Customer Reviews Keds Champion Canvas Lace-Up

disappointed

Very disappointed in the fit, have tried tow different styles in the same size, one too big, one too small. Giving up.

Extra wide wasn't very wide. I had bought them before and they were much wider. So disappointing.

I bought two pairs of these sneakers, one white, one red. On closer examination I discovered that they were made in two different countries. The white were too small. The red were fine. I gave them to a friend who wears a size smaller.

Thin. Coarse. Not WW. No arch support.

I have very narrow feet. These shoes have worked for me for years. Comfortable casual and cute!

I wanted a thin lightweight shoe and always thought Keds were so cute, but longer than normal. I tried them after all these years again and yep, still way too long. Why are they so long? I had to return them.

I ordered a slim because I have narrow feet. When I wore them, they gave me a terrible blister which bled through my sock and the lining of the shoe also stained my sock. Since I wore them outside, I could not return them. Very disappointed. Also I found blisters on the bottom of my feet because there was so little padding.

I bought two pairs of these in two different widths, W and WW because I have W width feet and heard they ran narrow. My regular size is a US size 8, and per everyone's suggestions in the reviews, I bought a US 7.5. I'm very disappointed in the sizing and design of these shoes. They're incredibly narrow in the toe box and try to squeeze your toes up into an unnatural shape that was very uncomfortable to borderline painful for me. The heel area of the shoe however is incredibly wide to the point where my heel was slipping out of the shoe and the entire heel cup was just floppy extra fabric, even when fully laced and tied. This is not how shoes should fit. The quality of the constructed seemed very flimsy and looked cheap. Unless you have narrow feet, I would not recommend these to the wide-footed.

Skinniest extra wide I've ever tried. First I ordered a 7W. Way too narrow and too long. I remembered in the past I had to go down a half size. Then tried a 6-1/2 WW. They are no wider than the wide. They both fit like mediums. I wore these for years but these are totally different. The tongue is like half-tongue. Unfinished on the sides. And the fit is just awful. What happened! These were my faves!

These are way overpriced. This is the approximate price on several sites, so it is not just a Zappos thing. Makers of these Keds certainly have an inflated idea of the value of the product. There is no structure. The canvas is too soft to even hold the foot in. There is no bottom of foot support. I cannot be all negative so the color was right on.

This shoe is quite disappointing since I have had this same exact shoe in the past. Both were made in China however, this time the shoe is flimsy, thin scratchy fabric compared to my old ones. I WOULD NOT recommend this shoe if you are looking for the old keds. The price should be less for this lack of quality. I still may return them.

Severe allergic reaction! Keds uses a chemical in their shoes that can cause a blistering in rash in some people. If you wear them, be sure you wear socks.

The tongue of the shoes are cut off and do no extend to full length of inner shoe, plus they feel double sewn on the inside. These shoes are defective.

I replace my Keds every year or so and ordered these last June. I kept thinking something was wrong with me, but it is not me, it is these shoes. They are no longer the quality of the Keds that I have bought in the past. The round toe is not the same, the canvas is scratchy and hard, they are smaller relative to marked size and they offer no cushioning or comfort under my feet. I looked at reviews on the official Keds site this morning and there are a number of negative reviews with comments similar to mine. I have loved Keds for years and I am really disappointed that I just hate these shoes so much that I am giving them to Goodwill. I just ordered some Keens (the Maderas style) and I really hope they work.

I used to love Ked's Canvas shoes. They were perfect for a business casual dress code. Low profile, and comfortable for a day at your desk. But I can't say that anymore. Something has changed over the past year or two in the way Ked's makes their shoes. They're too narrow. However, if I get the wide ones, they're too big. The mediums used to fit perfectly! Now, nothing fits, no matter what size/width combination I try. The canvas material is also made more cheaply and is not as flexible when you bend your toes while walking. In fact, it rather hurts. The way the canvas is shaped makes the shoe look a bit clunkier as well. Finally, the padding for the sole isn't as soft as it used to be. All in all, Ked's makes nothing but cheap garbage. Sure, they used to not be the best for durability, but at least they fit and were comfortable! The sad part is, everyone else more and more is making shoes that don't fit. I don't know what to buy to replace my Ked's Canvas shoes! I was sad to have to return the Ked's to Zappos. Fortunately, Zappos is still top-notch. If only I could find a comfortable, low-profile shoe to order from them.

I've been wearing Keds Razzle brand for a couple of years and absolutely love them. So it's been really disappointing to find that not all Keds are created equal. The Razzle brand is a little wider and rounder through the toe, whereas the Champion brand is more pointed and very narrow even though I ordered a medium width. The width is noticeably wider on the Razzle in person, which is what my feet require when walking long distances to avoid pain and blisters. Unfortunately, Zappos only carries one color in the Razzle, so I will have to find them elsewhere, which makes me sad because no one can beat the customer service from Zappos.

This shoe will give you calluses because it is not formed for shape of female foot. It is flat on top and loose in the back plus there is no cushioning and it is very heavy. However the traction is all right.

Black tennis shoes - I would not recommend them. They were uncomfortable and lacked any support. I threw them away after 3 days.
