Keds Women's Champion Original Leather Lace-Up Sneaker

Comment

I bought a pair of these exact shoes (not from Amazon) in June of 2015 and they lasted over a year. I bought these shoes and in 5 weeks, they are already falling apart! Beware. Update: I returned the shoes to the manufacturer and the replaced them. The replacement is living up to my expectations.

I like Keds because they are less bulky than traditional sneakers and they provide a more feminine casual look. I generally prefer either sandals or something with a heel, so I didnt expect to wear these much. So far though, I am ecstatic. I had two hiking trips planned this past weekend and these Keds saved me from being a bloody mess at the end. I bought some hiking sneakers and wore them on the first hiking trip, two days ago. They continuously rubbed on the backs of my heels and caused a lot of pain and blisters. I was dreading wearing them for my second trip, so I wore these instead. They were cheap so I didnt really care if they got ruined or torn; I actually expected that and didnt go easy on them. I was surprised to see that they held up great and all I really had to do at the end of the day is clean a little dirt off. Not only are the shoes in great shape but my feet also feel awesome (no pain)! Granted, the bottoms of the shoes were not exactly great for gripping rocks and leaf-covered trails, but I expected that. Im just happy my ankles (and my Keds) arent torn up.

The quality of Keds has gone down the drain. How can you go wrong with a classic? Well, you can make them with the cheapest possible materials in the shoddiest way. Yes, these look (basically) like the Keds of yore, but these will not hold up. I bought the black "leather" in a 7-- I often run between sizes, but I figured I could wear thicker socks until the broke if I needed to do so. Turns out Keds no longer go as far up your foot as they used to-- stopping at about mid arch. The black leather looks cheap-- the black was wearing off in places after two wearings. They also stretched out-- a lot. After 10 easy wearings they look like I have owned them for years-- worn out, stretched out, no arch support at all. I cannot believe I paid this much for such junk.

My rating is based on a previous purchase of the same shoes. Ive been buying keds leather oxfords for Probably 25 years, because theyre comfortable and wear well. I was excited to find them in black at Amazon several years ago. This is my third pair and Im really hoping this pair lasts longer than the last pair. The last pair I got started coming apart at the seams almost immediately. The piece that connects the leather to the sole kept coming apart top and bottom. I kept super gluing them together, until I finally gave up and ordered another pair, because I was tired of wet socks and feet. If these do the same thing, itll be my last pair! Im hoping the last purchase was a fluke...if not, then keds may no longer be the quality that kept me buying them for 25 years. I hate to write a review based on a previous purchase, but I havent worn these ones long enough to give a rating on this purchase.

I love KEDS and have worn them for years. For me, it was Wonderful when I found them on sale during Amazons Prime Monday 07-11-2017!! It had been years since Ive bought a pair so, Unfortunately, I used their guide to measure my foot for sizing. I ended up with 3 pairs of shoes too large and when I wanted to exchange them for the correct size, I was told I had to pay full price. However, I still wear the same size shoe and when I finally got the correct shoe... at full price!! These shoes are AWESOME .. because I can wear them with shorts or a dress. I am Very Happy with these shoes.
