Customer Reviews Keds Kickstart Lace Up

Heel rubs in back without socks or with very low cut socks. Otherwise great fitting shoes. Comfortable and less bulky than similar styles from other brands. I would buy again.

These shoes are super cute and felt comfortable right out of the box. I have a wide foot but the B width fits fine and even make my feet look narrower than they are. Like other canvas sneakers that I've tried, they do not have as much arch support as I would like. Even so, I've been able to wear them for 10 hour days and my feet haven't felt too fatigued. I use a standing desk and also move about a lot during the day and these shoes have enough cushioning to withstand that. Also, although they are sneakers, they're nice looking enough (I got the black/black) that I felt fine wearing them to work in a professional office. I brought other shoes to change into after my commute but never took them out of my briefcase.

If you want a tennie that you can wear all day with support and looks Converse like, get the Taos. Fantastic shoe. But this Ked is the cutest of all. Wish it had more support but for wearing around town, with jeans or skirts this shoe can't be beat. Comfy enough for casual walking. Just adore the look. Wish it came in more colors like grey. Ordered several pair of white tennis shoes, and this is the one I am keeping. Again, it doesn't have the support for heavy duty walking but is darling and the fit and looks are fab.

Cute, cute shoes! I need inserts in most shoes, and while these don't have removable insoles, I was able to fit some Dr. Scholl's insoles in without the heel beginning to slip. For comparison, I tried some Soft Soles, but they didn't work well at all -- too much heel slippage. There is plenty of room in the toebox, and the long lacing makes them very adjustable. They look like they will be narrow, but they fit well (I have a pretty average medium-width foot). What I like best is that they are a stable shoe; while there is no motion control, there is very little wobble when your foot hits the floor. Overall, I'm please with my purchase!

Really cute shoes!Not the MOST comfortable shoes, but they don't really hurt either.( They're just not the best if you are walking around all day.) My foot is wide, but not fat, and if these shoes were any narrower, they would be too uncomfortable to wear. I like that they come with both colored and white laces and that they don't have the white rubber toe cap like the Converse style.

These are cute in a tomboyish sense. They are comfortable, but not the most comfortable sneakers that I have worn.

had high hopes for these, as they are thicker than the classic Keds and have a thicker sole. I liked that the edges were reinforced and the shoe itself was pretty sturdy. It was going to be a nice change from my usual Vans or Converse shoes that i usually get. But, Keds sizing is soooo off; bought the recommended zappos size according to my current shoe size and the Keds site was no help with sizing guides (most sites have precise guides to help you find the right size for your feet in inches/cm), so I ended up with a shoe a whole size too big. My foot was slipping out of the opening even when i put in an insert and thick sports socks. The "medium" width was innacurate; it was sooo narrow, even for shoes that were already a whole size too big! I guess 'medium' width is basically 'narrow,' instead of like 'regular,' but I bought another Keds shoe in wide and it was like wearing canoes on my feet. Other brand websites give you very precise instructions for sizing their brands, but with Keds? Good luck. Thank goodness for free returns here.

The only problem is that I thought the shoes came with both black and white shoe laces according to your website. This pair of shoes came only with black.

I thought these shoes were really cute but had to return them. I normally wear a 9.5 but these were too big for me. I have long narrow feet and this shoe is also long and narrow, so my feet looked huge. I think they would be really cute on smaller, well proportioned feet. I ordered the Vollie II instead and they are much more flattering with my foot shape.

When I tried them on in my home they seemed comfortable. When I wore them out they tore my heel apart. I'm not thinking they will break in. Should be made better for the price. IMO

Nice shoe, a simple clean canvas sneaker, but much too narrow though marked as medium width. Had to return

Too Narrow - way too narrow- cute looking shoe - But back they go!

These are my daily wear shoe and I am big walker (about 8 miles on a day on the weekends). I do have high arches so I add an insert for arch support, but the cushion is comfortable on it own. My complaint is that they no longer seem to make/carry the black upper/black sole combo anymore, and that's was my favorite color scheme.

Fit was fine

love these shoes. can wear with lots of different things. very comfortable and cute too!

Sturdy, fit well and are very comfortable.

These shoes were too large.

This is a really cute shoe. I wear a narrow and I can lace it tight enough to accommodate my foot. I ordered an 11 hoping it would work but it is too long. I need a 10.5 and this shoe sadly does not come in that option.

they are flat and with flat feet it's just what I needed.

Fits true to size. White sneakers with a perfect flare.

Love that they come with 2 sets of laces. A little stiff at first but should break in. A bit narrow, but okay.

I wanted a white shoe with some style or color on the sole. This met both criteria. I love them as they are very comfortable and true to size.

I wear these all the time for my retail job. Comfortable and I like the insoles.

They are so stiff I cannot wear them due to a bunion, they have a seam right in the same place.
