Woman Owned, Family Run Business

Welcome to PedTerra! We are a family-run business founded in 2019 by Jessica Freson in the heart of Dekalb, Illinois. Our journey began with a simple yet profound mission: to provide eco-friendly footwear that supports healthy foot development for children and adults alike. As a family, we understand the importance of quality, comfort, and sustainability in every step we take.

If you'd like to take a moment to meet our owner, you'll discover just why Jessica has taken us so far! She knows that she is building PedTerra as an element of her community. This mindset provides our business with not only deep inspiration, but also a great workplace environment that fosters inclusion, graciousness, and opens the door for the unique perspectives of all of our employees. 

Opening ourselves to diverse perspectives enriches our problem-solving abilities, allowing us to curate a selection of footwear that truly meets the needs of families across the United States. As a mother, Jessica's insights guide our choices with immense feedback from our customers allowing us to assemble a truly incredible collection of barefoot footwear from around the world.

At PedTerra, we believe that everyone deserves stylish and comfortable options without compromising on safety or the environment. Our commitment to fostering a diverse and unique workplace ensures that we have the tools to reach each community and family on their own terms, and provide the best services possible to them.
