For little girls: Pediped Shoes for Healthy Foot Development + {Giveaway & Promo Code}

If you're a parent, I'm sure you've heard of Pediped Footwear, which is well-known for shoes that are specifically engineered to promote healthy foot development from baby to 8 year olds. They are officially recognised by the American Podiatric Medical Association {APMA} as being beneficial for children's growing feet.

I'm ok with Lil Pumpkin wearing slippers or sandals for short distances, but when she goes for long walks e.g. during travel, we make sure that she wears well-cushioned, "proper shoes" that support her feet comfortably for healthy foot development. Bonus if they are stylish as well :P

Lil Pumpkin in Luna Sangria Pink

Pediped has a pretty comprehensive footwear system for their shoes to suit every kid's need at every age. Since Lil Pumpkin is going to be 5 years old soon, she wears shoes from the Pediped Flex range. These are catered for kids aged 1 - 8 years old and each pair comes with cushioned arch support and a soft rubber sole which provides excellent flexibility, maximises shock resistance and promotes healthy foot development. Great for kids like Lil Pumpkin that loooooove to run and jump all over the place! 

If your kids are aged 0 - 24 months, I think Originals would be the range to look at as they feature 2 layers of soft, flexible leather soles and roomy toe-boxes so the little feet can move, grip and feel the floor while learning to walk. This is actually recommended by pediatricians and podiatrists because they allow kids to closely mimic barefoot walking. It's also made to resemble the natural shape of the feet and are very comfy for the little ones. Once they start to walk, the toddlers move on to Grip 'n' Go which include a soft rubber sole that are great for indoor and outdoor wear.

Lil Pumpkin, not surprisingly, chose this very pink pair of athletic shoes. She needed a new one as her other pair was getting a little small. Despite looking a tad bulky as athletic shoes do, it is super light! It also has a heel cushion that protects against impact and breathable mesh uppers for better airflow. Best part is... it is machine-washable! *grins* All we have to do is to simply remove all insoles and place shoes in the washing machine in cold water, on gentle cycle with regular detergent.Then, air-dry away from sunlight.

This pair, like most in the Flex range, also came with additional Flex Fit System insoles that can be inserted for a more snug fit, then removed for room as the kid's feet grows. She's actually wearing one size up as these insoles can reduce shoe size by almost half a size. Having these also mean that the life of the shoe is extended since the kids won't outgrow them as fast, which in turn means you can save a little money :P

Lil Pumpkin in Amazon Pink Adventure Sandal

She also picked out this pair of sporty sandal. For some reason, she likes to wear sandals to preschool now. Guess she finds it easier, and faster to wear and run out to play with friends! haha

Unlike most sandals we've seen, the hardy Adventure Sandal comes with protective toe caps. Everybody knows what a pain it is to knock your toes into tables or something so we love this feature! Wearing these to class also means that Lil Pumpkin wears these on most days, almost all day, and it's fantastic that these are also machine-washable so that they can be kept fresh and clean. This pair of sandals does not come with the Flex Fit System insoles though so she's wearing her current size.

Pediped sells a wide range of comfortable and trendy shoes in major retailers like Bata, Mothercare & OG. Prices start from S$64.
