Customer Reviews Keds Champion Leather Lace Up

The shoes are comfortable, but make sure you wear dark socks with them, because they bleed all over lighter ones.

I usually have better experiences with a pair of Keds than this time. The weld around the edges gave way almost immediately but I don't wear them with socks so I am stuck with them!

Mary Litton - I wear this shoe almost 100% of the time I am not working. They look well with my slacks, easy to keep clean and they keep looking new for a long time as they do not lose their shape.

Needs cushioning - I liked the fit and look of this sneaker, but it really has next to no cushioning in the sole. I also purchased a pair of Keds Andie-Microstretch, and was quite please with the comfort and fit of those. I will be returning the Ked's Leather Champion.

OK keds - The black keds are not as comfortable as the white stretch keds. It would be better if they made the stretch keds in black too. The white ones are great. The black ones do not have the cushion in the bottom or the look. The black is too dull. But they are goos for shoes in the rain.

So disappointing! I have bought Keds black leathers for years and I love them. My current pair was getting older, so I ordered these new ones for a back-up. They were three times more expensive than in the past and the quality was totally different and horrible: their leather feels like cheap nylon; the soles are flat, not grooved like before; they look so cheaply glued together; they are narrower around the toes. I would return them if it wasn't so much trouble. I will try to wear them, but I am very unhappy with the quality.

This review is for the Champion Leather Lace Up as well as the Champion Canvas Lace Up, as they both suffer from the same problem. The fit is ok in the back half of the foot, even perhaps a little wider than necessary, but the area forward of the arch is narrow, and it's also too long - a very strange fit. The toe area is noticeably narrower and longer than Keds' Kickstart Lace Up, for example, which I've bought and worn for years without discomfort. I'm going to return the Champion model and order a new pair of Kickstart Ups instead.

I bought these shoes because I have a pair of black Keds that have been wonderful, but they are getting old, so I thought I would get another similar pair. These new ones cost over double what the first pair cost some years ago, and the workmanship is horribly shoddy. The leather is so thin that it feels more like nylon. They are cheaply glued together, and the sole is cheap, not like the grooved sole on my previous pair. The inside padding is way thinner than my previous pair. I am deeply disappointed with this purchase and the shoddy quality of what used to be a shoe that I loved. I have been getting these Keds for years, and have always loved them - until this latest, very expensive, very badly made shoe.

uncomfortable all over.

I checked my 7-8 year old keds and found out the problem with new version. Old version had 5 eyelets and longer laces-so wrapped around outer ankle for tight fit. New only 4 eyelets & Gapped at ankle and ankle slides out of heel. Bad design. Please show info to designer. Thank you. Same thing the other color/ style I returned.

They were horrible, they ruined my feet the first and only 3 days I wore them on my vacation. I had to run to a store and buy a pair of sneakers

I used to only wear Keds Champion Leather shoes years ago but these are not the same quality keds. They run larger and also run more narrow, even the extra wide was not wide enough. Miss the old shoes the way they were manufactured years ago, they look like the same style but not the same great fit.

The fit was not the usual fit I am used to.; I have been wearing Keds for years, but this pair squeaks when I walk, and it feels as though my foot is slipping.

The sneakers squeaked or creaked when I walked in them. I am not sure if it is the fit or the sneaker material, but it squeaks when I walk.

They are way too tight across the widest part of the foot. I can't wear them at all. I'm really disappointed. Keds is a good brand.

I expected more from $50 shoes. The material seems really cheap. I feel like if Payless shoes store was still in business I could find these exact shoes for $15

I've worn Keds for years and always size 10. Love this model. These are too big--wide, long. Maybe the style has been remodeled since my last pair. Worry that size 9 would not fit so I'm not reordering in size 9.

I usually wear size 8 1/2, but these are too big. I tried putting in insoles and cushions for the heel, I still slosh around in them. Big disappointment! Some time ago, I had Keds Spirit shoes and loved them, but not these Keds Champion!

What happened to next day delivery?

If you're looking for the sturdy leather Keds with thick bottom don't be fooled by these. They are light weight feel everything thru the soles shoes. Found the catalog pic and description very misleading.?

Ordered size 11, Received size 8

Because no arch support, this shoe was not comfortable to me. Returned.

These are not the keys I have always worn. They are a half size larger than indicated, poorly made, and the shape is off. They cut back on the leather, are too low and the backs are misshapen. Sent them back the next day.

This shoe was too large in my regular size.

OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These do not have the support of the older Keds! Killers for plantar fasciitis.
