Keds Champion - Cream Puff Mid SKU: #7848429

Anonymous

When I bought these shoes I really really liked the vibrant color and also how my ankle was warm. However, I did need to either put a extra warm sock on or/and purchase a foot boot liner. I really love these shoes and are great after skiing for a long day and your foot needs a peaceful rest.

I ordered these in Green. I got an 8½ and I am normally a 9. They are a little narrow, but long so there is plenty of toe room. I purchased these for a trip to Chicago and am comparing them to a pair of Kamik Scarlet boots in Black. Both are comfortable, but these Keds are not as warm, and because they are so narrow they will not fit comfortably with thicker socks. If I get half a size larger I think the toe would be too long. None of the descriptions throughout the web say whether these are truly weather proof/water proof. The Keds website says that they are ready for anything that mother nature throws at you (or something to that effect). These were the only boots that did not give clear definition as water proof that came up in a cold weather boot search. I called Keds and the woman on the phone assured me that they were water proof and will be good for rain and snow. I think these boots would be good for short periods of time, but if you are going to be in the snow or very cold weather for a prolonged period make sure that you have enough room for winter socks. Though they are comfortable and super cute, I am going to stick with the Kamik boots because they seem sturdier and warmer. It was a really tough decision though. If I was made of money (and had not already bought myself two new pairs of shoes for my birthday last month) I would totally keep both. What it came down to for me was which pair of boots would be better for me during Wintertime in Chicago.

This is an update to my previous review. I was still skeptical about whether these boots were weather proof or not so I emailed Keds. Here is the reply I got, thank you for contacting us The Cream Puff boot is not water proof but it is water resistant so the material can handle getting wet but your feet can get wet. We appreciate your patronage. So if you need a pair of reliable snow/rain boot this is probably not the one. They are so comfortable and will probably keep your feet safe in some light rain and trudging over the snow, but if you don't want to get them too wet or your feet will get wet to. I hope this was helpful to anyone who was unsure about these shoes.

Brands I'd also recommend: Kamik, Khombu

I bought these in olive, they're super cute and comfy. As for winter boots they soak through easy in deep snow (and then take forever to dry back out). There are definitely warmer options out there. Big plus is that they're easy to slide on and off quickly. They run big! But I usually wear them with at least one layer of super thick socks so it's not a big deal.
