I have no idea if they were available when the first three were little, but I was thrilled at what I found online in 2007\/2008.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that I determined to do with Siah was to buy better quality items, but only what we needed.  For example, I had probably 5+ pairs of shoes for my little girls and at least that many again for Jeremy.  I mean, I needed those cute runners and those fancy shoes and those other fancy shoes and the little sandals and the slip on comfy shoes&#8230;and it went on and on and on.<\/p>\n<p>In total, even if I bought the shoes on sale, it still added up.<\/p>\n<p>I remember looking online at a pair of $40 shoes that I was considering buying for Josiah and cringing&#8230;and yet, I&#8217;m positive that I spent more than that on all the different pairs of shoes for Geli or Xani or even Jeremy&#8230;.And I&#8217;m not talking all together over the first year or two&#8230;., I&#8217;m talking at one time,  if I had 4 pairs of shoes that I paid $10 each for.  BAM!  Same price!  <\/p>\n<p>But, the difference was that I was only planning on getting one pair&#8230;.less crap to store, they were leather&#8230;..better quality, and they were supposed to be better for their developing feet&#8230;..soft soles.<\/p>\n<p>I went ahead and bought the shoes for Siah and I&#8217;m thrilled I did.  I believe that I&#8217;ve spent less to shoe Josiah than I had with any of the other kids and I&#8217;ve been thrilled with the quality, style, and functionality of the shoes and the contribution to the healthy development of Siah&#8217;s feet.<\/p>\n<p>I do like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robeez.com\/EN-US\/default.htm?Lang=EN-US&#038;PriceCat=2&#038;RefID=GOUS_robeez\">Robeez<\/a> brands for both the soft shoes but also the Mini-Shoez and the 1st Stepz but&#8230;&#8230;..no where near as much as I love <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pediped.com\/Home\/home.aspx\">Pediped Shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I LOOOOOOOVE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pediped.com\/Home\/home.aspx\">Pediped<\/a> shoes.  They are by FAR my favorite baby\/toddler shoes. <\/p>\n<p>Just recently, Josiah received some birthday money from my parents.  I figured that seeing as he&#8217;d grown out of his last pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pediped.com\/Home\/home.aspx\">Pedipeds<\/a> over the summer that this would be the perfect time to get another pair for the fall\/winter.<\/p>\n<p>I went looking at their site and as usual, there are SO MANY cute shoes to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>I went looking in the sale section and found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pediped.com\/Product\/ProductInfo.aspx?id=288\">this pair<\/a> in a size 12 and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pediped.com\/Product\/ProductInfo.aspx?id=203\">this pair<\/a> in a size 11 and figured that I could get both if I chipped in a little to what they had given and covered the shipping.  I figure that both shoes should last us for a while especially seeing as his feet measure a size 10 perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>I also liked<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pediped.com\/Product\/ProductInfo.aspx?id=238\"> these shoes,<\/a> but not as much as the first two.<\/p>\n<p>I placed my order and waited for the package to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>It only took a few days and when I opened the box I was excited to see the two boxes indicating the shoes that I&#8217;d ordered.<\/p>\n<p>When we opened the boxes is when we discovered a problem&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;ve ordered a few times from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pediped.com\/Home\/home.aspx\">Pediped<\/a> and never had any problems before.  But, this time, there was a bit of a mix up.  I received the brown pair in the correct size but the box that showed the black and red size 11 shoes actually had a size 9 of the blue and white runner that I&#8217;d liked but didn&#8217;t order.<\/p>\n<p>I contacted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pediped.com\/Home\/home.aspx\">pediped<\/a> by e-mail and they responded right away, like within 15 minutes.  I could keep the blue pair to give away or keep and they were sending me the correct pair right away.<\/p>\n<p>So, I actually got 3 pairs of shoes for the price of two and even then&#8230;.the price of two was pretty good as, it was on sale.<\/p>\n<p>I LOVE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pediped.com\/Home\/home.aspx\">Pediped<\/a> and will continue to buy shoes from them.
