Customer Reviews pediped Sahara Flex (Toddler/Little Kid)

My oldest son had a hard time finding a pair of sandals he liked. He finally outgrew the one pair we'd been able to get him to wear and he needed new comfy, waterproof and supportive sandals for a trip to Disney World. We tried Keen sandals on him but he felt they rubbed on the top. Once he tried the Pedipeds on, he was in love. He has worn them day in and day out since we bought them and has declared them the most comfy sandals ever. :)

Was looking for an alternative to Keens -- something more flexible and lighter weight. These are perfect! And, these don't have the smelly shoe problem that Keens seem to have with little boys.

Awesome, well-made sandals for my 19 month old. He wears them daily and seems very comfortable and can walk, run, and climb well in them. They're super cute, too!

These are great so far! After about a month, we have no complaints. With my son's last pair of sandals we had a terrible smell problem, but these don't smell at all yet. They look cute with every outfit, and they stay on his feet well--much better than his sneakers.

Great sandal for kids. They can run in them, just like in sneakers. Have good support. Can wear them in the water. Just toss in the washer when they need cleaning. Can think of no negatives. Order smaller size than they wear in sneakers. Second year we have bought these.

We love Pediped. They are just worth every cent you pay. If you are looking for shoes that are made well, have great soles, are comfortable, and are easy to put on and off and easy to clean. Then these are the shoes that you want to purchase for your child. I love how the sandals are closed in the front which protects my kid's toes but they are still airy and comfortable. They are great shoes for the summer and if they start to smell because your child has stinky feet just put them in the washer/dryer and they come out nice and clean.

This is our second pair of these. My son wore these every day in the summer! They dry fast and do not stink. Wonderful protection for his little toes.

This is a great shoe for an active toddler boy who loves to run climb and get messy. Fits well and easy for him to run, walk, play in.

We got these shoes last week after two order as they run about half-one size big. (Thank you Zappos for your amazing service.) My son wears a size 1 Pediped Adrian flex but the 1 in this style was huge! We ended up with a 13/13.5 and it should carry us thru the summer. My son has a Wide foot and these fit perfect. I think a child with a narrow footsie could not wear these. They are extremely light and very flexible! The color doesn't show well in the above picture as the Red is very vivid. I love the closed toe and my son said they are way more comfortable than his Keens. (We were looking for a lighter sandal this year.) That said, they seem very well made and are washable! The foot bed is flat so there is no arch support as with most minimal shoes. I like how they look and I would definitely buy again!

My oldest son has wide feet. Ever since he was starting to walk I have been on the hunt looking for shoes that fits and support him. I was reluctant to spend this much on kids shoes as they seem to outgrow them very fast and you can't buy them a size bigger like clothes to grow into. Pediped for me is the best shoe brand for kids! Their shoes are supportive, easy to put on for kids on their own, flexible and well made. We just love these sandals. As it is closed toes (can't hurt your toes), easy to put on and off. Sole has a great grip and child can run and climb on any surface and objects! Perfect summer shoes! Worth every cent!

I ordered these for my 2 year old son. I am a big fan of the Pediped brand and have almost always had great luck with their shoes for my kids. These sandals are spectacular! they look great, breath well in the summertime - keeping sweaty feet from smelling, and they are very comfortable. My 2 year old son loves them and wears them every day. His feet are just slightly wide which is not a problem with this shoe. They fit true to size (even though I ordered these a tad bit big with hopes of them fitting through to the fall).

Great shoe. My son loves to wear this pair of sandals. He is able to put them on himself (23mo) easily as well which makes him feel proud. The shoes are washable which is great after having played in the mud or on the beach. Would certainly recommend this shoe.

These were a great purchase for my two year old son. I wanted summer sandals that he could get wet but not necessarily water shoes. If he decides to go stomping around in puddles with these I just rinse them off and they are dry within a few hours. He will definitely get a lot of use out of these. I have been very happy with all the Pediped shoes that I have bought for him.

These are very cute sandals. My son was excited to try them on as soon as he saw them. However, the soles were too stiff, and he had difficulty walking in them, especially when he tried to walk on his toes. He is an early walker, though, and these would probably be great for an older toddler. We will likely try them again next summer.

Very cute shoes, I was going to get Keens for my 18 month old but prefer a more flexible sole. My only complaint is that they are a bit wide for a normal sized foot!

These shoes are cute. Unfortunately they are sized WAY to big. I ordered a 9-9.5 and they were enormous on my son. Unfortunately a smaller size was sold out so we weren’t able to exchange. They are very cute in appearance and light weight. I would suggest to size down.

loved these but too narrow for my little guy.

They cute and comfortable, my son loves them.

My 2-year old son would only wear these sandals last summer, so naturally we came back to Zappos for a bigger size for this coming summer. We just had his feet measured at a specialty footwear store, and these sandals definitely run large. No worries with Zappos though, we finally found the pair that fit! Hopefully he stays that size for a few more months (weeks?)!

I struggled with sizes on this one - although I measured my son's feet with a Brannock Device, I seemed to order completely too-large sandals the first time around. I re-ordered another size down and honestly, he could have gone one more size down, which according to the size chart should have been too small. I kept this pair figuring he'll grow more in the next couple of months and if it's a warm fall, he'll be able to get more wear out of them with socks. He has sweaty feet, so these rugged sandals with socks will keep him comfortable in the fall so long as it's not wet out.

These are great summer shoes but they literally run a full size larger. Why not just make them true to size? We literally had to try three sizes to find the one that fit my son, a pain.

My toddler wears 10 at Nike Tanjun. First I ordered 10-10.5 at pediped Sahara, they were very large. I changed them to 8-8.5 and they fit good.

I should have taken into account the reviews that said this shoe runs large. It seems to be a full size larger. Beware. Otherwise nice looking shoe.

Overall, I love this shoe... but they are on the narrow side.

This shoe runs big, my son is a size 11 and the 11-11.5 was too large.
