I haven't worn Keds since I was a kid, but I saw a cute pair on Instagram today, so I checked out the site. I thought the prices were a bit high for the kind of shoe they are, but quality varies, so I'm asking are Keds worth the price ?

Re: Question for Keds wearers

Keds in my opinion are made for Kids. They are very uncomfortable. No arch support, your feet sweat. Would not buy no matter the price.

Re: Question for Keds wearers

I used to love Keds but the inside foot bed changed around 5 years ago and they no longer have any arch support.  The exterior quality is fine but the foot bed is no longer super padded.   For fashion use they are OK but they are not good to wear if you are going to be doing a lot of walking.

Re: Question for Keds wearers

I love Keds! I bought 2 pairs of lace up shoes from Hsn last month and 1 pair from their website. I always buy them on sale. 

I got a grey pair, black chambray that looks charcoal and black with tiny red flowers on them. On Hsn they are called keds maven fabric lace up with great reviews, 29 bucks. I don't have an issue with arch support and the material is very soft and comfy. 

My mom wore Keds all the time and I still have some of hers, we wore the same size.

I find the soles too thin and the amount of support lacking. I've had to pass on these.

Re: Question for Keds wearers

I love Keds and wear many years....have a few pairs and enjoy them. My feet do not hurt me. They have a 20% off sale right now but it ends soon.

Yes, they are padded for comfort too. 👍

So many styles to pick from which I like. They now carry W width. I wear my basic size 7.

Re: Question for Keds wearers

Keds got so popular again back in the late 80's and early 90's.  When I was a stay at home Mom during that time I had more Keds in my closet than panties in my drawers.  Every color, every print and a mix of leather and canvas.  Loved those things. Now I only have one gray canvas lace up pair.
