Keds Sneakers
If you’re looking for a comfortable pair of casual shoes, check out the original. Local terms for footwear vary across the country, and soft-soled athletic shoes can be called “tennis shoes,” “tennies,” or most commonly “sneakers.” Most people don’t know where these slang terms come from, but the term “sneaker” was coined to describe Keds shoes upon their debut.
Introduced in Rubber company, the Keds line of shoes were the first soft-soled shoes. Unlike the hard-soled shoes that preceded them, these soft-soled Keds made little sound when worn. Since you could walk (or sneak) around without worrying about your shoes making any noise, the Keds were christened “sneakers”–and the term has since expanded to include any similar piece of footwear.
The modern fascination with retro footwear has breathed new life into the classic Keds sneaker. While it was once thought that these classic designs reached their height of popularity in the 1970s and ’80s, today’s fashions bring back the Keds look. Keds are now as popular among teenagers as they are among those who grew up with these comfortable and reliable shoes.
