I have no idea what everyone is talking about when they say that these are poor quality. They appear to be the same exact keds that you would buy in any store. I'm not sure if the other reviewers received a different shoe, or just aren't familiar with ked's. Also, the sizes are the same as normal ked's. I regret listening to the reviewers who said that they run small. I ordered a half a size up from what I normally wear, and they're too loose. I'll keep them anyway because they're so inexpensive, but I wish I hadn't listened. Probably unrelated, but I ordered these on friday at 8pm and chose one day shipping and they arrived saturday morning at 9:48. Excellent shipping.
