Customer Reviews Keds Champion Basic Slip-On

I usually wear a 9W/9.5M but this was too narrow near the toes and my heel was slipping out. I am returning these. It's sad because they could have been my staple during the coming hot summers.

I love these shoes! I'm a medical student, and I bought them to wear on the wards after wearing Keds slip-on shoes for years (not on the wards, of course!) At least at my institution, they look professional enough with business casual clothes and a white coat. A lot of people wear Danskos or comfortable flats; I think these look just as nice, and for me they're more comfortable. They are a little bit small, but in the past any canvas slip-ons that I've had would feel small and then stretch, so I think this is typical. I've only had them for a few days, but they feel the same as my other Keds slip-ons, and I've had those for a couple of years now (although admittedly they're sort of falling apart at this point). I would definitely buy again!

My 6th or 7th pair of Keds slip on sneakers. Hands don't work so I can't do up laces. True to size, ready-to-wear comfortable. I love them! Also their shipping speed is amazing.

Works great for my needs. I got them for walking my dog in the woods and doing goat chores. Soft and comfortable as soon as I put them on. I usually wear an 8/12 or 9 depending on the shoe. The 8 1/2 fit perfectly. I think I need a few more pairs in different colors.

I love these shoes, and I have three pairs! I wore these black Keds all over Europe for three weeks - and I walked miles each day. They were one of two pairs of shoes I took with me. They are good utilitarian shoes and are perfect with all types of clothing - from dresses to leggings. I garden in a white pair.

Very comfortable. I stand on my feet all day for work and love these shoes. There is a little bit of arch support that really makes a difference. Because they are all black and without laces, I can wear them with slacks and a dress shirt without being too obvious that I am wearing sneakers. Great choice if you need to be professional yet comfortable.

Love these Keds. Have worn them in white for years. Will probably buy them in navy at some point.

I like these a lot. They have arch support and a better sole than the Bob's Sketchers I bought. They fit true to size. I found them just a touch narrow.

I love Zappos! I purchased the Ked Basic Slip on and the Ked Canvas Slip on. The Basic Slip on was perfect, when the Canvas Slip on was a little wide for my feet. I normally where anywhere from a 10 to 11 shoe depending on the designer, and this shoe I purchased in a size 11. The Basic Slip on is a little roomy in the front, but the width is perfect. I'll be returning the Canvas Slip on!

Cute little shoes.... Normally wear a 9 but it was a little floppy so I switched it for the 8.5.

Love my Keds. They always fit and are so comfortable. I really like the black sole with the black shoe.

Nice shoes but very narrow. Great service provided by Zappos, I will return!

Great every day basic shoe. Somewhat stylish this season. The basic Ked in slip-on. Lightweight for travel.

Perfect addition to my shoe collection. I like the fact that the rubber edging is black and not bright white. These are a good transition from summer sandals to a shoe.

I was looking for a pair of women's sized, all black, comfortable slip-ons and I found them! I used to be able to get away with wearing slip ons from Payless, but dang, those shoes have zero support and made my feet/knees hurt! These Keds have enough support to prevent my feet and especially my knees from any discomfort. I normally wear a size 8, but with these I feel like one should go a half size down. I ordered both a 7.5 and an 8. The 7.5 fit perfect and I wear any slip ons without socks. There is enough room to slide in a basic insole too. Love my new Keds!

A great slip on shoe, with clean lines, a bit narrow on the bridge of the foot, they just need stretching out. I got these to have a simple pair of work shoes that wouldn't slip off, now only if they made these with non-slip soles I would be in love.

A little tight at the arch part of my foot but true to size. Low profile and good quality. My feet are little bigger right now due to my pregnancy.

Truly these are the TARDIS of shoes: bigger on the inside. They mysteriously make my feet look a size or two smaller than usual, despite fitting a half size larger than labeled. Spooky! Seriously, though, these are nice plain slip-ons I can wear with both casual skirts and jeans. They don't have the giant bumper sole of most slip-on sneakers, which tend to be skater-style, and that makes them feel a bit more girly. They are a true B width, which is refreshing since many companies seem to err on the wide side. The inside seams are smooth enough to wear without socks with no breaking-in period. Good job, Keds. I apologize in advance for painting your little blue tag black so I can feel like a ninja.

I have bought these every 4-5 months for the last 3 years but my last pair fell apart so much faster then usual... are they getting manufactured somewhere cheaper now... lower quality? hope not. giving them one more try. might need to just need to switch to TOMs!

Other reviewers had said that these sneakers run a half size large - this was not my experience. I generally wear a size 9, but ordered an 8½ they were definitely a half size too small! I am exchanging them for my usual size. I hope the larger size fits well, since the style is just what I want. Many brands have black slip-on sneakers with white soles, but I wanted a black sole: only Keds seems to make those. I appreciate Zappos' exchange and return policies!

I just recently bought these in April. My 3rd pair of Keds Slip-on. The other two pair I've had I been able to stretch them out to the point where they are very comfy after they would bug me at the beginning when I started wearing them but these hurt me at the top of my left foot and I don't feel them stretching. It's where the elastic is. I needed some good black flat shoes so I bought these. I am usually an 8 or 8 1/2 and I bought them size 8 since they do tend to stretch. From length I don't have a problem. I have plenty of space. I have a high arch so wearing these for a whole day that involves walking, my feet would hurt. I try to wear them just at work. The last two times I've worn them I've put a bandaid on the area where they hurt me on top. Both last pair I've bought them at Macy's is just that this time around they didn't have black on black bottom.

Style was as expected, but I wish the top was cut lower for a more modern look. The big problem was just how narrow and tight they are! I have other Keds that fit perfectly but I could hardly get these on. I was hoping these would be my comfy work shoes this summer.

I have been buying these same shoes for years and this latest pair is much tighter! Same great arch support, but the medium width fits like a narrow. Ouch.

They look nice but do not fit. They only come in one width, I think, and it is too narrow. But buying them smaller will not work because they are plenty long enough. I could not put them on with even an average pair of socks.

Cute shoe. But I almost always wear a medium/normal width shoe. These are very narrow and they don't seem to have a wide option. Sadly I'll be returning them. If you are a medium but on the larger side of medium, think twice.
