This is a great shoe. I'm a big fan of Pediped and made the decision earlier this year to only buy Pediped. The technology is designed to grow healthy feet, while the styling helps the feet grow while still being able to use the shoe. I'm surprised other shoe companies don't send a second insert. It's so genius! This particular shoe has been getting quite a bit of wear since purchasing it before Thanksgiving. It's holding up really well. I ordered a slightly larger size, and even with the insert is still a bit too large. But the buckle strap is actually just decorative and conceals a sturdy Velcro closure, so I can pull the strap tighter, holding the shoe against her foot. This has turned out to be the perfect holiday dress shoe for my daughter.
