The Flex® Sahara runs large. Pediped recommends choosing one EU size down from your child’s current size for a comfortable fit. It is best suited to petite to average-width feet. If your child has a broad foot or a high instep, check the product measurements before sizing down.

Yes. These water-safe sandals are made for splashes, pool days and beach play. Their quick-dry EVA footbeds are designed to let water drain out quickly, so children are not walking around in soggy sandals for the rest of the day. Rinse away sand or chlorine after use, then air dry.

For machine-washable styles, place the shoes in the washing machine on their own, using cold water, a gentle cycle and regular detergent. Do not add bleach. Open the hook-and-loop fasteners before air drying the shoes away from direct sunlight. Skip the dryer, as heat can affect the materials and shape.

No. Pediped sandals and Adventure Line water shoes do not include inserts because their footbeds are not removable. This is normal for these styles and helps keep the water-ready footbed securely in place.

Yes. The Adventure Line is vegan, with no animal products or by-products. Its material is made without solvents during manufacturing, which uses less water and energy and produces lower carbon dioxide emissions. It is a useful option for families looking for a water shoe without animal-derived materials.

Pediped footwear carries the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance for promoting healthy foot development. It is reassuring when you want a supportive everyday shoe, but fit still matters most: leave enough room at the toes and check that the heel sits securely before your child heads out.
