pediped® was created by Angela Edgeworth to be “the next best thing to bare feet.”

After her first daughter Caroline was born, she started to do a lot of thinking about footwear and the kind of shoes that would be best for her child. She wanted a shoe that was comfortable, stylish and could be worn both indoors and out. But most importantly, she wanted a shoe that was healthy for her child’s developing feet.

After a lot of research she discovered that doctors recommended barefoot walking or a soft leather sole shoe, but the choices for infants and toddlers were limited.

pediped® creates footwear that most closely resembles the natural shape of a baby’s foot. The Originals® most closely mimic barefoot walking. When children learn to walk they tend to shuffle, so rubber soles or shoes with grip, force children to change their natural stride and can actually make them trip. Originals® have a durable, slip-resistant leather sole. They’re roomy so the foot can move and grip and they’re flexible so your child can actually feel the floor. The hand-stitched leather sole allows your child’s foot to breathe.

Plus, Originals® have two layers of the highest quality leather on the market today plus a soft foam insert, so your child’s feet are protected while they’re on the move, INDOORS AND OUT. Originals® are the most comfortable shoe your child will ever wear and won’t want to take off.

We carry a large selection of pediped Originals in-store, but due to constantly changing inventory we do not list them online. However, we'd be glad to help you find a design over the phone (403) 851-5211 or by email (greatthingsinstore@yahoo.ca).
