text: Not Keds by any means.  Cheaply made, smelled strange and looked bad.  The plastic was welded sloppily to the canvas, the width was way off from a true Ked brand shoe, the soles looked sloppy as well.  I don't recommend these, even though I wanted them for an art project I don't think they would make good shoes to wear at all and I sent them back.  Couldn't get rid of them fast enough.
