Keds Womens Champion Glitter Celebrations Lace Up Athletic Sneakers Casual

I hesitated on getting these because of all the bad reviews. I am so glad I did get them! The opening of the shoe, where you put your foot into, is lined with a white material that has no glitter on it, so there's no glitter in contact with any skin. The shoe may be marginally stiffer than a plain, material pair of Keds, but it's nothing I would have noticed except that I was on alert after all the negative reviews. The day I got them I wore them for a full day with no problems. I absolutely LOVE the sparkles! The only weird thing is that I'm an 8.5 in all other shoes....even my other pair of Keds. But the 8.5 in this style was HUGE. I returned those for a 8 and they are absolute PERFECTION!!
