Pediped Originals® provide the initial starting point for shoes in the Pediped range and could be the best first shoes that your son or daughter may ever have put on their feet.

Since children who are learning to walk move in a different way to confident walkers it makes sense that their shoes should be different in design too. First walkers have to try and feel their way across the floor in a way that we have all long since forgotten. Since they need to be able to closely feel their environment it makes sense, when wearing shoes, to have a sole unit that enables the children to feel the ground that they are walking upon. Experts suggest first walkers with soles made from soft leather as this is the closest to walking bare foot and doesn't force your child to move in a way that is not natural to them. Pediped Originals® are made using flexible and soft leather soles so that your little ones can still feel what's underneath their shoes, and not inhibit their natural movement, as they try to grip and feel the floor as they learn to walk confidently. In fact the sole of the Pediped Originals® comprises of two layers of high quality leather sandwiching a soft foam insert so that your children's feet remain comfortable and protected when they are moving. The grippy tread on the sole unit of Pediped Originals® first walkers can be mistaken for a man-made material but it is actually high quality leather covered with a non-slip coating.

As well as the soft and flexible sole on the Pediped Originals® the shoes themselves are all expertly made to ensure that your child's first walking shoes are created for maximum comfort. The uppers on the first walker shoes are made in quality leather, with subtle padding around the ankle, and the Velcro fastening enables the best fit possible and allows ease in putting the shoes on and off. The Pediped Originals® toe box provides ample room for natural foot growth allowing your children's feet to develop as they should. All Pediped Originals® are also uniquely hand stitched, rather than using chemical adhesive, which helps to enable your children's feet to breathe naturally. All this makes Pediped Originals® so comfortable for your child that they will be more than happy wearing them.

Pediped Originals® are currently available from Little Wanderers in size XS (0-6 months) and S (6-12 months) and come perfectly presented in their own Pediped shoes gift box. All of this helps to make Pediped Originals® ideal as either your own child's first walking shoes or as a gift for a friend or relative.
