Customer Reviews Keds Kickstart Lace Up

Felt like there was a defect on the sole in the front of the right sneaker .

Fit much better then the other kickstarts. No gaping.

Love the sneakers, but had to return them. They are not real comfortable and they slide up and down the heel when I walk.

Love the style of sneaker

Overall pleased with these shoes, however Zappos needs to update their description and video of the item. The shoes are NOT perforated on the sides as described, as well as called out and pictured in the video.

A nice dainty sneaker, not as super tiny and dainty as the old oxford canvas shoe, but close. I don't agree with the reviews that this shoe runs huge. I went a half size smaller based on these reviews and wish I hadn't. The leather is a little stiff, but I think they'll settle in to being more relaxed and comfortable. I hope.

This shoe is very cute, comfortable but a bit long. Unfortunately the sole is slippery Keds has not improved this in a long time

Better than expected with a decent arch and laces are good for narrow feet. Surprisingly good for long walks.

Love these! I do feel like they run a little small/narrow. I'm usually a size 5, but probably could have benefitted comfort-qise from getting a size 5 1/2.

I have super sensitive feet to every bump and seam. The inside of these shoes feels like thin, stiff paper. Extremely uncomfortable for me.

These shoes are soooo cute, but the heels are so wide they rubbed on my heel immediately. I normally wear 8.5, ordered 8.5 and 9 and both had huge heels. The 8.5 would have been perfect if the heel hadn't been so wide.

Too stiff and gaping being that the laces seem be higher up the arch area of the foot.

leather stiff and there is gaping at the top where it laces.

Love these sneakers, but the heel slides up and down when walking. Returned.

Instep slightly narrow for a medium width, which is good for me since I wear a narrow size. However, the heel was more like a wide width. The shoes are very cute, but even with an insole, the heel was too wide for my narrow foot.

Cute shoes but they just weren't comfortable enough on my feet to walk around in. My normal size (6) fit just fine lengthwise and for the front part of the foot. The heel seemed oddly wide, though -- my heels slipped out and moved a little sideways, and the sole was stiff enough the whole shoe then moved oddly on my foot. They were fine for standing, but any distance if walking was uncomfortable and put pressure on my knees. Too bad, because again, they looked great and I would have loved to keep them. Similar styles in both Frye and Taos worked much better for me.

Shoe is very stiff. I need a narrow but since they are rare I thought I could compensate by lacing them tighter. That didn’t help much. Still slips on heel.

I would like to say I love these but they are terrible toe squeezers. Sooooo narrow even for a normal foot. Zappos, please notify me if these ever come in wide. Thank you.

These sneakers really do fit narrow. I don’t wear a wide shoe, but in order for these to work at all, I had to really loosen up the laces, which made the shoe look bloated and made my foot look wide and ridiculous. It’s unfortunate, because if these did not fit so narrow, they would have been a great casual wardrobe staple.

Although many reviews said these fit narrow, I was hoping they’d be okay for me because, although my feet definitely aren’t narrow, I never need to wear wide. Well, I should have listened to the reviews. These fit so narrow. They’re arguably wearable if I loosen the laces, but then the widened laces make my foot look wide and I worry about how my feet will feel if I try walking much in them. If these came in a wide with (they don’t) I’d definitely order.

I wanted so badly to keep these! They were super cute and a great casual shoe, but they were super big on me (I'm normally a size 10 and I would have needed a size 9.5 or even 9), but the big problem was that the shoe would slide off the back of my ankle, even with the correct size. Unfortunately I had to return because of that.

I loved the way these looked, a very cute and sleek sneaker. However, they did run a bit large (I'm usually a size 10 and a size 9 or 9.5 would have been better). The biggest issue for me, though, was that the heel slipped off my foot. I tried sizing down a couple of times, and that didn't help, the heel would sip with every step I took. Too much of an issue, so I had to return.

the wrong shoe was sent to me. I am returning the Keds slip on white shoe that was sent in place of the Keds Kick start tie shoe

Love white tennies (not athletic shoes) for summer. Thought these would fit the bill. But not comfortable at all. Hardly bends, not soft. Returning these and still seating for the perfect pair.
