We got our first pair of pediped after comparing them to the Run Like Kai brand. They have a very nice leather sole on the bottom with great grip for little ones 6 months to 18 months old. I liked how they look and they're very easy to put on. The back part of the shoe is low so it can potentially be easy to slip off. My son has long but narrow feet and at 1 year old fit into the 18 month shoe fine, although it is wide for his feet so I had to pull the velcro extra tight across the tops. He walks great in them and I got them on sale on their website for about $25 including shipping.
