I buy all of my daughters Keds sneakers at the Stride Rite outlet in Wrentham, MA. I just bought a pair of white leather, first quality Keds which retail for over $40. The Stride Rite Outlet price was $26.99. Furthermore, if you are a AAA member, you can get a discount booklet at CS at the outlets and save an extra 15%. So Paige's new Keds cost me $22.94, almost a 50% savings from the Filenes or Sears price for the same product. With Keds, I know I'm getting great quality, for just a few dollars more than questionable quality at Wal-mart or Target.
