Pediped Spring Line honors One Year for Flex

That’s right, the Flex line for Pediped turned one year old February 18th. In honor of turning one year old Pediped released their beautiful Spring Line. Pediped is a children’s shoes brand. My husband was actually excited to see the new styles. He picked out a pair for our son. I agree, they would be the perfect pair of shoes for him.

The Kyle

My son’s feet aren’t quite big enough for the Flex but that’s ok, because the Kyle isn’t a Flex style. I’ve posted before on Pediped, but if you need a reminder about what Flex is check this out.

My daughter loves to wear boots so my husband picked her out a pair of boots, but with summer around the corner we’re going to wait until the fall to get her a pair of boots.

I love shoes and everything in miniature is so much cuter. These sandals would be great for my son too. I have found that the quality of Pediped is outstanding. My daughter’s shoes still look brand new even with our very rainy weather.

Hot Shoes from Pedi Ped

Cold cold cold. I am so cold here in my house my fingers are turning white. So when I saw in my e-mail that hot shoes are on the market I started to warm up. Anything to get my mind off of how cold I am. So, if you are in one of those cold places let’s look at some sandals for our little ones.

I have posted a few times about how much I love Pediped and how wonderful their pediped flex is. Today I’m going to show you their new spring line.
Here is the press release:
Hot New Summer Sandals Highlight Pediped™ SPRING SUMMER 09 Collection
Henderson, NV – - (January 2009) – - pediped’s Spring Summer 09
Collection boasts more sandals than ever. Sandals are a footwear staple during
hot summer months and pediped™ is ready with sandals for every day and for every
occasion. Little ones will be styling in their pedipeds which provide comfort
and support that many sandals lack.
Standout styles include:
Giselle
for the fashion forward with its trendy multi-colored polka dots
Brady for
rough and tumble boys who continue to play in their sandals as they would in
their closed toed shoes
Harvey for the littlest ones looking for summer fun
The pediped™ footwear summer sandal collection is both attractive and
functional – a combination moms LOVE to see.

Here are some pictures:
This is the Abigale in pink and green. Abigail comes in three different color skews and is available for 32.00. This shoe has a soft leather sole made of a double layer with some padding for extra cushioning. I like that they fold completely in half. Abigail also comes in the flex which is going to have the hard sole for our outdoor walkers.
The next shoe to be shown on this mommy blog is the Addison. The Addison is also a Pediped original. This means that it comes in the sizes 0 to 24 months. It looks like this is going to be one of the spring shoes in the flex. If you go to purchase shoes the new shoes are not yet available. They are going to be ready to buy in February.

The Giselle style can currently be found as a Mary Jane and has been translated into in a stylish sandal in both brown and white. This shoe is known for its versatility to go with just about any outfit dressy or casual. The Giselle Sandal will retail for $38. The Giselle Sandal is not pictured.
Don’t worry the boys aren’t left out in this new line to come out. Do you read me and feel like your reading an advertisement? I think in another life I was in advertising. ;-) Anyways back to the shoes. YES, I could have a blog just about shoes and why I like or don’t like them. The boys will have Brady a navy blue and orange leather sandal that has just enough coverage to protect the toes of active little boys and my boy has been active since the day he was conceived while still allowing for airflow to keep feet cool. Brady will be available in February and will retail for $38.
Picture this, a nice warm day on the beach with your kids and your feet in the sand. Ahhh, warmth. Can’t you feel it with me? It’s never warm enough here for sandals. At least not in my opinion.

Pediped – Make a Wish Foundation Donation

I love to find out about companies that are making donations to those in need. In fact, I was tyring to have a whole blog about that but the time it takes to take care of one blog let alone two blogs, I just couldn’t do it. So, here is my first post on Momstart about a company giving back and how we can help.

“We believe in the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the good work it does with
children,” said Angela Edgeworth, pediped president. “We are blessed with
healthy children and feel compelled to make a difference in these children’s
lives. We initially pledged $50,000, but thanks to the generosity of our
consumers, we are confident we can double that. We’ve reduced the price of our
shoes, something we never do, as a way to give back to our consumers while
benefiting this worthy charity. We hope everyone shares in the spirit of giving
this season. Goodness knows people need it now more than ever. We should be
thankful every day for what we have.” pediped partnered with the Make-A-Wish
Foundation this year for the first time, and the collaboration has far surpassed
expectations, Edgeworth said. So far, pediped has raised more than $87,000,
enough to grant the wishes of 12 children with life-thre
atening medical
conditions. pediped Footwear scheduled four fundraising events this year, two
with donation matching and two from which it donated 50 percent of the total sales from select shoes.

Here is the list of styles that will be on sale:

The sale begins on the 17th and runs till the 31st. The shoes will be more than 30% off, and 50% of total sales will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Their shoes are usually 40 to 60 so these are great prices. Go shopping for some shoes and feel great about
where the money is going.
