Right now, some sizes are on sale for as little as $37 on Amazon, so there's no better time to shop.
The Keds Champion Canvas Sneakers, the famous ones worn by Grey, have a low-profile, lace-up design with a durable canvas upper and a cushioned footbed for comfort. A breathable lining will keep your feet cool and comfortable, which makes the sneakers a great option for warm weather, especially summer days where you'll be doing a lot of walking. They also have a shock-absorbing rubber sole with added traction, making sure you'll remain stable on different terrain.
While white Keds offer a classic look (especially if you're going with the "Dirty Dancing" inspiration), the sneakers are also available in nine other colors, including black, navy, olive green, and bright red. They come in sizes 4 through 13 with narrow, wide, and extra wide options available so you're bound to find a perfect fit.
