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.

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.

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!

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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 slides are great. Very comfortable and stylish. The toe post is not supposed to be like a thong and doesn't bother me or interfere with walking. Very comfortable.

Arrived in less than 24 hours. Very cute, nicely constructed, comfortable foot bed and nice support. I have problem feet (bunions) and these straps were too snug. I'm always trying to hide the parts of my feet I don't like, but in the process, the straps sometime are uncomfortable. I usually wear a size 8 sandal and 8 1/2 closed shoe med width. The length was fine, just a little tight. If you have bunions, don't try.

The shoe pinched my pinky toe. However, my toes tend to run a little wide, so this may be a fine shoe for people with narrower feet. The sole isn't great. It's heavy and doesn't provide much arch support. In terms of appearance, it's not bad-looking for a casual wear shoe.

I found this shoe to run a little large. I wear an 8.5, but an 8 would have fit better in this shoe. I ended up returning because the toe post is actually closer to the front of the shoe than located right at the point where my toes naturally hit the shoe, causing me to pitch forward. The sole felt wonderful and I was disappointed to have to return them for overall fit.

I have bunions and toes little toes that have been broken and give me a hard time finding shoes that feel good. These feel great and are very comfortable and easy to walk in despite my awkward feet. They hide my bunions well.

Nice and comfortable sandal. Light weight. I'm a 10.5 but in sandals a 10 is usually fine. These size tens are a little longer than my foot.

I like these sandals...casual yet an upgrade from flip flops. They are a little roomy around the straps, not a tight fit but not a "sloppy" fit either. A little pricey but overall a nice sandal. I'm keepin' em'!

I tried these shoes, bought them in both brown and black. I had read reviews that they weren't really for women with a "thicker" foot and thought my thin feet would be fine and the fit would be great. Not so. My feet were too thin. The foot bed fit was right on but they were so loose, the straps didn't even touch my foot. If you have a thin foot, I would choose a different shoe. I wanted to love these sandals but it just wasn't meant to be. Sadly, had to send them back. Love Zappos service, they are awesome. Free shipping both ways, easy for the customer and as always, shipping is free!

I had ankle foot surgery and needed shoes with good support. This fit the bill perfectly, with the added benefit that they are not ugly as so many other "comfortable" shoes.

OMG there are my favorite Zories... I have been looking for them forever as I have worn my last pair out. There are so comfortable they are all I wear in the summer and I get a ton of compliments on them. I am going to order 2 to 4 pair tonight. Yippee! Merry Christmas to me.
