When Angela and Brian Edgeworth developed their acclaimed line of Pediped children’s shoes in 2004, they were attempting to provide a solution for a question that many parents had been asking for years: What type of shoe is best for my child’s developing feet?

Now with their Henderson location, this full line of shoes is just a stroll away at Pediped (1191 Center Point Dr.). Choose from three different lines: “Originals” for children 0 to 24 months; the “Grip N Go” for 9 months to 3 years; and the “Flex” for ages 1 to 6.
