Customer Reviews Keds Champion Canvas Lace-Up

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.
