Our Views:

I was sent a pair of pediped flex shoes for my four-year old son. The style we received was the Flex Hayden in Navy/Red. When pediped says flex, they mean flex. These are extremely flexible shoes and after he tried them on, I really could not keep him still. He told me they were great shoes for running and then quickly demonstrated his incredible speed with them. They are quality constructed and the Velcro closures make it easy to get a snug fit and lets kids who cannot tie laces yet, get their shoes on and fastened, which is a great help to mom and dad on mornings when we are running late for preschool. The shoes light athletic style is perfect for spring and summer. The shoes have a suede upper, all natural rubber sole, and features the Flex Fit System, which allows children to adjust the fit of their shoes and prolong the length of wear. These shoes have the approval of the American Podiatric Medical Association for promoting healthy foot development.
