StrideRite vs. PediPed vs. See Kai Run

Which do you prefer for new walkers?  I bought Stride Rite for both DD1/DS1, but wasn't aware of PP/SKR.  

I need to get E & G some shoes because they are starting to take a few steps.  I have  a few pairs of 'fun' shoes from Natalie (Gabi is a size 3ish and Nat wasn't walking at that size) and Gabi really hates all of them.  I bought Eli a pair of soft soles (not Robeez, but more like the Smaller line from SKR) at Target but they are getting too short.  

So, which do you like best?

    #1 had all StrideRite and I was very pleased with all of her shoes.  #2 got Stride Rite and Pediped.  Loved them both.  The pedi's seemed to have a softer sole like Robeez (sp?) but more support.

    I've never had any SKR's but from the pictures I've seen, they're adorable!

    I've had all three but I think See Kai Run are my favorite.  They are so soft and so flexible-but the soles are good for walking where Pedipeds can be a little slippery.  Plus I like the styles a lot better than what I see at Stride Rite. 

    I love Pedipeds for the still crawling but pulling up stage-just because they are super cute. :)

    I love Pedipeds because they are so soft they are basically like being barefoot, which is best for learning how to walk. I also found they held up really well, even when walking outside. The pairs DS wore still look almost new. I also like SKR's and he had a pair, but they are super wide, Pedipeds are much more narrow so they worked better for his skinny feet. I have never bought any StrideRite because I don't think they are as cute and the other brands worked just fine for us.

    Oh also, Clarks have some super cute walker shoes.  Not available in all stores, but they are adorable and comfy.  DD had a pair of clarks for preschool and they held up SO well.  I assume the littles would hold up well, too.

    I really prefer the Robeez-style shoes until they are better walkers. When they are still going from crawling to walking and back again a lot, the soft-soled shoes can't be beat. Once they walk more than crawl, I like Pedipeds. I didn't move onto firmer-soled shoes until after their 2nd birthdays.

    I've only used Stride rite and SKR... the SKR fell apart!  I don't know if I have bad luck, but I had to hot glue the lining back into ds' boots after just 2 wears.  I won't buy them again.  another friend and another nestie commented they had that problem with some of their shoes too.  this was winter '08/'09.   bff bought pedipeds for her dd and loves them.
