Customer Reviews Keds Champion Leather Lace Up

This shoe is simple, streamlined, and attractive. It looks like one of the Coach sneakers. Although there's zero arch support, there is ample room for orthotic inserts if you order a half size larger than you normally wear. The W (wide) width accomodates bunions very well. I returned the Keds, however, because the soles feel thin and uncushioned compared to my Ecco sneakers.

This was a good fit and would have kept them except for the slight pucker on the left toe box. For the money, I expected a great look on both shoes. Sorry to have to send them back.

Keds Champion Leather shoes look fantastic and they have been holding up well after a month of light walking. They're very easy to clean with a because of the material (leather) they're made out of. If you aren't on you're feet too often, I would recommend them in a heartbeat. But due to the flat bottom, they aren't the kind of shoes I'd suggest if you're going to be out walking for the day.

Had a hard time finding these in my size, but Zappos came through again. That said, these are not the quality Keds Champions that I bought circa 2004. They were "washable leather" and believe me they held up through wearing 4 days a week and being machine washed about every 4 months for six years before I felt they were too ratty looking to wear to work any more. The biggest problem I have with these is that there is no arch support or basically any support whatsoever. I will buy inserts to help with that and fortunately there is enough room to accommodate that addition. So sorry this classic's quality has gone downhill.

LOVE that Keds makes these in NARROW! I ordered 9.5N (too short) and the 10N (perfect length and width!), but am returning both. While the fit narrow is truly great, the leather is soft and friendly on the feet, it breaks my heart that NARROW are only available in this less-than-inspiring style :-( Perhaps it's the large size - I have only my feet to blame for that - but this style looks so boring/conservative! Please start making the Kickstart or Ace model in NARROW, and I will be a dedicated Keds customer for life!!!!

Fit was a bit loose.

The shoes are nice but I ordered a medium and they are too narrow. Medium sizes usually fit.

These are Keds just like you remember them but easier to clean (leather wipes off) and will more arch support for better comfort.

Great classic shoe - bought to replace a 5 year old pair- this pair in comparison runs much bigger, and the quality of leather is not as good but still pleased. Zappos as always are great to order from!!!!

I really liked these shoes until I tried to walk on my hardwood floors. They have NO traction at all. Even just standing still, they tend to slide. It's too bad because they are otherwise very comfortable and the wide width option was really nice. I don't want to test them outside because I will probably return them, but I would imagine the lack of traction could be problematic on some other surfaces and thus isn't what I'm looking for. They also really remind me of the shoes I used to wear for jazz dancing, but I kind of expected that so I'm not counting it as a negative.

I bought these for my sister who is in nursing school because she had to have White leather shoes that didn't have any breath holes... there where the cutest ones I could find

Much more comfortable and padded than I expected. For those with a wide toe bed, you may find these a bit cozy. I have a wide toe bed and narrow heel and they still fit nicely with a 3/4 insole added in. Plus, CUTE :) & Zappos staff were super helpful in shipping to me on time for my big trip.

For me, these are fine for casual use or when sitting at work, but not for times when I have to walk much, such as for a full day of errands. The leather seems a bit stiff, and while there is support, there is very little cushioning. Size 38N.

Wanted to love as they are so cute but inside seam rubbed bunions I often have that issue. Thanks again Zappos for excellent service. Free returns is great

Really cute. Not real comfortable if you need cushion. I will keep them and buy a different insole for them.

I usually wear a M width but have found Keys to run a little narrow for my feet. So, I ordered a wide this time. Sadly, that does not work either. The leather is good looking on these shoes and I wish they fit but I must send them back.

Sorry I have to return because the W was too wide and the M a little tight. Zappos as always is prompt with deliveries and crediting returns. Thank you!

My 13 year old daughter wears these daily! With leggings or jeans or shorts they're versatile and very comfortable. She has narrow feet and I think they run a little narrow which is perfect fit for her. They clean up well also.

I have to wear polishable black shoes at work in a grocery store so I wanted something I could dress up and down. This is the second pair I got but they have fallen apart too quickly this time around. The bottom is coming unattached but the rest is perfectly fine.

These are very light weight shoes and extremely comfortable. They do need an arch support inside, which I purchased. It would be nice if they came in a variety of colors. I will purchase these again. I am tired of the heavy and clunky type of running / workout tennis shoes.

These shoes are great. I had to add additional heel padding but that is not unusual. The fact that I could get them in narrow was wonderful. They are very comfortable. Service from Zappos is the best!

Classic comfort with everyday, anywhere style. I have very wide problem feet (hammertoes) and these are my go to shoes. I also wear compression hose, these shoes allow you to slip your feet in without pulling on the hose! I give 4 stars for comfort only because they need a little more arch support.

Nice looking shoe and wide enough...sadly it is a bit too long in the back and my foot slides up and down. Yet a size smaller would be too small.

I have a bunion on my right foot and I am still able to comfortably wear my leather Keds. I wish that they had more arch support, but I will still continue to wear these classic shoes.

I do like these shoes and they are one of the few of their kind to come in a narrow size. My only complaint is the toe area is a tiny bit tight on my little toes and could be just a bit wider across. I can put up with this because the rest fits so well and has a decent amount of padding inside.
