History of Keds: The American Sneaker 

Classroom lesson on the Chalkboard

The Keds brand of sneakers has been around since 1916. They were first made by U.S. Rubber (now known as Uniroyal). The first Keds shoes were known as sneakers, because the rubber soles. This made the shoes quiet. So you could sneak around, (thus giving the name as sneakers.)

Keds popularity increased over the years with many people, including fashion designers and celebrities, because of their classic and stylish design.

Keds introduced a line of athletic shoes called Pro-Keds, in the 1960's and 1970's. This line was intended for athletics, mainly basketball. Over the years many basketball players and teams wore Pro-Keds shoes while playing.

In the 1990's, Keds popularity died out. Recently, Keds have become popular again. Seeing celebrities on TV wearing these shoes has helped. Example: an ad campaign featuring Mischa Barton, star of The O.C. and The Veronicas who are an Australian Pop Rock music duo.

The current vintage clothing obsession has brought back the popularity for Pro-Keds

Keds come in many different designs and colors. They are known to be comfortable and high quality.

Keds shoes are continuously recreating their fashions to me the present market.

Grandma Emma Gatewood and Keds Shoes 

Classroom lesson on the Chalkboard

Grandma Emma Gatewood (1887-1973) is recorded as the oldest person who wore Keds. She was a hiker and in 1955, at the age of 67, wearing Keds sneakers and carrying an army blanket, a raincoat, and a plastic shower curtain which she carried in a homemade bag slung over one shoulder, truly a light weight packer. Grandma Gatewood was able to hike the 2,168-mile Appalachian. She hiked it again in 1960 and then again at age 75 in 1963.
