First, I should say something about the shipping. This is directly from the Zazzle site regarding shipping specifically for shoes:

Your made-to-order custom shoes are produced for you as quickly as possible
and you should receive them in 4 weeks within the continental US, depending
on the shipping method selected. For international destinations, delivery
ranges between 5-6 weeks.

For this order, I selected “Ground- With Tracking (4-7 Business Days After Manufacturing No PO Boxes, APOs or FPOs).” As the weeks went on, I became a little concerned because in the Order Status of my order, the shoes remained in “Processed” status up until the day they shipped, which was last Friday.

As for the shoes themselves – I couldn’t be happier!!! I LOVE THEM! The design rendered exactly as I’d hoped while creating them (yes, this is my own custom design). Using the Keds templates helped tremendously, but it does take some getting used to in getting the “bleed area” and placement where you want – I redesigned them a couple of times after seeing them in the Zazzle design tool.

The gradient in the roses looks wonderful, as does the black and white “keyboard” contrasting colors across the toe. I added 3 different “flaming” skulls designs – on the toe, on the heel, and a different one on the tongue (even though it can’t really be seen), and I’m very pleased with the result. The orange and yellow flames are exactly as I envisioned them. The entire design is very crisp and clean.

The fit couldn’t be better too. These are among the higher quality Keds shoes that I’ve owned (right up there with the most expensive Keds walkers, which I loved). If you’ve ever worn Keds, there’s no need to worry about sizing – the size is spot on with traditional Keds’ sizing. (I know this could be a concern since shoes are non-returnable.)

I can’t wait to get out there and show off my new Keds shoes! Thank you so much Zazzle! These are wonderful!
