Customer Reviews Keds Champion Leather Lace Up

Bought just to wear for my pinning ceremony. I would never wear these as a floor nurse. Cute style for just being casual with.

They are too narrow, so I need to send them back. I wear an 8 W. and so would need to order a WW. Also I'm looking for a more flexible shoe, and these were stiff. Other than that they seem just like I remember from long ago.

I got these to wear to work and while they're comfortable for day-to-day errand running, they are not supportive enough for 5-8 hours of standing. They're very cute though, and added something a little different to my Keds collection.

Looks more like the traditional Keds without that funny sole that was on them for a while, and I like that. I have worn Keds for years, and having a narrow foot, they always fit well, though never quite as narrow in the heel as I would like. This pair feels wider, and after wearing them for only a short while, I was able to just slip them off without even untying them. However, they are still a nice looking shoe and comfortable enough to keep.

Great cute little shoe. Comfortable and easy to clean. They definitely run slim so order accordingly.

If you're a longtime Keds fan like myself, you will like the familiar style. However, I was a bit disappointed to find that the shoes no longer have the decent arch support or quality they used to. The arch support in these shoes is less than moderate. It's more like minimal and so is the thickness of the leather. I kept mine because I love the style and no break-in period, but the overall quality seems a bit cheap compared to those I have purchased in the past. Keds just isn't making these like they used to.

These shoes were purchased to comply with work uniform at Cracker Barrel for teen employee. They are more stylish than most black leather sneakers, but still comfortable enough to stand in for hours at a time.

I always love Keds in the summer as "run around" sneakers,but tried the M wide and it was too narrow for my foot, returned them and ordered a wide, that was too wide and my foot felt like it was flopping around in the shoe, sorry, this is the first year, I didn't get a pair of Keds!

Good fit, good looking. Not impressed by the cushioning, but they're Keds, after all.

I've worn this shoe for years and it continues to be the one I like. I have very wide feet, and it's great to be able to find my size.

First off, I'm a man. But I bought a pair of these Women's Keds Champion Leather Oxfords for myself because the manufacturer no longer makes this style in leather for men. I've had a pair of Keds Men's Leather Oxfords for more than twenty years and they've served me very well. But they're starting to show the wear, especially in the soles. The women's sneakers were the closest thing I could find as a replacement. Determining the correct size was made easier by Zappos' conversion chart. Likewise, Zappos had the best price online. I received my purchase quickly and in excellent condition. Never before had I purchased shoes without trying them on first, but I was reassured by Zappos' return policy including free return shipping. Having worn the shoes a bit now, I have to say that they're fine, but of course they're not as good as my old pair was when brand new. The material construction is of a lighter weight. And the Women's Oxford has a shorter tongue and fewer eyelets than the Men's would, leaving more of the top of my feet uncovered. It looks fine, but it feels a little strange to me. The width is good, but the length is perhaps a bit more than I need. I chose a Women's Size 13 (theoretically equal to a Men's 11, my typical shoe size) and when I walk I feel the heels of my feet lifting slightly inside the shoes. This may be attributable (at least in part) to the shorter tongue. I had little choice with the length as this item was not available in a Women's Size 12.5. But, better a bit too loose than a bit too tight. In any case, the fit hasn't been a problem so far. I had been looking for a plain and simple, lightweight, washable leather sneaker for knocking around the house and walking to the mailbox; a pair of classic low-top sneakers more durable than canvas. I'd rather have a new pair of my old sneakers, but these Keds Champion Leather Oxfords fill the bill. I'm decades beyond the schoolyard, so I don't think anyone is going to be teasing me for wearing "girly" sneakers. These look good, fit just fine and came at a reasonable price. All in all, I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase.

It's a Keds shoe... I've worn Keds for years - fits like Keds. I just wish it would come in 12.5 - the 12's are a tad small and I need two pair of socks with the 13.

These Keds are just like the ones I remember from years ago. They are comfortable, lightweight and go well with shorts, jeans or Capri pants. The leather makes them easier to keep clean than the canvas. If you get a scuff, just take a "Magic Sponge" and wipe it off. The arch support is good for such a light, low profile shoe.

Trusty "old" shoe - Can’t say anything more than it's a classic who has stood the test of time over and over again!

Comfortable but don't last long - Very comfortable and look great. Only problem I've had with them is that they start coming apart rather quickly where the sole and leather meet. I wear them for 8 hours a day while waitressing. I usually get about 6 weeks out of them before needing a new pair. Overall I would recommend these.

Very Convenient - Already knew what I wanted, and the size. Very convenient to have them appear on my doorstep the next morning

Shoes - I found the shoes to be comfortable but have a slight problem with the sizing in back. Because my foot is wide I ordered a wide but the back of the shoe is way too loose. I did put a pad in it which helped some but it still slips on my foot.

Where top meets the sole - On both sides of the shoe half way down from the toe, after awhile the top of the shoe starts to come away on both sides. Is there a glue I can use and why does this happen. I have bought about 5 pairs and it happens to every one.

A true classic - The only negative thing I can say about this shoe, is it’s less than great arch support. Don’t get me wrong you can wear them all day and still feel good at the end of the day, but be sure and rotate them with shoes that offer more arch support. All that said I plan on ordering another pair. You cannot beat the look of clean white Keds with capri pants :)

Classic Keds in a Leather shoe - Nice and warm for mild winter temps! This is an updated version of the original. I ordered the all black style in slim, and liked that it was all black, instead of black and white. It was a little wider than the traditional canvas fit. Also, the heel cup I must wear right now was not comfortable in it. I am holding onto them, though, as I will be glad to wear these shoes when I no longer need the heel cup.
