Original was better
The leather is not buttery soft like I remember and the shoe strings are thin. The back of the shoe does not form to my foot. I ordered these in black as well and wish I wouldn’t have.

Leather Keds Champion Originals Leather Lace-Up
The very definition of classic sneaker. Our iconic Champion first debuted in 1916, the first rubber-soled shoe of its kind. It’s gone through some changes over time—different toe shapes to play to the trends and getting modern comfort updates—but its signature shape has mostly remained the same, an iconic design that was loved and worn by a legacy of influential women like Audrey Hepburn, Yoko Ono, and Jackie Onassis (to name just a few). With its instantly recognizable design, minimalist goes-with-everything style and all-day comfort, it’s one of the those timeless basics every closet needs.
*Please note: Depending on inventory levels, your shoes may come with a different footbed than what is shown in the image above. But don't worry, all our footbeds deliver that amazing, all-day comfort you expect from Keds.

Great shoes
Love the good old champion style with too room. Slim is not quite the same as a shoe with narrow. But ok

I Keep re-ordering because they are so comfortable
I always order Champion Black leather low tops. The official website was hard to find the second time this year I would recommend putting the word official on the web page as a convenience to your returning customers. Walter gave me excellent customer service when I called back to order the exact same show! Great product-Keep it up KEDS!!! I'll be looking for the black leather High top for this coming year. which I wear and chilly days!

Not the same quality as in years past.
I don't often leave reviews of products but felt I had to. And in reading previous reviews I see that most everyone else has the same complaints that I do.... I am 70 and have bought the Champion leather lace ups for years. They have always fit my feet great and the fit still seems good. However I recently ordered two pair of the white Champions and notice the leather is not the same. It feels hard, like plastic more than leather, which is uncomfortable on your feet and toes, even with socks. And these shoes squeak like crazy. The inside bottom of the shoes are not as cushioned as they were. For such a high price, please return to your previous quality.

Disappointed
I just received these today. I am a Keds lifer. I tried them on and loved the way the new supportive insole felt. However, I am very disappointed in the quality of the leather. They are nothing like the pair I had before. They feel fake and plastic. I really hope they wear well. They look and feel like a cheap knockoff brand. Come on Keds! Do better!!!!!

Disappointing.
I use to by these back in the 80’s - and they lasted forever, were sturdy and comfortable - wore them everywhere. Not anymore they need an insole have lost their flair. Leather is thin, footbed is thin, and the shape has changed - not at all like they used to be. Hate to be cliche and say it, but .. “they don’t make them like they use to” …sad connotation on our world that everyone is out for a quick buck. No one sticks to making a quality product that lasts. Leadership, economies, and times change, but a good product should never change. No matter what. Sad. These make me feel like I’m wearing clown shoes. Wore them out after after 3 months.

These Suck!
I recently bought a pair of these for my girlfriend and she is not impressed with these. When she got them and put them on the laces where long had to cut them down to where she can actually tie them and a few days ago she wore them out somewhere and noticed they where starting to separate from the soles. If I could give a zero star rating I would! These sneakers are absolute garbage! Poor quality and made to only last a month. I should have gotten her the Keds Jump Kick's since I hear those last longer than these. The Champions suck!

I loved my leather Champions and ordered a new pair about a month ago. Just got them out and put them on and left the house, thinking all would be good. I ordered the same size, but this this new pair slips off my heal and I do not like the new insole, very uncomfortable. I should have checked before stepping out in them. Take notice!

Classic timeless style
Got these as a gift for my mother-in-law. She loves these because they’re very comfortable. We greatly appreciate that the sizing in your shoes stays the same. It makes it so much easier to order and know that you’re going to get a shoe that always fits. This is a great classic and timeless style.

Leather Champions
Love my new leather Champions. The toe area seems more rounded with a bit more room and the new insole has some support and is comfortable. Great looking tennis shoes that go everywhere.

What happened to quality
Much lower quality than previously manufactured keds. The white leather is sealed on the edges and the eyelets are silver (not painted white). The sole of the shoe is laughably thin even with the blue comfort insole. I am very disappointed. The leather is also not durable and has already scuffed.

Sizing
They aren't quite narrow enough for me. I'm sorry that I won't be able to order more.

Leather original
Champion originals leather lace up is my go to shoe. I have neurapathy and these shoes keep me stable and secure. The shoes I received were at least a size to large, in lenght. The gender neutral or unisex is not wokring. A women's foot it different than a males, so make two different shoes to fit the populace accordingly. I was a bit dismayed at the fee for returns, just outrageous.

Just okay
Decent for $50. It's leather but doesn't look it. No cushioning.
