This may have already been discussed over time but I thought I'd ask any way. It seems to me that the Keds of the last several years are different than in the past in at least two respects: 1.) The cut seems that there is a little less material and 2.) The canvas seems of a lesser quality.
I notice that the toe areas seem to wear much quicker than in the past. And overall, the canvas loses its shape after a short period of time. This is pronounced if the shoes get wet in the rain.
I recall back in the 90's that Keds held up pretty good. Back then it was the off-brand white canvas sneakers that started to lose their shape and stretch with minimal wear. Now the current Keds seem to do the same.
Has anyone else noticed this? Agree? Disagree?
