You don't have to say much about Keds, I wore them when I was a kid (many years ago!)  These shoes are cute and sturdy and easily cleaned.  We are also very grateful that they come in half sizes and wide widths, which all kids' shoes do not.  The nice thing about these is they fulfill the school's desire that kids wear close-toed shoes, but also look fairly nice with a dress or skirt.  We found them to run true to size and width.  My only critique is that I wish that more big kid shoes still came with velcro (it often stops between toddler and youth sizes) because we live in Hawaii and the kids are required to take their shoes off in the classroom, which means they come on and off several times a day and tying shoes is time consuming for little kids.  At least if forced the learning to tie your own shoes issue!
