    Just received my Pro-Keds Royal CVO's. What a great shoe! Very comfortable and a true classic, complete with the Keds blue heel logo. This is the direction Keds should be taking with men's shoes going forward. Very comfortable and well made. Will order the red ones too, for a complete set.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Vans authentic lace up and slip-on.

    Within a week of wearing these shoes, one of the seams have busted open and now I have a hole in them. I don't know if they just weren't wide enough for my feet, but apparently they don't hold up well.

    Pro Keds Royal - Glad Ked's went back to the blue heal logo. I just wish they would have used the original classic type style. If your going to to it, do it right. Had to order a size and a half up to get a comfortable fit. When Keds were made in the U.S. they were true to size. Nice style. I wish they'd take that sill logo sewn on the tongue off. I have to cut it off with each pair. I hate logos. These are supposed to be classic shoes. Less is more people at Keds! I bought the navy and all black. I wish Keds would make an all navy with navy soles like the all black. Then, they'd have something. I wonder who decides this stuff. I guess I shouldn't complain too much. You couldn't even buy men's Keds for years.

    A massive disappointment. I had Pro-Keds when I was a teen and they were some of the best sneakers I ever owned. I was excited to see them come back. No padding, horrible stitching, fake suede (how do you manage that?) no arch support, very uncomfortable, especially considering how comfortable they were in the old days, not to mention an excellent basketball shoe. You'd be better off playing hoops in bare feet or ski boots.

    These shoes were just a tad too short and a tad too narrow. Usually I don't have that problem in either direction. I am going to order a half a size up.

    of New Styles!

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    PRO-Keds began in 1949 as a brand aimed at sports and athletic performance. Based on quality, durability and a solid reputation, PRO-Keds became one of the leading names in athletic footwear. The first PRO-Keds shoe, originally released as the Royal Tread, was the Royal, a classic canvas basketball shoe in high and low tops featuring an identifying red and blue power stripe adjacent to the toe. The Royal was worn and endorsed by the then Minneapolis Lakers, the first-ever NBA® champions, who won five consecutive titles in PRO-Keds, led by the great George Mikan.

    By the late 70's, PRO-Keds was worn by a portfolio of NBA stars and had become tantamount with the biggest personalities in sports. The athletic shoe brand grew into a full performance line for athletes, making PRO-Keds one of the oldest shoe brands in the world.

    Many styles attained cult status in the neighborhoods of New York among the streetwise who adopted PRO-Keds shoes as the first real sneakers with style. PRO-Keds became the shoe of choice with b-boys everywhere and earned its place as a true icon of early hip-hop culture.

    After an absence of nearly 20 years, PRO-Keds shoes are reissuing some classic styles from its archives such as the Royal Canvas, the Court King and the historic Royal Master basketball shoe, bringing to life, once again, the heritage and history of this athletic brand.

    To this day, PRO-Keds continues to stay rooted in its heritage with its classic styles while reinvigorating the footwear category with designs that capture today´s popular culture trends. In addition, Pro-Keds continues to progressively release authentic sports originals in a wide array of colors and materials, staying at the top of their game!

    They fit me really well. I have narrow feet and Vans just don’t cut it for me. I always feel like I’m swimming in them. I’ve seen some complaints in previous reviews that alluded to the width. This is how I made my decision and I’m glad. So far, they’ve held up well. I don’t expect them to have a huge amount of support. After all, they are a canvas shoe. They do have a removable inner sole, which is a nice addition of you have an arch support or liner to add. When you look at the negative reviews, keep in mind that not all brands fit the same way for all people. I can’t fit into Vans, but that doesn’t mean I think it’s a terrible brand.

    from This universe

    Essentially, it's the more manly version of the classic Keds Champion. It has a much firmer sole, and a little extra durability in the upper and heel. The insole is comfy, but if it doesn't met your needs, it's slipped out easily and an orthotic can be put it without sacrificing a good fit. Definitely a good shoe for warmer areas or Spring-early fall time.

    This shoe is about the same quality as the Vans brand of the same type. After using these shoes a few hours a day over a month however, the threads started coming apart from the shoe. Also, this was on sale at the time I bought it, so maybe that was the issue? I know Pro-Keds for their quality and timelessness, but I was sad to see it coming apart at the seams. On a sizing note, make sure you get half a size larger than you usually would. If you try on Vans at a store, you will understand. These follow the same sizing and I used that to determine what I should get.

    Solid shoe, nothing spectacular. The laces feel somewhat cheap, and the shoe fits loose on the foot after a while. But they look fine and good for general purposes.

    What happen to this brand? I bought many pairs over the last 10 years or so and now the styles just aren't what they used to be. Why doesn't this classic style come in leather or faux-leather? It's only offered in canvas now. And the quality has really gone down the tubes the seems inside did some damage to my foot, there is no support and the sizing seems off too. I'm going to buy some classic shell-toe Adidas instead.
