I wanted a pure white shoe and I'm not fond of laces.  I've had Keds canvas before.  I don't know if th leather makes a difference,or what, but these shoes are not very comfortable.  It is like they are lacking something and,in my opinion, it is a lining.  The inside of the shoe is rough and I had to switch to way thicker socks.  They do have a decent sole support though.  So on the whole, I will wear them I'm sure, but next time would probably go with the canvas.
