From playground to party time, Keds’ ella is a not-so-plain mary jane. Featuring a sweet flower detail on the convenient hook & loop closure, plus a memory foam footbed and deep flex grooves making them as comfy as a sneaker, but perfect for parties!. Keds brings classic sneaker style to life in the Ella mary jane. With a leather upper and hook-and-loop closure embellished with a precious flower, this white-bumpered cutie with a grippy rubber sole offers easy romping, stomping and all manners of her favorite frolic. In 1916, the Keds brand was introduced by the U.S. Rubber Company as the first national athletic and lifestyle footwear brand. At this time, the shoes were called sneakers, a term invented in late 1916 by Keds advertising agency because the rubber soles made the shoes quiet. Worn by Olympic soccer players, scores of National and International tennis champions, and many college athletes, Keds was coined the shoe of champions because of its reputation as America's premier athletic brand. Not only was Keds a leading athletic brand, it was also the brand of choice for leading style icons due to its classic, stylish, and authentic characteristics. Review: Great Shoe! - My daughter has a relatively "thick" foot (more like a baby foot than a toddler). We sometimes have trouble finding shoes that fit her without cutting into the top of her foot where her toes go in the shoe. These shoes fit her very well and she has loved wearing them since day 1! She took off running as soon as we put them on her and frequently asks for them when we're choosing shoes for the day. They go with everything, are decently cute for a plain white shoe, and my daughter seems to think they're very comfortable. Overall good purchase! Review: If the straps are too short order a wide - I buy my daughter Keds every summer, they are extremely durable and I never have a problem with the white peeling off unlike "knock off" versions sold at major chain stores. I used to buy the T-strap style when she was a baby but recently switched to these. They are genuine Keds brand , which do tend to run just ever so slightly narrow. After seeing the reviews stating the strap was too short I chose to purchase both the regular and the wide in the same exact size so I could see if that would make a difference. I've attached a picture to show how the wide fits her foot exactly the same but with the strap being able to come all the way down. If your child has thin or narrow feet then the straps should be just fine in the normal width.

If the straps are too short order a wide
I buy my daughter Keds every summer, they are extremely durable and I never have a problem with the white peeling off unlike "knock off" versions sold at major chain stores. I used to buy the T-strap style when she was a baby but recently switched to these. They are genuine Keds brand , which do tend to run just ever so slightly narrow.

Adorable, run big
These shoes are adorable and reasonably priced. They were shipped and arrived all within 4 days. When I took my daughter to get measured about a month ago, I was told to order size 8.5. She's been steadily wearing size 8 pretty much all winter, snow boots, uggs, etc have all been 8's with a tad of room to grow. So I always order her shoes online to save money and I wanted to find something for spring, and I loved these. Considering all of the last several months her wearing an 8 and the new shoes aren't going to be worn for another 1-2 months, I definitely wanted to size up a little and follow the advice of the professional at the shoe store. So I ordered an 8.5 which was ginormous. I'm assuming keds run on the larger side, because there was literally an entire inch gap. I decided to exchange for the 8, which have come already by the way! They were delivered like 3 days later! The 8 is still plenty big on her. I will keep the 8 because I feel with the Velcro strap in 1-2 months they'll start to fit a little better, and hopefully last throughout summer. There is still plenty of room to grow in the 8 so I think it my best bet! With keds (this style in particular)I would recommend to order the size your child is wearing if it's for upcoming months. It seems they run atleast a half size bigger.

Great shoe! Highly recommend!
As with all Keds shoes, I highly recommend them. I like the Keds Daphne T-Strap or the Ella Mary Janes. These shoes do run true to size but I do suggest buying them in wide width even for a toddler with average feet. My daughter does not need wide width in any other brand but with every style of Keds I have purchased, she does. I buy them in white and they match everything. They can be dressed up or down. You will need to buy the next size up before this brand is worn out. They can be washed without a problem, but let them air dry so they do not get bent out of shape. I order them from Amazon regularly. They almost always have the best price and consistently ship quickly.

Great shoes - run narrow!
We love these shoes for our 20-month old daughter and have bought her a couple of pairs now in different sizes. I do think they run quite narrow, though. We order her a wide and it is much narrower than wides from other shoe brands (e.g. Stride Rite), and in fact, seems narrower than many other regular width shoes. We order half a size up to help compensate, but they still don't fit her perfectly. We really like the shoes, though (cute and the perfect balance of dressy and casual) so we keep buying! The fit is not good enough for them to be her everyday shoes, but fine for using once or twice a week.

BEST KID SHOE EVER
I love this shoe for my little girl. Have been purchasing the same style and color since she was 1 1/2 yrs (she's now 5). I have bought them in all sizes through the years; they're that good. Even with repeated use, they are durable and still look quite new. So much so they have been handed down to a younger cousin for her use; and I'm sure will last long enough (and look good enough) for another sibling/relative to inherit. Love the color too it's so easy to pair with everyday outfits.

One show was slightly different than the other
I love KEDS for little girls. They last forever and are easy for toddlers to put on themselves. What I didn't like about these shoes has more to do with the distributor than with KEDS (i think). One shoe had a different sole than the other, the part below the strap that shoes your socks was cut out significantly larger than the other shoe and the trim around the sides was not put on the same way as the other one, I wanted to return them but my daughter refused to take them off. My child's feet are narrow and it surprised me that the straps on both shoes barely pulled across enough to cover the velcro. About 80% of the velcro shows and it looks like they fit poorly. I checked out these shoes at numerous shoe stores and they had the velcro issue but nine of the others, so I will no longer order them from Amazon.

ONLY LASTED 2 MONTHS
My daughter did not wear these shoes outside to play often. She certainly did not wear them daily. While playing indoors at her pre-school, the leather which holds the metal loop split into 2 pcs. We bought these shoes in Aug 2023. They were damaged beyond repair by Oct 2023. She wore a pair of old high tops to play outside and we alternated these white pair of Keds with a blue pair. So, she only actually wore these shoes modestly for about a month. Really disappointed because I really liked the style.

Ce sera pour l'été prochain...
Arrivées à la date convenue ; mignonnes comme tout mais... trop grandes, et de beaucoup ! Peut-être faudrait-il insister davantage sur les différences qui existent d'un pays à l'autre en matière de pointures de chaussures, pour enfants en particulier !
