Noah Navy Flex Sandal Size US 9-9.5, EU 26

This is my first Pediped purchase for my 19 month old son. The sandals are well made, especially the stitching.They are flexible enough although I was compelled to hand bend them before putting them on his feet for the first time.The suede is a deeper navy blue than the picture which is nice.Sometimes suede shoes can look a little faded, especially navy.My son wears wide shoes in the Stride Rite brand, so I was worried that these might be too narrow.However, they fit nicely and the toe box is wide enough for chunky feet.I ordered a size 22 and he wears US 6W right now.Someone commented about the strap digging into the top of the foot.This could be a problem depending on how your toddler''s feet/legs are made.I am always mindful of this issue because my son cannot comfortably wear shoes with high tops or extended tongues.He does not appear to be uncomfortable in these shoes and I have not seen any stress marks across the top of his foot. He wears them all day at pre-school.He will wear these for the remainder of the summer weather here in Texas.I highly recommend these sandals as they can be dressed up or down.I purchased my son''s sandals on the Pediped website at a bargain price.These sandals are superbly crafted leather sandals with good flexibility.You will not be disappointed in the quality.
