If I think back to my middle school days and summer time, I remember riding my bike around the neighborhood, reading, playing with friends, and of course my staple shoe of choice at the time – a classic Keds white sneaker . For whatever reason, I don’t remember wearing sandals or flip flops in the summer but my Keds were always there.
I have been on the lookout for a white platform lace up sneaker that I can wear with jeans, dresses, or shorts. I heard an advertisement for Keds on a podcast a few months ago and I decided to check out their website. I am here to tell you that Keds has expanded far beyond their classic Champion style shoe that I mentioned above. In addition, they now have platform, slip on (canvas and leather), glitter, sandals, boots, and super cute designs in collaboration with kate spade and Rifle Paper Co. with styles for women and kids and even a wedding line of shoes. I am so excited to be returning to this brand and their comfortable shoes!
A Little Bit of Sparkle
For this most recent order, I decided on the Women’s Triple Iridescent. They have the same design as the classic shoe I remember, just with an added platform. There is a Dream Foam technology in the footbed and they are very comfortable on the sole of my foot and full of cushion just as the name promises.
I loved the iridescent fabric that allows them to look just barely off white but with a bit of sparkle when the sun or light hits them just right. With this fabric, I’m not as concerned about keeping them super clean all of the time and feel like they can hide a bit of wear and tear better than the standard white canvas. I’ll keep you posted how that is going over time!
