This is vintage Keds. I'm an adult with small feet and orthotics. These worked well to accommodate them and are very comfortable.

This is a great go-to shoe for spring and summer for kids. Lots of schools/camps require a closed-toe shoe, but big, ol' clunky sports shoes in neon colors don't always pull an outfit together. The canvas Champion CVO gives a clean, fresh look to most spring/summer outfits and fits the requirement of a closed-toe shoe. I would have given this five stars except keeping them clean is a pain. Even running them through the washer doesn't get the black asphalt from school playgrounds out of the canvas. In addition, the aglet, the plastic thing-y on the end of the shoelace that keeps it from unraveling, falls off pretty quickly which means the fibers unravel and re-lacing the shoe becomes impossible for a child.

Classic and cute white shoes. Got them for my daughters Hip Hop routine but definitely glad she can wear them again. My only complaint is that they ran big so I had to exchange them.

This shoe was exactly what I expected. My daughter needed them for walking with dancers in a parade. We ended not needing them but they fit very true to size. I'm not sure how well they would be for support but in my opinions this style of Keds is consistent with the style from when I wore them as a child. The best part is how quickly they arrived. Ordered Monday...received on Tuesday.

Needed this sneaker for a jazz number in my daughter's dance recital. Sneaker size runs consistent with the size my daughter takes in flat ballet type shoes. Her running sneakers (e.g., Nike) need to be a bigger size. Sneakers arrived fast and were perfect. Thanks Zappos.

Keds Kids Original is an American Classic perfect for any "Kid" or adult for that matter. The narrow profile and lightweight material make them flexible and comfortable right "out of the box" without a breaking in period. They do run a good 1/2 size larger than "sized" but that allows for the rapidly growing foot of most children and even so they can be laced snugly so they don't slip on the foot. This summer staple is fun, whimsicle and comfortable!!

A very light shoe with nice canvas material. Bit narrow. But I expected better overall quality.

My daughter has worn these 4-5 days a week since they arrived at the end of February. While I know shoes don’t last forever, I am a little disappointed that the sole is coming apart on the side after 2.5months of wear. She does love them though.

I purchased because I do like the Keds Champion tennis shoes which I have several in the white canvas. For some reason, they are NOT the same as the white ones. The style is different as well as the fit. Because I have been searching for a black tennis shoe, I was excited to see these on line. Unfortunately, I discarded the box too soon , so am not able to return them. So sorry

Nice sneaker but not very wide as I would have liked for my 6 year old. I kept them because she needed them for a school play but I doubt she will wear them again.

Even though the shoe comes in Wide if you choose the wide selection, the shoe is not wide at all, it is very narrow and I had to return them because my daughter's feet did not fit properly.

I had to send these back because they were significantly larger than the stated size. I am very sure of this: I am 71 and have been wearing a size 2.5 child's shoe for over fifty years. Other shoes in size 2.5 fit me, but these did not. They are long and I cannot tighten them up across the instep because they are too wide. the Keds company should get with the program and use the standard dimensions, not their idiosyncratic interpretation of the sizes.

These are nice simple shoes with a grownup look, which is important to me because I am 66 years old but wear a children's size. However, they are perhaps too functional-looking: in black, they resemble referee's shoes. I was hoping for a Free Spirit look, since Free Spirit does not make shoes in my size. But the principal reason I sent the pair back ix that the shoes are too small for a true size 2.5. I have worn that size for decades and so I regard my feet as a stable standard for size 2.5. Hence I advise potential purchasers of this shoe to order a size up.
