Keds Champion Feat. Organic Cotton Core Women 9.5 Black

I am so glad I picked these up. I've worn Keds since I was a little girl and my mom always washed my shoes. Flash forward a few years ago I repurchased my favorite white Keds and need to wash them after getting them muddy. Well I didn't realize I shouldn't wash them and the blue lining of the insole ran. The shoes were stained. When I saw these organic cotton champions I jumped at buying them because the insole is white. I'm not saying you should wash them but if I personally make that choice at least I know they won't run. And if I get stuck in a rain storm they won't run. The canvas is a little rougher than I was hoping but I don't mind and I really love them. Now if Keds can bring back the relaxed fit very soft champion style from when I was a teenager I'd be all set. I highly recommend these.

It has become difficult to find Keds in a retail store in my area, so I was delighted to find I could order directly online. I have had a new pair of Keds for each summer since I was about 5 years old. That's 60+ decades. These lightweight shoes will last all summer. Next spring this summers Keds will become my garden shoes, because they are sturdy enough to protect the gardeners feet, even worn. Summer has arrived now, because I've got my Keds.
