It was back in 1916 that the first pair of Keds shoes were made, built to allow women to get about with greater ease. The brand also launched Kedettes which were the first high heeled shoe to offer comfort as well as style.

By the nineteen-fifties, these shoes had become synonymous with film stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, who often wore theirs with the classic mid-length skirts and pedal-pusher trousers of the day. Yoko Ono wore her Keds when she married John Lennon. Keds also found stardom on the feet of Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing and more recently, Brand Ambassador Taylor Swift.

Today, Keds continues to champion and empower women to go where they went with ease and in style. As well as classic styles, fans can purchase a whole host of glitter and patterned designs. There are also styles for men. Find your favourite pair for less on BrandAlley and fall in love.
