This was the first pair of Pediped sandals I bought for my toddler. I think this is a quality brand. They do seem well constructed. However, I couldn't tell if these were actual leather sandals. They look like shiny fake brown leather sandals. Not really the look I was after and I'm worried that if they aren't real leather that the shininess will rub off after a few uses and then just look all scuffed. Of course, my toddler boy could care less. He thinks any shoes are cool. But the toe box is a bit more narrow than I wanted for my toddler's feet. I decided to return these and will buy a pair of See Kai Run sandals for him instead. They are made of real leather and have a wider toe box.
