getting plenty of compliments on the look. We are really happy with this purchase. I got a crack on my heel in this area and decided to donate these sandals to Savers. Absolutely adorable first walking shoes! They?re also not true to size. I cant say enough positive things about these sandals! You can lower the hitch to open the rear tailgate. 1 inch is a lot. I?ve never tried keds before, maybe this brand runs small or maybe just this style. As soon as I inserted the earbuds in my ears and put on some music, I was blown back by the quality of the sound as they sounded better than my other TWS earbuds.
