Shoes are so important for children’s feet.  Their feet are always growing and it sometimes can be hard to find the right fit.  pediped makes it easy for me to get the right fit for my kids and to get the most wear time from the shoes with the sizing tools on their site and the Flex Fit System.  The Flex Fit System allows for additional included insoles to be inserted or removed for a custom fit as your child’s foot grows.  These insoles can increase the size by as much as 1.5 inches, greatly increasing the life of the shoe. 

I recently selected the pediped Boulder Flex Waterproof hiker for my 6-year-old to review.  Right out of the box he could not wait to put them on.  With the winter we have been having these were the perfect shoe to wear to school because they were waterproof and warm.  They are flexible, comfortable and one of his favorite pairs of shoes to wear.  I have the inserts in now so he has lots of room to grow.  He is able to run and jump in them and be as active as he wants with them on and they are not stiff or cumbersome.
