Pediped and celebrities are getting together to make children’s wishes come true. From October 25 to November 1, Charity Buzz will hold an online auction of Pediped shoes autographed by the stars (including Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Faith Hill, Shaquille O’Neal, and many other celebrities from film, TV, music, and the sports world). During this event, called Stars for A Wish, bidding will start at $250 per signed pair of shoes. This fundraiser has a minimum goal of $25,000, which will help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. One-hundred percent of the funds raised through the auction will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

With spring right around the corner (I hope), Pediped is getting ready to unveil its Spring and Summer 09 footwear collection. Here is a sneak peek at one of the styles from the girls’ line.

The Giselle sandal features a pattern of hip, multi-colored dots on a background of either white or brown. I think the white ones would be perfect for many Easter dresses, although the brown ones would go over better in my house where shoes have to stand up to a bit of dirt.  Both colors are very sweet, and will be easy to coordinate with the clothes that are already in your child’s closet, or that you will be buying for the spring and summer seasons. Most importantly, while a lot of sandals look cute, these actually provide the support your child’s feet need in order to develop properly.

These fun sandals will be available in February and will retail for $38.  You can purchase them at Pediped.com.

Pediped.com has such an incredible collection of children’s quality shoes that you probably won’t be able to decide on just one pair. These Metallic Zoe Pink Mary Jane Sandals are typical of the soft, pliable Pediped construction that is recommended and accepted by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Children need protection and mobility in their footwear that also allows their feet to form properly.

View these and other styles at Pediped.com, where these Mary Jane Sandals are available for just $32.00 in sizes XS, S, M, and L.

Just in time for the holidays, Pediped is discounting some of their top-selling shoes.  If you haven’t yet tried Pediped’s shoes, this is a great opportunity to check them out.  I have been very pleased with the durability of this brand, and my toddler has given them quite a beating!

These Faith shoes in Black Velvet are perfect for the holidays.  They will be a perfect pairing for all of your little one’s holiday outfits.  Plus, since black works with just about everything, they will surely remain favorites even after the holidays.  Available in sizes from 0-6 months up to 18-24 months, they are designed to perfectly support growing feet.

Beginning December 17th, you can purchase these shoes for the substantially discounted price of $22 at pediped.com.  Best of all, the company has partnered with the Make-A-Wish Foundation this holiday season, so 50% of your purchase will go to make a child’s wish come true.

Here is a sneak peek at a fun shoe from Pediped’s soon to be released Fall/Winter 2008 line. The Natasha shoe features a houndstooth pattern in black and white. A black bow completes the look. I love the sophisticated style of these shoes.

They could quite easily be dressed either up or down, and they will go very well with a lot of the black and white outfits that I am seeing in many upscale children’s lines for the fall. As with all of Pediped’s shoes, you can count on quality construction and durability. The shoe is from the Flex line for sizes 6-12.

The Natasha shoe will be available soon. In the mean time, check out pediped.com to see the company’s many adorable styles on sale now. Through July, use the code hapr08 to receive free shipping on any order.

Pediped is one of the biggest names in children’s shoes at the moment. Strangely enough, I have yet to purchase any for our family. After stumbling upon this pair of pink flower Mary Jane shoes, however, that is about to change. I love the design of these shoes. The cheerful flower print would coordinate well with a lot of the clothes in my daughter’s wardrobe.

Made of 100% leather, Pedipeds are made to be soft and cushion growing feet. There are tons of styles to choose from for both boys and girls. Their cool styles and high-quality construction have made them a favorite with celebrity parents such as Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, and Denise Richards.

You can buy this particular pair for $38 at shopkitson.com.
