Customer Reviews pediped Dakota Flex (Toddler/Little Kid)

What I like about these shoes is they seem to have a bit more ankle support than most shoes like this. My 5 year old daughter seemed to be rolling inward in her previous shoes, so hoping these keep her ankles a little more straight. They're well made, my daughter likes them - would recommend as a well made shoe.

These are cute, durable and my daughter wears them almost everyday to school

My daughter loves these shoes! Feminine enough but tough enough to stand up to outdoor play for a whole year. I like that she can wear these with dresses and skirts. And the little bit of sparkle appeals to my daughter. Am buying our 2nd pair of these.

My daughter is on her 4th pair of these shoes. She loves them so much that keeps asking for same when her foot grows and stops fitting into previous size. They are really comfortable, and have held up well at least till they grow small. Great for school and for the playground.

Durable and cute! Our pair is still going strong and still looks sparkly. I like that the soles are rigged and still allow for good traction. My daughter likes that they look good with shorts and skirts. I will buy the next size up when she outgrows these. Very easy for her to put on by herself.

My 2.5 year old daughter loves these shoes! She has narrow feet and so many kids shoes are too wide for her, but these fit her feet. She can easily put them on by herself, too.

OMG. We have worn these shoes so much. 7 months of nearly daily wear, and they are still comfortable (the Mary Jane strap and removable pediped insole help them fit a LONG time) and look decent. I ran them through the washing machine even without problems. Ordering a larger size for our next pair.

My daughter started wearing pediped's as her first shoes when she began to walk. She's worn them ever since. I love that they are Recommended by podiatrists and they are cute. She picked this pair out herself because they are sparkly.

Easy for my toddler to put on herself. She had them on with no trouble after the first 2-3 times wearing them. Very cute and more sparkly then they appear in the picture which was great for my daughter. Fit seems to be great, maybe a tiny bit large but true enough to size where I wouldn't size up for size down. Good shoe and I'd buy it again.

These are my go to shoes for my 5 year old daughter. We have used them since her very first pair of shoes. She has super extra narrow feet and these seem to be the only ones that don't drive her crazy and that she can make as tight as she wants. I used them for my last daughter too. They can take a beating and still manage to not look too beat up. To make them even more comfortable there is the arch support option they include!

Very sturdy, but flexible and comfy! This is my daughter's fourth pair, and they are made so well, she outgrows them and they still look new!

These shoes are very versatile. They are sneakers and yet can be worn with skirts. The sparkle appeals to my daughter. I like that there is a more structure to them than some other sneakers; I feel this protects her feet more at day care and if we go hiking. I feel like it will keep her feet warmer than soft fabric sneakers in the cold northern winters, too. The tread is hearty and provides good grip. I also like the option to add another 2mm insole in between sizes to extend the wear. Regarding glitter coming off... there is no actual glitter on these shoes. The sparkle comes from threads woven into the fabric. My daughter wore these mostly in the spring and unfortunately now they're a little small so they weren't worn every day; however she's plenty hard on shoes and they still look almost new. Oh, and washable!!! That's awesome!

Great looking shoes that are so far holding up to my girls' rigorous use. These are great summer sneakers that provide the support of shoes but have the ventilation of sandals.

These are my toddler's favorite shoes - we are now on our fourth pair! We had a slight issue with the first pair we received (manufacturing defect) but Zappos really went above and beyond to make things right - we couldn't be happier!

This is a very cute shoe and well constructed. It is my granddaughter's favorite shoe and she loves the sparkles. I ordered the purple ones and I like the fact that these shoes are so flexible for little feet. I cannot say enough about the service that you receive from Zappos. You guys are amazing!

My six year old daughter says they are so comfortable and loves these shoes. They have good arch support and easy to get on and off with or without socks. They can go with jeans or dresses which is very versatile! I also love the inserts that can come out when they become a little too snug later on - which buys a few more months out the the shoes. I love that!

These shoes are perfect for my 2 and 1/2 year old granddaughter. They fit well and I know they are comfortable otherwise she would make a fuss about wearing them! I love the pediped brand an will continue to buy them as her feet grow.

These are the best shoes we've ever gotten for our daughter! Worth every penny. My daughter has a narrow foot & we bought them big. They came with an insert we used for a while & comfort & fit have always been good. They also hold up after excessive wear!

My daughter loves these. They are durable enough to be her P.E. Shoes but still look cute with her school clothes. This is her second pair. She outgrew her last pair but they were in good enough shape to be donated to a friend.

These are great shoes! They're the only sneaker-type shoe my daughter will wear. They wear well too, I only have to replace them when her foot grows. The store I usually buy them at stopped carrying them, so I was glad to find them on Zappos! And they were a little cheaper too!

My 7 year old daughter is very particular about the fit of shoes (sensory and fine motor skills issues). She finds these very comfortable and they are very easy to get on by herself.

My daughter loves these shoes! We needed something closed toe for school and camps, and something that could be easily slipped on and not require wearing socks. My daughter is constantly getting blisters from shoes and nothing seems to fit her feet well as she has a tall instep, but these are comfortable and very supportive. I honestly prefer the look of Keen shoes to these, but the Keen's give her blisters and cause her pain, whereas these are soft and full of cushion and provide nothing but comfort.

My daughter is now on her second pair of these shoes, and she doesn't like to wear anything else! They are great. Comfortable, excellent for play, and sparkly. Would definitely buy this style again.

Can I just say I love Pediped shoes and I love Zappos even more! These shoes are of high quality and are beautifully made. I can't say enough about them. The silver threading on the side and the flexible soles are just the ticket for my crazy, active 3 year old. I ordered her a size 9 and they fit wonderfully. My daughter continued to complain that her feet hurt, and I believe it to be the cheaper shoes she was in previous to this shoe. This shoe is roomy, breathable and fits perfectly. I love that you can take the insole out to measure the foot - gave me a good indication that the shoe would fit because sometimes you just can't manage to feel the toe once inside the shoe. I'm very happy with my purchase. Also, I ordered these on a Thursday morning and they were delivered to my door on a Friday afternoon. That's just crazy awesome. I'm a Zappos customer for life!
