pediped footwear Purchases with Purpose Sale and the pediped Rewards Program {Review & Giveaway}

pediped logo{This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Christy!}

One of the other moms from Little Sister B's preschool class asked me recently if she was able to wear Big Sister E's hand-me-down shoes. I didn't even have to glance over at my daughter before answering, "Of course!"

After all, part of the benefit of having a pair of high quality, comfortable, distinctive and fashionable shoes for an older child is the knowledge that they're going to easily hold up well enough that they can be worn by a younger sibling.

And, when that footwear is available in styles from casual to dressy and for a wide range of stages of development (infants through 6+ years), it's clear that pediped has shoes that will always keep growing feet safe, healthy and looking good for years to come.

pediped footwearAs much as we have always loved pediped footwear for their amazing shoes, everything that I have learned about them as a company has made me even more smitten.

First, they created the pediped foundation.

The mission of the pediped foundation is to enhance the lives of children through financial and product support to charities and organizations that are aligned with the foundation's mission.

Through working with charities that are dedicated to the health, education, basic necessities and pediped sales with a purposethe personal fulfillment of children around the world, 100% of the funds raised by the pediped foundation will go directly to these life-changing organizations.

So how can you help? By outfitting the child(ren) in your life with fantastic shoes, of course! pediped footwear is hosting a fundraiser called Purchases with Purpose that is going on now through February 5th that will directly benefit the pediped foundation. Select styles on pediped.com are marked down as much as 50% and half of the sales from those shoes will be donated to the pediped foundation to help children in need.

Who doesn't like to be rewarded for their shopping?

I love knowing that pediped is commited to giving back to the community and to their customers and the Purchases with Purpose fundraiser is the perfect time for shoppers to receive pediped Rewards and make a difference in the life of a child at the same time.

Around here, pediped has already made a difference by sending over a pair of their award-winning shoes for Big Sister E. Being the non-girly girl that she is, she ignored all of the designs with pink or Mary Jane styling and couldn't have been more excited when the Caleb Brown (no longer available) arrived for her.

pediped reviewThese rugged tennis shoes are water safe and washable and the Velcro top closure and elastic laces make them extremely easy to get on and off. As well as the easy care, I love that the eco-friendly make up of these shoes are not only good for the earth, but also for Big Sister E's feet as the flexible uppers and soles encourage healthy foot growth.

But one of my absolute favorite features of these pediped shoes is that they contain their trademark Flex Fit System. By providing an additional set of insoles, these can be inserted for a more snug fit (they reduce the shoe size by almost half a size) and then removed for room as the child's foot grows. Talk about extending the life of a shoe!

pediped flex fit systemI did choose these shoes in a size larger than what Big Sister E is just growing into, so I wasn't surprised when she put them on and found that they were a little loose. However, once we tried again with the extra insoles, they were nearly a perfect fit and she has been bursting at the seams waiting for her current pair of shoes to be fully outgrown so that she can start wearing these.

pediped shoespediped footwear is sold in over 3000 stores in the United States and 40 countries worldwide with an offering of more than 120 designs for boys and girls between their three lines: Originals, Grip ‘n’ Go and Flex.

I always enjoy seeing the new styles and colors that are added to the collections and I appreciate that pediped is continuously working to improve their footwear (e.g. they are coming out with new soles on their Originals shoes) to be the very best possible. You'll want to be sure to sign up to be a pediped Insider (right on the homepage) so that you don't miss special promotions, new products, sales, discounts and more.
