  I wanted a heavy duty shoe that can handle the all the running she wants PLUS keep the soles soft so she can master the heal to toe running PLUS it's a size 5.5.

I purchased the size 6 to 6.5 pink one and it fits her perfectly.  I can't put socks on her otherwise it might be a bit snug.  Maybe super thin socks, but definitely not thick kind.

I know she's happy with these shoes because she'll hand me these shoes to wear as opposed to the other pair of Bobux OR her Crocs.  Yes she's only 22 months old but she what shoes makes her happy!
