Customer Reviews Keds Kids Kickstart Core (Toddler/Little Kid)

These are very cute shoes, and my daughter was comfortable in them immediately. No heel blisters (which happens sometimes with Keds). They look a bit narrow, but my 5-year-old (who has average width feet) hasn't complained at all. One thing to point out: make sure you read the description because these are actually velcro-closure shoes, not tie. I bought them so that I could teach my daughter how to tie her shoes, but the laces are stitched shut. Instead, the front of the shoe opens opens up from velcro on the side. No complaints here: it's very convenient because she can put the shoes on herself; I just didn't realize that's how they worked (need to use my reading skills better).

Great shoe and was comfortable to wear throughout Disney

These shoes are the cutest! I love how my daughter can put them on by herself because of the sneaky velcro on the side of the shoe! The color is cute and versatile, so they go with so much! My daughter says their comfy, they must be because she wears them quite a bit and so far they have held up.

This is the second pair I've purchased for my granddaughter. They're darling shoes that seem to go with most everything. They're easy to get on but look like big girl shoes. She loves her sparkly shoes!

Nice shoe but like the classic k Keds better for my 2 yr old granddaughter

This is the 2nd pair I have purchased for daughter for school. Goes with everything and very comfortable. Will be buying them every year.

This shoe is adorable and easy enough for my three-year-old to put on herself. Will definitely be buying these again when she needs next size up.

I have been looking for the favorite pair of Keds for my 4 year old and these were perfect and comfy!

Appeared a bit large, but still safe and functional for my 3-year-old to wear. Adorable!

Fit and style good.

Loved these for back to school! The color is great and goes with everything. She usually complains about new shoes hurting and these didn’t bother my 5 year old at all.

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

These shoes fit for a shorter time period (4ish months) than the expected 8-10 months (2yo for reference). They are pretty narrow and the shoes holds itself together by Velcro on the entire lace spine of one side. As your kiddos feet grow pulling the Velcro fully across the top of the foot gets more difficult and the Velcro doesn’t sit flush with the part it’s attaching to (maybe we have high arches). However, for a few months at the start of fall these shoes worked great, are true to the color in the pics and easy to get on and off. I ordered one size up in this style.

The fit and size were very accurate. The durability of the Keds brand gave diminished over the years. They certainly don’t last so paying 50$ for children’s shoes just isn’t worth it.

They're cute but the leather has not held up as well as other Keds. The velcro closure is excellent.

These shoes are adorable, but ran very narrow for my 18mo old. We tried both her regular size and sizing up, but neither worked. Sadly, had to return.

Shoes felt true to size and width. This shoe has not lived up to the Keds name. The insole are crap after 4 weeks (I think) and the eyelets are coming off too. This shoes are horrible .

Very cute shoe however ran small in size. If you child has a wide or fat little foot, these will not work at all.

Super cute shoes, but they stretched out right away and fell apart after 2 months.
