Why do I like KEDS?

Why not! What isn't there to like about KEDS!?! I'll just list a few good reason for anyone,

Male or Female, to wear KEDS:


1. They go with everything.

2. They come in a wide range of colors and sizes.

3. They are durable.

4. They can be packed in small spaces so you can take as many pair as you want on a trip.
 

5. When dirty, they can be thrown into the washing machine and don't need any special care.

6. They have a simple classic look that never goes out of style.

7. They have non-slip rubber soles for rainy days or wet floors at the mall.

8. They are inexpensive.

9. They look GREAT, especially with Bobbie Socks or Pantyhose (even barefoot).

10. "They Feel Good."
 
 

My KEDS Collection:

(note: the pictures aren't necessarily placed next to the description)
 

 
 
 
 

White aah...KEDS. These are my favorite. Like their cousins the white champion oxford, they can be worn with virtually anything. I prefer them with white bobbie socks, shorts and a tee. I also can be seen quite often wearing them with women's jeans or khaki slacks, pantyhose and a polo shirt or blouse. I also really like the "Country" look of white socks, barely there Hanes Resilience pantyhose and a blue denim skirt or dress with a white top.

Black aah...KEDS. Another versatile pair of shoes. These look really good with a pair of women's black or blue jeans (I prefer the ones sold by Victoria Secret in their catalog). Normally I will wear Hanes Resilience pantyhose in either black or barely there, but they look just as good with a pair of dark socks. On occasion I will wear them with black leggings or stirrup pants.

The line of aah...KEDS have a cushioned sole which make them soooo comfortable to wear. I can walk for hours in the Mall and not have my feet hurt!

 

 

White Champion Slip-ons. These are great Summer Shoes. I generally wear them with women's shorts in the Summer. As it gets a little cooler, I wear them with barely there Hanes Resilience and navy or white leggings. Being white, they go with almost anything.

Navy Champion Oxfords. These go great with navy women's shorts and white bobbie socks, or navy leggings and pantyhose or bobbie socks. I also have a pair of navy knit trousers from Lands End and navy leggings that look good and are really comfy with my KEDS.

 

Chambray Champion Oxfords. I really like the way these look with khaki shorts or trousers, and a matching shirt or blouse that also has chambray in it. My wife scowled when I bought them, but now also thinks they look great with the outfit mentioned above. I also have some chambray leggings that go really well with them. Both pantyhose and bobbie socks work with this combination.

KEDS Athena Flats in kind of a cream color. I bought these off of a clearance rack, but I really like them, I hope KEDS come out with another flat soon. I think they are both feminine and stylish.

Stone Champion Oxfords. These are my least favorite pair, but they generally look nice with certain shades of khaki trousers and barely there Hanes Resilience pantyhose.

Black aah...KEDS in Washable Leather.These are mainly my Winter KEDS and I generally wear them with jeans and a pair of socks that matches my turtleneck. I also like the look of them with black stirrup pants, and tunic and socks matching in either forest green or maroon.


KEDS Relaxed Fit in White.  These may become my favorite pair of KEDS, they are really comfortable and soft, and still look feminine. They are sized a little large, so they seem a little big on me, I may try a size 10 instead of 11 and see if that fits better. These look great with EVERYTHING!

KEDS Ready to Wear in White Leather.  These KEDS have a thicker sole and are quite comfortable. They are also a little less feminine so now I have KEDS for all occasions. These shoes look great with shorts and jeans.

Keds Ready to Wear in Navy NubuckKEDS Ready to Wear in Navy Nubuck.  This pair of KEDS looks great with a pair khaki slacks and a navy polo or turtleneck.

Keds Pam Mary Jane

KEDS Relaxed Fit "Pam" Mary Jane.  This pair of KEDS is extremely comfortable, and they look great with capri pants, skirts, and even jeans. I love this shoe!
 
 
 


Keds Relax Gazebo
KEDS Relax "Gazebo" in White Leather.  This is a very comfortable pair of KEDS, but like the old "relaxed fit" line, they are sized a little large. Lots if room in the toe, and is a good alternative to the Ready To Wear leather shoes. Looks good with shorts, slacks, and jeans.
 
 

KEDS Original in White Canvas.
I tried on a pair of the new KEDS "original" and I was not too pleased with the way they have modified the classic. While the shoes were very comfortable, and I liked many of the improvements, the wedge heel needs to go, and they need to go back to the pebble soles of the old style.
 


KEDS Virtue CVO Stretch "Smooth". This is a really comfortable and sporty pair of shoes. I was disappointed when I got home and found out they were man-made upper instead of leather. I still love them though!
 




KEDS Virtue Stretch Canvas.
After wearing the "smooth" Keds Virture shoes for a while I have really grown to like them. They are very comfortable, stylish, and slightly less feminine than the Keds Originals. I liked them so much I bought them in both White and Navy.




KEDS Original in White and Black Leather. The KEDS "Original" is beginning to grow on me. While I still do not see the point of the wedge heel, I really find these to be a comfortable casual shoe. I usually wear them with shorts or jeans.








KEDS Invigorate Stretch Smooth. These are the latest KEDS from the "Pure-Fit" line. I do not quite like them as much as the "Virtue," but they are an equally comfortable and fashionable shoe. The main thing I do not like is that the sole is a little thicker than I would like - I just do not understand the platform sneaker fashion trend. I also purchased a pair in stone twill.


KEDS Sophie. I was not sure what to think of these when they came out, but after buying a pair on clearance, I think they are a good shoe. They are comfortabe and easy to slip on. Wish I had bought a pair sooner.






KEDS Andie in Navy stretch canvas. I had hight expectations for these KEDS when they came out. I like the clean lines and thinner sole, but I find they feel flimsy and are similar in construction to the KEDS relaxed fit. I also do not like the soles on the canvas versions as they collect lint and dirt, then bring it into the house. They are very comfortable, and that is a great redeeming quality. I'll see how they hold up under frequent wear. I think the leather version will be better than the canvas.

KEDS Gorham Mary-Jane. I really don't consider this to be a true "Mary-Jane" style, but I bought a pair anyway on clearance. They are comfortable and go well with my capris and black jeans. I am not a big fan of the squared off toe look, but it is not too bad in this shoe. They really do feel good on my feet, and are as comfortable as any shoe I own.






KEDS Andie in White Leather. The more I wear the new KEDS Andies, the more I like them. They are soft, lightweight and very comfortable. The leather version is more durable than the canvas version.




KEDS Caytlin in White and Navy stretch canvas. I have never thought much of the tennis shoe "mule" look, but I tried these on and immediately fell in love. They are very comfortable and it is nice to have something I can easily slip in and out of. I may have to get this in other colors!



KEDS Caytlin in White stretch leather. I had to get a pair of these in leather too. I found that the white canvas gets dirty way to easily. I like the leather at least as much.
