is it true that keds give you really bad blisters?

i've had my eye on a pair for a while but i don't want to buy them unless i know they will be comfortable.

love them, i have the cream coloured ones with cherries on them (just like a billion other people) and they're quite comfy, although my feet hurt after standing in them for a while. but besides that, theyre great!

k, possibly a really obvious answer, but i really have no idea (and just looked at the site and i can't find where they're stocked)..where can you buy human slip ons? they're really cute!! and i really want some comfy slip ons

somewhere like wild surf co/general pants co??

or you've got feet that were meant for them
my feet are a bit on the wide side so i get blisters pretty easily :( (but i'm sure there's a million more people with feet wider than mine)
from past experience, anything with fairly solid heels are likely to lead towards blisters

yeah they're really uncomfy to begin with. either that, or that i have produced an extra layer of skin which makes me unaware of the pain the keds put me through

Horribly uncomfortable. First time I wore mine, they blistered my feet so badly after just foury minutes I couldn't even walk and had to put sticky tape over the blisters just to go to the car and my feet ached. The blisters were so nasty they took three weeks to go away too.

Yeha. My feet REALLY disagree with Keds.

Mine give me blisters if I wear them for a long time. But other than that I love them!
