Last spring I decided my colour of the year would be black. So I bought a new pair of black champs and I pretty much wore them every day.

This year I decided on navy which I ordered a couple days ago (pic attached). Keds has been sold out of my size for about 3 months in navy so I'm hoping that what they send me will be the newest 2007 version and yes I hope I'm getting that new sole.

Here's the deal. Treaty and I go for a power walk everyday and I'll wear the navy (except for rain days which I wear white leather). Every couple weeks I'll take some pics to show how the new version holds out. I must say the black pair I bought last year are really still in pretty good shape. The soles are almost smooth but the body held up really well (pic attached).

Cheers

Re: My Keds for 2007

Usually, I am only enticed with my wife's many pairs of Keds (sometime I'll get a pic in here of her Keds).

However, in the past year, I've begun to buy a couple pairs for myself. I've bought two pairs off this site, and two pairs off Ebay. Today, I went into Kohl's and bought a pair of new Champions.

No, I didn't wear them out of the store, but I did want to. I think I might wear them out today; we'll see. Damn, they are such a comfortable shoe. I'll update what I do to this thread, and take pictures as they get "broken in." For now just the new, out-of-the-box pictures.

Re: My Keds for 2007

Today, I wore these new Keds out and walked around the block, hoping to break them in a bit.

These are the most comfortable Keds I have ever worn (ok, I've only worn two other pairs). I wore them barefeet, and the insole support seems of a higher quality as does the heel. The tongue has much thicker padding (maybe they finally realized women wear them barefoot).
