Keds Womens Kickstart Lace Up Sneaker

I can’t say enough good things about these shoes! As a baseball mom who spends entire weekends at the field, comfort is non-negotiable and these absolutely deliver. They’re lightweight, true to size, super cushioned, and supportive enough to handle long days on bleachers, gravel, or walking between fields. I have wide feet and these fit very nice. What I love most is that they’re actually cute! They pair perfectly with jeans, leggings, or joggers. I’ve gotten so many compliments from other parents asking where I got them. No break-in period, no sore feet. They’ve officially become my go-to “baseball mom uniform” staple! Read more

I don't usually write reviews but I felt compelled to let anyone considering buying these adorable sneakers to just do it! They are comfy, fit well and look great. They are made of high quality materials. I am very happy with my purchase. They are the perfect accessory for baseball season! Read more

Typical Keds quality. Fit perfectly...maybe a bit snug. I figure they'll stretch once I wear them more. Xta long laces. People notice the design immediately! Really cute! Read more

These are great. Comfy, lightweight, and even have a bit of arch support that I don’t remember Keds having when I was younger. I’m in my mid-30s but have low back issues—long gone are the days that I can wear old shoes all day at work, or I’m limping by the time I get home and can’t do anything but lay down. These have made my back feel normal again, even after an 8-hour day or running around. I docked a star because the shoes arrived dirty. They were clearly still brand new—no wear on the soles, all texture perfectly intact—but it looked like the box had been left open in a dusty dirty warehouse, and I don’t think I’ll be able to clean where the dirt settled into the texture on the sides of the white soles. I didn’t return them because they’re shoes, they’ll get dirty and I can clean them myself, but it was super disappointing to pay for new shoes and receive dirty ones. Read more

Comfortable and look good. I keep buying once they get too dirty. Love them when they’re fresh. Read more

Ideal for narrow foot. Do NOT buy if you're flat-footed or have a wide foot. Super cute, always huge quality. I returned because I have a wide foot and the fit caused me pain. Read more

Who does not love their Keds? The canvas are so hard to keep clean and sometimes leave yellow rings when you wash them. These leather or pleather Keds wipe clean and look great all the time. There is no arch support but they do have a little memory foam padding so they are more comfortable than a no name brand of plain white sneakers. They look cute with most outfits,I like to wear them with no show socks so my feet do not sweat. Since they have no arch support, I wouldn't wear them on an 8 hour cobblestone walking tour. They are good for social events and trips with short walking since the leather upper is soft and pliable. The textured rubber soles provide no slip traction. Amazon occasionally has them offered at a fairly reasonable price depending on your size. I got them for $45 which I thought was a good price at the time. Read more

I really wanted a pair of white sneaks with gum soles, so I was really happy to see these. The price was good, they’re leather—why not? The good: they are true to size. The leather is thick enough to hold up without being stiff. The style looks good on my big ole feet, and is precisely the shoe I was looking for. The overall construction is good. The not-so: True to Keds in general, there’s not a lot of cush or arch support here. (FYI—the double-sole models DO have more cushion and are much more comfy.). It’s not like tying a board to your foot, but I definitely have more comfortable sneaks. The real loss of stars comes in the details, though. The tongue is not padded, so you have to be sure it’s smooth before tightening the laces. The collar is not padded either. This wouldn’t be a problem if the leather seam around the collar was sealed with tape, but it isn’t. (You can see this in the side photo here.). Thus, the cut edge of the leather rubs against your foot. Without something to shield it, I’m headed for a pair of blisters on the insides of the collar, just past my heel—and possibly elsewhere.) And yes, most of the time I’m not wearing socks. I have some extremely sticky yellow duct tape I’m going to experiment with, because I’m going to keep the shoes. Fingers crossed. Read more
