Pediped are known as one of the best quality shoes for small children thanks to their excellent construction and their nontoxic materials. These shoes were used for about a year by our son until he needed the next size up. They are the Flex Gehrig Surf line from Pediped (the box is not from the original shoes but a similar pair that we donated because they didn't hold up as well). These are made from oekotex certified synthetic materials (vegan). While these pre-owned sneakers are not perfect, they only have aesthetic problems while the velcro is in excellent condition and the soles are in great shape as well. That isn't always the case with Pediped shoes, but these ones have such thick velcro straps that they have been much more resilient. These are overall a really great deal that will last at least as long as they fit another two or three children. Find other great items in our closet and offer us a deal on a bundle. Thank you!
