Pedipeds to the rescue

It turns out that my great shoe mission was a huge failure. I should have done my homework and saved myself a few bucks!

Over the 4th of July {yes, I am still catching up on my posts. blame it on the lack of sleep} we were in St. Louis and Jackson was wearing his new shoes. He looked so cute in both his walkers and his Keds. However, he started to get pretty fussy after wearing them for a couple of hours.

Before we headed downtown to the fireworks, we stopped in to Nordstrom with my mom and sister. Jackson continued to fuss, which is not like him. Especially when we're in public. He loves people!

My sister decided to take off his shoes. Immediately Jackson was a happy boy! The Keds were too tight on his feet. They must have really been bothering him. Insert huge Momma Guilt for not realizing my baby was in pain.

So off to the baby boy shoe department we went {Jackson loves to walk everywhere, allowing him to be barefoot downtown was not an option}. The sales girl raved about the Pedipeds. And to my surprise, they truly are the best thing besides bare feet. Jackson loved them. Pedipeds totally saved the day!

I should have realized that Jackson didn't need the support so much as just protection. Babies walk much better barefoot than with big ole clunky shoes!

He started out happy in his Keds...

and these Walking shoes sure were cute,

but they don't even compare to his Pedipeds!
