Customer Reviews Keds Champion Canvas Lace-Up

I just wanted a basic little ked and that is what these are. I got a blister on my heel first time I wore them. They are a little stiff but I think that will get better with wear and washing. Of course it doesn't have much arch support so I wouldn't recommend wearing on long walks.

I ordered half a size smaller and the fit was perfect. Unfortunately after wearing only an hour, without socks, I got a blister on my heel. Wearing socks may have prevented this but that is not why I bought these particular shoes. I am returning them.

I like the look of these shoes on, but it's been a work in progress to wear them. Anticipating that I would need a bit of extra padding for the insole, I got a bigger size than usual & I'm really glad I did. I ended up w/1 3/4 insoles which turned out to be just the right amount of cushion for me. I'd hoped to wear them barefooted, but the inside of the tongue had a scraping effect, so I purchased footlet-type socks & that did the trick. Next, I decided that I didn't care for the white-on-red effect of the laces & I bought red laces. Now, several adjustments later, I'm pleased I made the purchase.

Very disappointed. I ordered the 7 1/2EE (just to make sure it would be wide enough) but it was too tight with socks and too long. I normally wear 7 1/2 or 8E but this felt more like a size 8 or 8 1/2M. I love you Zappos just the same as always. Will try something else.

When I originally ordered a 7 I had to re-order a half size down because my foot was slipping inside the sneaker. I dirtied these sneakers once in the rain (didn't know it was going to rain that day) and I haven't been able to wear them since even though I scrubbed them, washed them had I known they were so delicate I would have thought twice. Maybe cleaners next time? But I love them so much I might re-order.

I used to wear these shoes as a kid, and find their style charming and classic. I usually fit about a 7C, and after finding that the 7D was too long and too narrow, I tried various different sizes and widths to try to get a good fit. But these never really fit quite right, and my adult feet never found them comfortable. I also found that the production quality quite poor. In one pair I ordered, the insole was off center, making the shoes unwearable; and on another pair the rubber trim around the bottom was tight, making a wider width feel smaller than the narrower one in the same size. For the price, these classic Keds might be a good shoe for some people, but these were not a winner for me.

I normally wear a 7.5W, which is the size I ordered. The width was perfect, but the shoe was a full size too big in the length. These are fun, iconic shoes, and for that reason I gave them 4 stars for style.

Unfortunately, I was not able to wear these as they were way too narrow. I ordered a WW and they were no way near a WW. They do look cute, though, and probably would have been comfortable if they had fit.

I usually wear a 6.5 and my feet are a little wide. Based on the reviews, I ordered a 6 wide. They are too big. I think I will go with a size 5.5 wide.

I love these shoes. They're super comfortable and are great for daily wear. However, after 9-10 months (worn a few times a week on average) there are giant holes in the heel/soles of both shoes, causing huge, painful blisters on my heels. I'll need to replace them, but I generally expect shoes to last longer than this. Seems like the shoe is built very cheaply for it to just cave in & fall apart like that. Does everyone else feel like these shoes need to be replaced once a year? Is that normal?

Cute and comfortable, but not much support. I think they're great for just kicking around the house, but if I'm doing any serious walking I need a more substantial shoe. Love the fact they come in wide sizes!

I haven't had a pair of Keds for over ten years. I loved them then, and have to say they haven't improved. The canvas is lighter weight and the soles are thinner. The biggest disappointment was to learn they are no longer machine washable. They are comfortable but won't hold up to wear and tear.

These fit well, BUT THEY CHANGED THE STYLE! It is so dumb now. There is an ENORMOUS "KEDS" splayed across the tongue of the shoe; also, the part on the back where it had been nice and subtle is now enormous "KEDS". Very sad!

Keds are cute but I don't know how people where these without socks! I wore these for a month and washed them so many times. I had to throw them away after a month. But maybe they work for people whose feet stay dry without socks. I really wanted these to work because I love canvas sneakers but they weren't very comfortable without socks.

I want to like Keds, but every time I purchase a pair I have shoe regret. They just don't fit my feet - the regular shoes are too narrow for my toes and the wide gigantic. They are cute, but I wish I would have returned them prior to my walk around the block.

Curious problem with this shoe in navy. I have the black so decided on a navy pair. Order came but shoe looked like steel grey-blue, definitely not navy. Called customer service -- great as usual -- and asked for another pair to see if maybe mine was mismarked. One I got first made in Mexico. Second pair arrived, a little more navy looking but still mostly grey. This one made in China. But here's where it gets weird -- shoe -- in same size -- so big I could stick my finger behind my heels. And then when I searched for other brands in navy sneakers, the Keds version does not even appear under "navy" options. Keds has some quality control issues.

Shoe was not for me. I have large feet and I thought maybe they would make them look smaller but instead made them look about two inches longer. The shoe felt very comfortable and its great they offer it in wide but I had to return them simply because they made me feet look even bigger and they weren't cute with skinny jeans.

They're very cute and true to size but not comfy. Not a lot of arch support and they gave me serious blisters in weird places (the top of my foot - I guess the material is too stiff).

I had to return these shoes because they just did not fit. I ordered the wide knowing that is what I needed but it was still too narrow. Very old school and fun, wish I could have kept them.

Did they get more narrow since I was a kid, or did my feet widen at the toe? Either way, have to ship back.

Ow. I got these in EE -- Extra Wide in a size 8.5. I also had some other widths on hand to compare since I wasn't sure if the EE would be too wide, but oddly enough, it was the same width as a size 9 Wide. I think these are cute and look good with a pair of slouchy skinny jeans, and they remind me of the first day of school. However, they kill my feet. I have tailor's bunions -- bony knobs on the outside of my feet rather than normal bunions that are on the big toe. After an 8 hour day (mostly sitting!), my bunions were very unhappy. I even made sure to wear them with double-layer coolmesh socks to reduce friction...nothing helped. And now that I've worn them out, I can't even return them. Sigh. Maybe it's time to invest in one of those shoe stretcher things.

I bought these shoes because I wanted a simple casual shoe. I ordered a 9 and usually wear a 9 in narrower shoes. If I am buying slip-on's I'll order an 8.5. These shoes turned out to be a bit big, so I am going to return them. All in all, they look like the Ked's I use to wear when I was 6.

Pretty comfortable. Basic Keds. I like the khaki color because they go with almost any casual color.

The medium width is too small for me and the wide is too big. The shoes also have zero support. I should have spent more and gone with Easy Spirit.
