What are Keds?

I'm guessing that the OP is thinking the lightweight "tennis shoe" type of sneaker/gym shoe. Keds is a brand known for them (and it's my preferred style of sport shoe... as someone who doesn't do sports.)

While I wouldn't mind a couple more styles of lightweight gym shoe, I don't know that we need a whole kit of them. In my opinion, the largest deficit is formal/semi-formal flats. And I wouldn't say no to some more styles of heels either. Especially business heels in the roughly 2" range.

So maybe not a Keds kit, but a shoe kit wouldn't be amiss.

They have really been at the top of their game recently. It started for me with the high tops in Throwback Fit. The gym shoe that came with Incheon Arrivals has become my go-to when I want my sim to have that sneaker/gym shoe type of footwear. I'm ready to delete my cc sneakers and gym shoes that's how good the recent ones from Maxis have been. I would love to have some Keds and Chucks, low and high top. In my Tartosan Sun story, one of the main characters, Londyn, has a blue overalls outfit that is screaming for a pair of high top Chucks. She is wearing the Throwback Fit high tops and they look good but they aren't the same thing.

I'm with you on the flats and heels. There are no proper flats that I like. There are some sandals recently that have gotten the love, but they don't go with the outfits I'm wanting flats for. And heels, ugh. They all fall somewhere between ugly and horrid. The only one that even rates consideration are the Mary Janes from Moschino Stuff, and I still cringe when I look at them. Everything else, when I use them on a sim I'm uploading to the gallery I feel like I need to apologize to them for sticking them in those ugly shoes.

Totally agree with you on your last point, a complete shoes only kit is something we really need. The old stuff isn't aging well, wasn't that great to begin with, and they are making really good shoes now. Time to give that CAS asset a complete makeover.

@ignominiusrex they're very comfortable and provide plenty of padding and support. It's a narrow design but they're available in several widths.

@Jordan061102 you remind me of my kids. They've always teased me about my Keds. ?
ETA: And you can relax. It's not a rumor. Just a kit suggestion from the original poster. And even if it were true you'd still have nothing to worry about as I'm sure you have no interest in kits.

A bit of info on the history of Keds.

Keds – a timeless sneaker reinvented

I had to look keds up. I know you mentioned keds specifically and I'm not opposed to more of those but I think we could use a few shoe kits in general. I personally think platform sneakers are LIFE. It's hard to me to buy sneakers that doesn't include a platform like these for example. My sims would look so good in something similar to these. (The last two I own in real life)

Those are definitely the complete antithesis of Keds! What do you wear them with? I saw platform Converse here for a brief while on a few teens, then never saw platform athletic shoes again here so I'm curious.

mmmh yeah no to keds from me at least

based on what google showed me there was just shoes competing for most uncomfortable shoe in the world title and i don't particularily like the look either

but then again I was never much of shoes gal cause its hard enough to find shoes that fit my annoyingly problematic feet anyway I just like shoes that are comfy and come in color black

aand yeah im not much of kit gal either so whatever really :sweat_smile: idk why im even commenting this thread in first place tbh probably cause trying to find irl sneakers got me in enraged moodlet lately as humanity has decided once again to make all sport shoes with very narrow toe boxes (dang it whats next running in undersize winklepickers?)

I want more swimming and bed clothes

I can't remember if you use cc or not, I was thinking you do. If you do Dallas Girl has these cool platform sneakers.

They come with 15 swatches so you can easily find one to go with almost any outfit.

Keds are great I love mine (I literally just bought a pair the other day because we aren't selling toms anymore and I needed another just plain pair of shoes to wear), I work at a shoe store there are a s*t load of different colours and there are a good number of styles...... but oh god noooooo we do not need a whole kit dedicated to women's sneakers.

I’d rather see kits for children, toddlers, and teens clothing and shoes, and toys.

The shoe kit I had in mind would have some sneakers but the focus would be more on flats, heels, and boots. Boots are kind of my thing and what we have in CAS is sad. There's plenty of hiking boots and work boots, but I'd love to see some stylish booties, mid-calf, and knee-highs. Low heels, mids, or even low wedges. Casual ones and some that are a bit dressier but still everyday wear.
