Keds vs. Nike Shoes


KEDS vs. NIKE SHOES
ยท               
history
In 1916, Keds created the original sneaker - or as they like to say, the first ever "feel-like-everyday's-a-Saturday" shoe. But that was a bit of a mouthful...so instead they called it the Champion. With silent rubber soles (superb for sneaking up!), and a featherweight feel, the Champion more than lived up to its playfully confident name. On legends and icons, it danced through the decades to become a true-blue American go-to. http://www.keds.com/store/SiteController/keds/home
Keds makes many different types of shoes for men, women and children, depending on whether a person wants comfort on Saturday or training in gym, to a day at the beach.

Keds tennis shoes are light-weight, comfortable and have great support for the instep. The canvas material allows the feet to breathe, so it is cool on hot days. The price range is between $30 and $40. The shoes tend to wear out faster than the Nike shoes but even though they are not as durable as the Nike, the Ked tennis shoe is still my favorite casual shoe.
Ked shoes are not available in many stores. A shopper must be knowledgeable to the few department stores that sell Keds shoes. If a person is certain of his/her shoe size, online shopping is the best way to buy a pair of Keds shoes.
Nike Shoe
This running shoe offers comfort and confidence from heel to toe with its ultra-cushioned design.

Running Shoe:
๏‚ท  technical single layer mesh and synthetic upper
๏‚ท  dynamic midfoot fit system provides the optimal blend of comfort and superior fit
๏‚ท  Reax mechanical heel cushioning system provides excellent cushioning and a smooth heel-to-toe transition
๏‚ท  BRS 1000 carbon rubber heel provides maximum durability


The Nike shoe has a heavy sole and is usually made of leather. While this heaviness would be good for training for a runner, the Ked shoe would be better for an actual race as the extra weight would hinder speed. The leather turns water but it does not allow the feet to breathe and this makes the Nike shoe hot. The price range for this shoe is about $80 to $100.
This company is truly sports minded. Among the shoe types, they have special shoes for running, soccer, football, basketball, baseball, golf, skateboarding and snowboarding. They have studied the pressure points for where the feet need the most support in all these fields of activity and made their shoes to fit the need.  Of course shoes are not all the Nike logo stands for. They make clothing for all these sports as well.
Nike is the #1 choice for the U.S. Olympic teams. Nike sponsors teams around the world for training, also. The Nike brand is available anywhere sportswear is sold.
