Customer Reviews Keds Champion Canvas Lace-Up

I love the looks of Keds and I used to love the ability to throw them in the wash when needed. Don’t wash the new Keds or you will have blue tye-dyed shoes. Where did your quality go Keds? Super disappointed.......

I received my Keds yesterday and wore them for the first time. They felt great and then I got caught in a sudden rain storm and now my white Keds are light blue because the insole which is navy blue faded onto the white canvas. I have never had this happen with any of my canvas Keds before. There's not any warning on the shoes or box that says if it gets wet they will be ruined.

I've been wearing Keds Champions for over 30 years and they haven't changed. That's a good thing. They run true to size, the wide is actually a wide (unlike many brands) and there is reasonable arch support. The sole is a bit on the thin side, so if you're looking for an athletic shoe for high impact aerobics/running, etc., this isn't it. It is an excellent casual shoe, though, and comes in every color of the rainbow. You won't find better at this price.

I have never been so happy with a sneaker like Keds, since I purchased my first pair of Converse when I was a teenager. They are so comfortable, that I was able to work a 15 hour shift with them! I am a cashier at a market, and I have to remain standing the majority of the day. The only downside is, these sneakers look better with a naked foot. So, if you do not feel comfortable not wearing socks with your sneakers, I would think twice in matters of fashion, before purchasing a pair of Keds.

I have small, wide feet and am so happy that Keds offers these shoes in wide widths. Keds always run 1/2 size big, so knowing this I ordered 1/2 size down and they fit great. I am delighted with my new red Keds and am going to order them in black too. I just wish they'd offer the wide sizes in more colors. Would love purple please!

I LOVE THESE! I have narrow feet, so the medium width was perfect. However, I have a high arch, so the seam across the top was tight at first, but it stretched out within one days wear, and now they fit perfectly. I usually wear a 6-6 1/2, and I ordered a 5 1/2... They run a little long, so keep that in mind when choosing your size. I will definitely buy more in the future.

I’m very disappointed in the quality of these Keds. I had only worn them about 5 times when I accidentally stepped in dog poop. I washed my shoes in the washer machine and when the shoes came out the leather around the shoe came off. I have thrown Converse and Nike’s in the washer machine and have never had this problem before. I would not recommend these shoes to anyone. They should not fall apart after such short use or in the washer machine. I wish I could get my money back.

Beyond disappointed with the width of these shoes. I ordered a double wide and they don't feel wide at all. I've a included a pic for width comparison. From left to right: Keds 9.5WW, Sketchers Bobs 9.5W, Naturalizer shoes 9.5WW. As you can see, the Keds WW are about the same width as the Sketchers W. Neither are as wide as the Naturalizer WW. Don't be fooled - even though these come in WW, they are built for narrow feet.

I had to exchange the first pair because apparently my weight loss is showing up in my shoes too! YAY! The smaller pair had a spot that pushed on my pinkie toe a bit but because it's canvas, I put on thick socks and wet that spot. Byt the time it dried, it was stretched just enough in that spot to fit perfectly. I've always wanted a pair of Keds but got obsessed with UGGs lol. I LOVE the bright red color and the bit of arch support. I'm really hoping there is enough there. I wear Vionic supports in my Nikes to prevent migraines (yes, it works!) but so far, my body seems fine with these as-is.

The champion is a classic. They fit true to size and took very little getting used to. A good shoe!

I'm usually a size 9.5 and my feet are a little wide, but not so much so that I ever ordered a wide width. I tried a size 9 originally after reading reviews and they were too big, then a size 8.5 and they were too narrow. 8.5 wide was just right. They make my feet look tiny and are incredibly comfortable. It took a few tries, but I finally got a pair that fits and I love this shoe.

I love my Keds! These are slightly different from the last Champions I bought: the tag on the back is different, and there's no terry cloth lining. No biggie. I usually wear a 10, but in Keds I wear a 9.5.

Seller was great! No problems with the seller at all, but the shoes fit much longer in length and narrower in width than the Keds I have been wearing for years...not the seller's fault at all.

Originally I was skeptical about following other reviewers suggestions to order 1/2 size smaller, as for many other shoes my true size tends to fit perfectly, however for these Keds the sizing is definitely 1/2 size too big. I have wide feet and even the wide felt a bit tight on me. The extra wide was perfect. Unfortunately Zappos doesn't have the color/size combination I want, so I will be purchasing elsewhere.

Keds Champion Canvas - I've been wearing canvas Keds sneakers since I was about seven or eight years old. I'm over 30 today, and I still love them! Other styles come and go, but Keds remain a wardrobe basic. You simply cannot beat Keds for comfort and style. My boyfriend, it turns out, likes Keds, too. A few months ago, one of my girlfriends jokingly allowed my boyfriend to try her Keds on (they both apparently have the same size foot.) Anyway, he liked them so much that, within a week, my boyfriend purchased his own pair of Keds. He wears them everywhere, and they look great on him, too!

The width of the EW fit my bunion feet well. But maybe my feet are just super fat, there is an extremely obvious gap between the shoe and the area by my ankle when I tie the laces.

I ordered the narrow and boy were they narrow. I easily returned them and orderded the medium. They fit great and are comfortable for a casual shoe. Zappos has excellent costumer service.

I bought these for my teenage daughter, and she LOVES them. She wears them with skirts, shorts, jeans. You name it!

I love this sneaker. Have it in many colors. Very comfortable and light. I have a wide foot and I was able to buy this sneaker in a wide instead of ww. Please note, the white runs much bigger than the black and the black & white combo.

I have been wearing keds for years and love them, those of you that are complaining about washing them and they are being dyed blue if you read the description it says spot wash and air dry, spot wash means you take a cloth with some dish soap on it and you rub the spots, keds aren't meant to be put in the washer or worn in the rain as yes the insole will bleed on the white.

Meds are my favorite show to wear for any occasion. They are stylish and comfortable. I wear them with dress or jesns. They just give the look I'm trying to accomplish the cutest finishing touch. I feel super girly in them. I'm going to need them in every color because now they are the only show I want to wear with everything I own.

I am usually an 8.5 and sometimes find shoes a bit too narrow. I ordered a 8 and standard with. The size was good but I definitely need to order the wider width.

I love the classic Keds. I odeed mine in black size 8½EE. They are very comfortable and everyone keeps asking where I got them. I will wear them with capris and jean skirts. They are great casual shoes.

Keds are great but their so-called red is different than what I've had before. This pair is too pink for me, and I'll be returning them. Sad.

I had this shoe for years and loved it. Tried to replace it recently and could not find it locally anywhere. Zappos had it and ordering and receiving it was a snap. The shoes were in brand new condition, boxed as though no one had opened it before me. This was my first time using Zappos, but definitely won't be my last!
