Shoes: Pedipeds, Robeez, what else is there?

[Biscuits & Gravy]

I'm looking for something like Pedipeds. Soft, but not like Robeez. It looks like the Robeez mini shoez are similar to pedipeds. Are there other brands that are along these lines? DS needs a little structure due to a foot issue, but I'm noticing that he walks much more (and better) when he is barefoot or in socks. I think pedipeds or something similar will be a good compromise.

Also, if you know of a good deal on shoes please let me know. I am willing to spend $25, but not more than that.

Bobux is another brand that makes that type of shoe. I believe they also have a more structured option, like the Mini Shoez.

If you are even a tiny bit crafty, I just made a super cute pair for a friend... the pattern is SO simple and you can vary the fabric/ material/ size very simply. Let me know and I can send it to you!

See Kai Run are a favorite in our house, very good for wider feet. Pedoodles and Robeez Tredz are also good.

what about smaller by see kai run? you can usually find them on sale on amazon for less than $20

Most shoe stores have soft soled shoes for little babies and if you just feel different shoes you can probably find some that are acceptable to you w/o paying for robeez/pediped name-brandness. DS1's last pair of shoes were Osh Kosh and very flexible from Khols. The ones he's in now are Jumping Beans and pretty flexible - they were like $6.99

We just got some Shooshoos Smileys and DS loves them so much he sleeps in them!

I agree, Smaller by See Kai Run are a little wider than the Robeez mini shoez, if that makes a difference.

You can also sometimes find some really great deals on Ebay since not as many people are looking for them as the Robeez.

For my DD, Robeez mini fit best on bare feet, but with thick socks the Smaller by SKR or pedipeds fit better. (we have too many shoes )

Simple makes some great toddler shoes, very flexible sole (moreso than See Kai Run) but they do have structure. Use sustainable materials too . They are $35 tho...

Thanks so much for the responses! After looking at all of these ideas I happened to be at the mall today (extremely rare for me!) and there was a Stride Rite store. I wandered in and found these. They are exactly what I needed, a little structure but super flexible. Plus the soles are made from recycled materials and they were only $19.99!

I love see kai run! Love love love!
They are a little more expensive, but I don't want to take a chance with DD's growing feet! Also they are so darn cute!
I also have robeez treds, pedi peds and shoo shoos. Love them all!
