When traveling, it is so important for the whole family to be comfortable. And what is the foundation of every traveling member? Feet! Adult travelers often consider this when selecting shoes for themselves – but often overlook that if an adult can get a blister – so can a child! How about protecting little feet that are just developing and learning to walk?
Barefoot is best and yet not a reality in our world- especially when traveling. So what do you wrap around those chunky little ankles of infants or the “just learning to walk” feet of a toddler or the very active running/climbing feet of preschoolers?
How about a shoe that is officially recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association as being beneficial for children’s growing feet yet cute enough to bring a smile to your face? pediped!
pediped shoes are beautiful shoes that are pediatrician and podiatrist approved for the developing feet of little travelers. The shoes are designed to be the “next best thing to bare feet”. Made out of premium leather, the soft flexible shoes stay in place with a Velcro closure.
The pediped Originals are for children ages 0-24 months. The cushioned leather soles surround a layer of shock-absorbing foam – these shoes look so comfy – I wish they made an adult version!
The leather soles are slip-resistant and protect feet both indoors and out. Perfect for traveling – they are available in colors and styles to fit every destination. Just a reminder – keep your child’s shoes on while flying. The floors of planes are disgustingly filthy. NEVER allow a child to walk into an airplane bathroom without shoes on. That is not water on the floor! So it really is important to wear shoes that are flexible and comfortable for the entire flight. And because feet swell when flying, the adjustable closure pediped is the perfect shoe for 37,000 feet!
The pediped Flex is the brand new line – for children ages 2-5.
These rubber soled shoes come with an additional 2mm insole – so you can customize the fit. As they grow, you can easily remove the extra insole.
The flexibility of this shoe supports the natural motion of the feet. And all that jumping and running? Supported with shock absorbing heel cushions!
pediped Flex are for children who have outgrown the originals. From size 6-12, some of these adorable shoes are bigger versions of the infant shoes. They provide great support, and check out this flexibility!
Co-Founder Angela Edgeworth is a special woman – she not only received the 2008 National Working Mother of the Year Award from the Moms in Business Network (an international organization of over 64 Million women!), she continually gives back to children. This past August, pediped raised over $50,000 for the Make A Wish Foundation- and this just confirms the brand pediped was created for the well-being of children.
Congratulation Angela and Brian! 
Pediped has been Jet With Kids Approved! as a valuable resource for traveling families!
Thank you pediped, for your contribution to the health and well-being of children!
