Flipflops for kids of the non-sucky variety

Flipflops for kids of the non-sucky variety

My daughter has a thing for flip flops these days, probably because she sees me wearing them all the time. So I did a dumb thing and bought a cheap pair of kids' flip flops from a big mall store. I think these mall flip flops are made of sandpaper and barbed wire. My kid is miserable every time she puts them on. So my mom, of all people, found a pair of flip flops for kids from Pediped who, frankly, I didn't even know made flip flops. (Thanks for showing me up, mom.)


The shoes are soft and flexible and the part between her toes doesn't bother her a bit. Plus I love the little detachable ankle strap that lets us turn them into proper sandals when we've got farther to walk.

I had a hard time finding the flip flops on the Pediped website at first, because they're called "Ryan" and apparently, they're "for boys." What, girls can't wear brown? It's a neutral! -Liz
