Customer Reviews Keds Champion Canvas Lace-Up

What in the HECK happened?!?! Clearly, I'm not the only one with the sudden gigant-o length! I've been wearing these things for a number of years and they were so consistent on size and fit! Every single summer I buy a new pair! Imagine my surprise when the god-awful expensive shoe suddenly fit like JUNK! No..I do NOT expect a Walmart brand ripoff fit for this price tag and, quite honestly, I might just bag it and buy the ripoffs. At least I know what I'm getting and saving about 40 bucks on the process. Absolutely NOT acceptable!

I knew these wouldn't have arch support, but I ordered a wide and hoped they would have a little more wiggle room than they ultimately did. They fit, but I would have to wear them barefoot, which I don't want to do.

I bought these to get me through a vacation, because I needed sneakers quickly and not too expensive. I was really disappointed in the complete lack of arch support. They hurt my feet to wear for too long if I was doing any walking at all.

The shoes were very uncomfortable for me. They rubbed on my heel and at the end of the day being on them they killed my heels. There is not a ton of arch support. At first they were comfortable though!

I have always loved Keds sneakers, when they still had the terry cloth interior. The inside is now the same canvas as the exterior, and must be coated with something I am allergic to! The first day out in these shoes, I got caught in the rain and the tops of my feet (not covered by the footie socks I was wearing) completely broke out in a rash that lasted almost three weeks! Otherwise these shoes are great. Just wear them with full socks if your skin is even the least bit sensitive.

These shoes are so narrow and short. Honestly, I'm crazy about them. I wish they weren't so narrow!

I returned them, as they were not a wide width, let alone the extra wide I'd ordered. This is a brand with a good reputation, cutting corners to make shoes that are useless for this customer. They should be ashamed.

Cheaper made but more expensive than the Grasshoppers that Keds used to make. No padding around the back of the heel. Heel slips up and down because of this. Rough inside rubbs foot.. . They should have discontinued the keds and kept the grasshoppers. Or just make the keds like the grasshopers. Also need narrow widths.

They run rather narrow. I'm usually an EE, and when I first pulled these shoes out of the box, I thought they'd sent the wrong width! Checked the box, and nope, they were the "extra wide." Also, while there's a lovey, cushy insole, there is no arch support. Bought these as casual shoes to go with a sundress when it's too cold for sandals, and while the lack of arch support might be tolerable, these are just too narrow. According to a friend who loves Keds, this is how they run as a brand, so if you're already familiar with the brand, you're set. However, if you're used to other brands (I usually wear Brooks with my scrubs), though, consider ordering a size wider than usual.

I haven't had a pair of keds for years. I decided to buy a pair to wear this spring when I go to California on vacation. I was so disappointed in the look and quality of these keds. It seems that they are made very cheaply and the canvas seems to be thin and flimsy. There is no way I could walk any distance in these shoes. I'm sending them back for a refund.

This shoe only holds up for two to three months tops if you wear them on a regular basis. They aren't worth the price for how much wear you get out of them. Around the two month mark the sole started peeling away from the canvas and they look junky. For roughly$45 dollars a pair I would expect them to look nice for longer.

While these sneakers are stylish with great colors they are not supportive. Very flat and hard feeling. Because I wear a brace for foot drop it is important that the foot bed be removeable. These are not removeable. As a result I was unable to insert my brace and they went back. Sorry.

The toe box is too narrow, and the sole is a little thin.

The length was perfect but although I ordered the EW the width is just too narrow for me. I normally wear zero-drop shoes so was I fine with the light arch support . Had to return because of the width problem.

Almost too narrow and way too long! I would reorder a size down, but it would still be too narrow.

I thought the price was a little steep. The quality not what I expected for that price. The fit seems right but I do not think that they will take much wear.

These shoes don't hold up. After about 6 months of once weekly normal wear, the sole began to unglue, and the trim around the bottom started to come off. I've bought a lot of Keds in my life, so this was highly disappointing. I'm going to find another brand of sneakers.

I'm not sure who is in charge of quality control, but I think that shoes shouldn't easily develop holes after just a little bit of wear and tear. They went from being so tight they left wounds, to falling apart within a month. These things are extremely flimsy and clearly not fit for everyday use.

I bought this canvas shoe to accommodate the ankle brace I need to wear for a few weeks. I ordered a half size larger and wider then my usual size. These were a joke. They were the narrowest shoe I've ever seen. I couldn't get my foot even halfway into the shoe without the brace on. I was tempted to order it even wider, but I suspect it will still be ridiculously narrow. Keds ain't what they used to be.

I was very disappointed with the Keds Champion of today. What used to be a durable, stylish, elegant all around summer shoe is now a cheap imitation of the terrific former version that was made in Korea. Everything about the Champion has been cheapened. The canvas is thinner, the sole is thinner and not well put together, the inside construction of the shoe isn't as durable and comfortable, the eyelets are noticeable and silver and the laces are smaller and thinner. The shoe looks and feels cheap when you compare them to former versions. It is a real disappointment to see how poorly these shoes are made now. When you put them on you can tell they are poorly made by the way they bend and wear and you can feel the ground through the bottom of the shoe. These are not the good quality of the Keds Champion from years ago.

My foot is a true 6 WW. I always have to get a 7 1/2 D in order to get one wide enough. Seems everyone thinks that this shoe is longer and bigger. I have to ask, just got too. Do you wear a narrow width?!! I had to stop wearing these when I was a teen. Now I know why. This shoe is too narrow and the arch support is practically non-existent. I know that W means "wide". Sometimes it's D, sometimes it's a C. There is a difference. Someone like me can't wear a C, I need a D.

Though I wanted these to fit and just be a fun shoe . These are not a EW width, they have no support, which I knew...but, for the price they are listed. I was disappointed.

The size was correct, but I ordered EE/WW width. The shoes and the box said WW, but the width wasn't more than a C width. This is standard for Keds. I ordered them before and the same thing happened. I was hoping the company had changed over the years. No such luck. I will be returning these. ??

Sorry, but I do not like the shoes. I like the color but that is it. My toes cramped after wearing them hour or so.

Bummer. I really wanted these Keds to work because they are so cute. The sizing is way off. I exchanged them for a smaller pair, they still don't fit correctly. Zappos customer service as always gets an A+. Shoes get a bummer.
