These shoes true to size. They are very comfortable. For sneakers, they are stylish. The style is unique for sneakers with the design of the lace area. I bought several colors.

My new favorite sneaks. At 71 I want to be current but not too trendy and these did the trick. I've worn them with jeans, a swing dress, a sundress ... you really can't do wrong. Comfy and very cute!

This shoe is so cute on the foot and I am impressed with the arch support. I usually need to wear orthotics because of a high arch but orthotics are not needed in these shoes. Six weeks after foot surgery, I wore them all day, right out of the box. Very light weight. Fit like most Keds. I wear 81/2 or 9 in all shoes. 81/2 fits best in Keds.

I have a difficult foot to fit. I wear a size 5 or 5 1/2 with a high arch. These were perfect!!! I purchased a 5 1/2, didn't wear socks (used talc powder). They were VERY comfortable and I did a lot of walking day one!

Keds run a 1/2 size large. I usually wear a 6.5, but bought these in size 6. I bought the black/black. These are comfortable and cute for wearing as every day sneakers. They are nicer than the standard style Keds, and a bit fancier. They come with 2 different colors of laces. Your feet will get hot in them, however.

I wear a 6 in Keds, although wear 6.5 in other shoes. The 6 fit me in these sneakers. They are comfortable and the style is cuter than the standard Keds sneaker. I bought navy, which goes well with jeans. These are a good buy, if on sale.

These were just what I was looking for a comfortable sneaker with a quiet but hip vibe. They are comfortable and well made.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Ked’s Kickstart sneakers ?? These were my 3rd pair of Kickstart Keds - different colors of course! I have Plantar Fasciitis in my right heel and wearing my Keds last summer cured that! I do wish they made more colors in the Kickstart style. Fit is great - secret is buying good no-show socks to help with the heel slippage. Recommend these very highly!

Cute sneaker and overall comfortable. It’s pretty snug so adding an arch support won’t work for me. I like it and it work for being on the go for a few hours but not sure about an all day affair. One earlier review was correct - the picture doesn’t match for the black. There IS a stripe like the navy picture.

I have had trouble finding a white casual sneaker that fits ! I am glad I looked at the reviews. I am a true size 7 and they fit perfectly.

These shoes are so comfortable! I’m usually all about Converse, but these Keds are far more comfortable than any pair of Converse I’ve ever owned. I was actually surprised at how cushy they were. I got the navy color, which is a nice bright, cheerful navy. They look great with both jeans and skirts. They come with both white and navy laces. I’m a true size 7 and these fit perfectly.

These are more comfortable than the original Keds. I wore them all day to an amusement park and didn’t have sore feet like I do in others.

I bought these to wear on vacation (lots of walking in a hilly small town). The shoes look great (white) and were comfortable out of the box. Not much arch support; but my feet and legs weren't tired after a long day walking around town. I wore Hanes "no show" socks with them and the socks did show. I wouldn't wear them without moisture wicking socks as your feet will perspire in them. Happy with my purchase and will wear them all summer.

These are my trusty, “it’s summer!” canvass shoe. I was pleasantly surprised to find a more cushioned, supportive insole this year. Nice! Don’t get me wrong: your podiatrist will still frown at you for wearing them, but they DO have more support and cushioning than in prior years. Thumbs up!

I bought these in white size 6 to travel to Europe as my walking around shoes. I range between a 5.5 and 6 depending on the brand and I could have definitely gone down to a 5.5, but might keep the extra half size up. I also bought the all white Keds Champion all canvas CVO's and I'm currently deciding between the two. These definitely fit slightly wider than the CVO's and your typical keds but still normal with no need to adjust sizing. These Kickstarters provide more support than the CVO's as the sole is about 1/4 inch thicker with more padding. The arch support is limited but I think a super cute shoe to go with sundresses. The all canvas topping will likely get dirty easily so that would be my main con. That, and you need no shoe socks to wear with them.

loved the shoes tried them on and were super comfortable from the first wearring. although it does have orthholite lining would have liked more arch support but its definitely a step up from similar styles. Great price point! Would purchase again!

Love my Keds!! They are true to size and comfortable. I have tried other brands of this look and none are as satisfying. Plus these cost less! I wore them for an all day trip into New York City..no feet issues (which is rare for me) Also like that they are lightweight.
I'd also recommend:
Clarks, Naturalizer, Cobb Hill

Super cute, a little narrow and I have narrow feet. After wearing with thicker socks, stretched out and are now comfy. Looks good with summer dresses or jeans.

These were comfortable after a couple wears. Got a lot of compliments on them. They're way more comfortable than Chucks, and give off the same vibe. On my second day wearing them, I was working on my feet for about 11 hours straight and, while no shoe REALLY holds up for 11 hours without hurting, these did pretty decently. Better than the Merrells I wore for the same amount of time the day before. Super cute. Will be buying a pair in black, too. A comfortable classic.

Quite long and quite narrow for a 6.5 medium. I got a pair of Vans at the same time and in the same size (different color) and love them. Vans it is.

Very comfy. Just as stylish as chucks but nicer in my opinion. Hard to keep clean. Works well with many outfits.

These Keds Kickstart sneakers are so cute and comfortable. I wore them to London last week and they felt so good on my feet. They are very true-to-size and width. I will definitely purchase them again in another color.

I bought these for a trip to Las Vegas, where I knew I would be doing a lot of walking. These are much cuter than the original Keds and although they don't have a lot of arch support (they are casual sneakers after all), the insoles are cushioned and very comfortable. It feels like you are walking on a pillow. This is a rich navy color and goes well with jeans, shorts, skirts. They are true to size and after 3 days of walking, I have no complaints. They were comfortable right out of the box and did not need any breaking in time. I am looking into purchasing other colors. I definitely recommend these as a great casual alternative to flats. They came with two sets of laces (white and navy).

Very cute shoe that will go with anything. Kickstart has a little more personality than plain white sneakers. You can't go wrong with Keds. I have become addicted to them because of all of the patterns and colors they offer. They are comfortable too and you don't have to worry about pedicures when you wear them.
