Customer Reviews pediped Sahara Flex (Toddler/Little Kid)

Pediped is a great go-to brand that I've been purchasing for years. For me, quality is a super important factor considering my two boys' rapidly growing feet. These shoes are light weight and sturdy. The yellow is just bright enough to be a little sassy without being overpowering.

Love these! Bought them for my 16mth old for the summer. They're a little big on him but I wanted them to fit all summer. They still stay on great and he walks great in them.

I bought these for my almost-three year old and he really seems to like them! He can even put them on himself, which something he's never been able to do before! Like many others have stated, these seem to run pretty big because I ended up exchanging them for the smaller size (guess I should have listened!).This is the most expensive pair of shoes I've ever bought for my toddler, but I feel very good about it. All in all, a great buy!

I bought these for my 2-year-old who has very wide and tall feet, which make it very difficult to find shoes that I can get his feet in. These fit well, and he seems very comfortable walking around. I like that they are closed toe and have a full heel, but a lot of room to breath. The bottom seems like a very nice memory foam, that is probably very comfortable. My son wears a 6.5-7 toddler, and I bought the 6-6.5, which fit well.

My son loved those sandals and kept saying that they were comfortable. They are washable which is a plus. Unfortunately, the little metal ring that is needed to close the shoe properly fell off after 3 months of wearing, making the sandal impossible to wear. The lack of quality was fairly disappointing.

These sandals are great! I bought them for my son after having admired them on another kid on the subway. I can't say enough good things about them - they've lasted for 2 years, the velcro stayed sticky, they're very light and flexible, the toe cover means he can play soccer in the playground (essential!), and they're very easy to get on and off. I'd previously tried keens, but these are a million times better. Just waiting for my son's favourite colour to come into stock so that we can get the next size up.

Comfortable and good width for my 2 year old

Fits well. Works well on both dry land and in water. Does NOT get too stinky, like the Keens our boys have had. These have also held up well to vigorous play.

Love these shoes! Easy on which is what i wanted and easy off. 2 year old can put them on and off by himself. He was wearing a 22 pediped tennis shoe that seemed tight, but a 22 in this shoe fits great. I think because it fits his chubby foot so well and easy on. He has no blister spots from wearing without socks either, so his foot is nice and cool.

I didn't heed the reviews about ordering a size down, and we ended up having to exchange them for one size smaller. Now that we have the correct size, they are the perfect summer sandals. I think they are about 3/4 of a size too large as opposed to a 1/2 or full size.

They are so light, flexible and comfortable. I got them for my almost 5 year old son in size 11-11.5, they are great!

Very happy with these Pediped shoes. Nice, durable and my son wears them very comfy. I bought them along with a pair of Timberland sandals, both in size 26. If you compare both, Pediped ones are bigger in my son's feet and Timberland fit perfect (maybe too perfect, don't think they will still fit on all summer). So not sure if Pediped does larger numbers or Timberland does small ones. Anyhow, I am very happy with this pair.

My very active 3 year old boy loves them, wears them for full days at daycare. So far no blisters or smelly feet. It's only been 2 weeks so I can't tell yet if they're durable. They are very cute (we got the black king blue), not bulky, flexible, do not slip on wet surfaces, and they're great for narrow feet like his! The pediped canyon flex are too wide for him. Take a full size down, I went up one size and had to return twice. He wears 9 normally and the 25 fits well. Only con - The closure band is very long and thin, I hope it will last.

We love these shoes. My son has feet that are difficult to fit, and pediped has never let us down. Their shoes are comfortable, supportive, and can really take the beating that an active little boy gives them. My son had a pair of these Sahara sandals last summer when he was 5.5 years old and they survived camping, hiking, boating, summer camps and more. They were even in such good shape that we handed them down to a cousin this summer and ordered a new pair.

After a few weeks of using these sandals, I can say that they're great thus far. They fit well, they're comfortable and sturdy, and I'm thrilled that I can wash them when needed. My 3 year old son can get them on easily by himself (size 8.5). If they hold up, I can see getting this brand again in bigger sizes.

I purchased these for my 2 yr old son, and bought the same style in a different color for my 4 yr old daughter. They are great summer sneaker-sandals. No need for socks but toes are covered and they are appropriate for running, playgrounds, etc. They run a FULL size large. I bought Sperrys for my son in an 8.5, and I had to go down to a 7 in these.

Helpful Tip: There may be a card in the box that mentions pediped's Flex system and an extra set of insoles included. Per the company's site, the insoles are NOT available for sandals. Only shoes. Just bought these, so can't comment on durability. They fit my 3yo's foot well and he said they were comfortable. (In comparison, we tried two other brands at the same time and he immediately took them off and said they hurt his feet.) They are cute shoes and very lightweight. Great for camp/daycare/school "closed-toe sandal" requirements.

My son loved these shoes they were comfy, stylish, light, and flexible. They did not irritate any part of his skin like most sandals do.

I love this shoe! Out of trying 6 different brands of sandals this was the only one that worked! My son has a very high "mid foot" top of the foot and this is the only shoe that doesn't press into his foot, the strap is long enough to strap his foot in without tension or squeezing his foot. The shoe also has an amazing sole, rubber and flexible, perfect for children just learning to walk!

Sizing is an issue. Foot measured 7.125" which according to size chart is a US 12 or EU 30. At a shoe store they recommended size US 11.5 or 12. I ordered size EU29 (US 12) Box has them labeled as EU 29 (US 12 to 12.5) I would judge the fit to be about .75 inches longer than his foot.

I bought these sandals for my nearly three year old and he has worn them every day since. They are secure enough for bike riding, running, and ball kicking, and cute enough for outings. These shoes have gotten wet, muddy, and sandy without a hitch. I can rinse them and set them in the sunshine for an hour and we're back in business. I love that they are easy enough for small hands to confidently put on! Pediped designs are excellent for foot development and this pair is worth every penny. Do buy a size smaller than you think though...they run huge!

I absolutely love these shoes! They are well made and fit wonderfully. My son is a size 8½ so I ordered a 25. They have a little bit of room for him to grow into. My 2½ year old son loves the shoes. They are very soft and flexible yet have great support. I ordered the navy with the green trim which is very pretty. Pediped is a great brand and I will be ordering several more pairs in the future.

Pedipeds in general are great, and these are no exception! My 6 yr old put them on and was instantly running and playing, telling me they were comfortable. This is his third pair of these sandals, and we will keep coming back for more. Super flexible, easy to wash, he can jump thru puddles with them, easy for him to put on and off, and they look snazzy too. They run slightly wide I think, but that's never bothered him, and he has narrow feet.
