    My daughter has been wearing Pedipeds since she was old enough to wear shoes. I was looking for a new pair of comfy shoes in brown to wear to preschool so I purchased these. Let me start by saying that photos do not do these shoes justice. They are so beautiful in person! The fabric portion of the shoe is actually glittery, but not the kind of glittery that sheds. I've never seen fabric like this before. It sparkles like diamonds! I normally prefer very plain shoes, but these are so cute I can't help but love them. Zappos doesn't mention it, but these shoes are also machine washable. My first impression of the fit is that they run a tad wide, but they have the Flex Fit insoles, which allow you to tailor the fit as your child's foot grows. My daughter was just measured at a local shoe store & her toe was just across the 9 mark. I ordered the 26, but I think I may have to go up to the 27 for the length. The insoles are removable, which comes in handy when trying to decide if they fit or how much room your child will have to grow. Just take them out & have your child stand on them. I love this about Pediped shoes! No more guess work. I would've waited to write my review after I made a decision on size, but these shoes are so stinkin' cute I wanted to let the world know!

    My three year old actually said, "These shoes rock! thanks for buying them for me, mommy" And they are great, she is comfortable, they are stylish, fun colors but they seem to go with most of her wardrobe. And although she had a high inset they do not cut into her feet - they are still sized for a little girl. These are great shoes!

    My seven year old absolutely loves these! They are very comfortable and they feel very well made. They are girly enough to wear with tights and a casual skirt.

    These shoes are ADORABLE! My daughter ripped the box open and put them on as soon as she got them. She said they are comfortable and pretty. This shoe goes with everything, and we love the added touch of sparkles. Will buy these again! Great shoe for an active girl! Zappos is AWESOME and customer service is always great too. Plus who doesn't like free shipping. Don't hesitate to buy these shoes, you will be very happy with this purchase.

    These are amazingly girly shoes, that are also durable and perfect for daycare. My daughter (3 yrs) only wears pink and purple and refuses to wear shoes that look like "sneakers." These are the first I found that thrill her and are also okay with me. Pediped is a favorite in our household, so I know they'll hold up for a long time.

    This is a very cute shoe, but I was hoping to use it as a school shoe for my daughter in Pre-K. There's no way it would stand up to a toddler on a playground. They are too flimsy. Perhaps my expectation was incorrect. I selected the size from the sizing chart on the Pediped website (yes, I used the correct page scaling of zero), but the size I selected is way too small. I'm returning these, hoping to find a sturdier shoe.

    We love these shoes. After trying multiple pairs of other brands, we finally found one that has great arch support, is true to fit in size and my daughter loves the sparkles. A great quality shoe. Would definitely buy again.

    I have to say these shoes are so cute and really pretty in person! The glitter and style is fantastic. That being said, my 3 year old has been wearing these shoes for about 5 weeks now and they look terrible. The glitter fabric is falling apart and the white foam underneath is now starting to stick out. I don't feel like these particular shoes are up to Pediped quality. My daughter is not exceptionally hard on shoes. Her Hoy sandals and Keens from the summer still look brand new. As much as I love, love the look of these shoes, I had to pass on my experience.

    This is a fantastic shoe. My daughter loves to wear them, and they're super cute. This was my first Pediped purchase, and I will certainly purchase more of them. They actually feel like they would be good for her little feet. They're easy on and easy off, which is very important for my 2 year old who doesn't like to sit still. Daddy even commented that he's glad he got her these shoes even though he had nothing to do with the purchase. He usually doesn't comment on clothing and shoes. I want to order them in every color. I wish there would be even more colors to choose from. I couldn't believe how quickly my order arrived from Zappos.

    Got these for my 2.5 year old daughter to replace her worn out previous pair. She has narrow feet and Pedipeds seem to fit her well. I'm a big fan of the Pedipeds because they are easy to get on, provide support and are still flexible. Like a sneaker but easier on and off. And cute too.

    Very cute shoes and photo doesn't do them justice. They are very sparkly, which my 3-year-old loves. They hold up well, are waterproof and machine washable, and my daughter can put them on herself. If they had lights, my daughter would wear them every day. These seem a little wider than other Pedipeds but we're able to cinch them up with the Velcro strap (my daughter has narrow feet).

    These are fantastic. My wee one's feet run a little wide, but these fit perfectly. I cannot say enough about Pediped quality. She has had these for months, and they still look great.

    Do not expect these to stand up to any play. Ours started to rip within 60 days. I am writing the company since they have torn so much, there are tears in over six areas. I expected more for the money. It is sad because she really liked them.

    The Pediped Dakota Flex is the perfect school shoe for my 4 year old daughter. She think they're very pretty and comfortable. In these shoes more than any others she can dance, walk on her toes, climb on the playground equipment, and run without tripping. The generously sized velcro strap helps her get them on quickly. They match all her clothes from bluejeans to twirly dresses. Best of all, the pink sparkle trim doesn't shed glitter. We are loyal Pediped customers from now on.

    These sparkly shoes go with everything! The soles are very flexible which my daughter loves. She measured at 11½ and the size 12-12½ fit perfect with the extra insole to keep her feet snug until they grow a little more. I love them!
