keds vs. vans

Have you been wondering which to get? Either vans or keds? Well, I will be explaining each of the shoes, and some of my opinion. I made it into a bullet point post so it is easier to read. But lets start comparing the two brands/shoes with facts.

Which is an older company?
v: established in 1966
k: established in 1916 older
So I guess Keds is the original? But not sure about when the two companies actually started producing the shoes that we are talking about...

More popular?
For this, I did a little more research and went on yahoo answers to get people's opinions. I searched up Which shoe brand is better? Vans or Keds?  and went into the 3 Q&A with most answers:
v: 11 votes more popular
k: 4 votes
So my data shows that vans seem to be more popular. Intact, vans have more than half the vote that keds have! But some people stated that they both look the same and that they should get either toms or converses. 

Long lasting?
From my experience, vans last way longer than keds do. kids start to wear out and the soles sort of starts to peel off. But vans, I guess it just gets a little dirty; for example, the laces since it's white.
Additionally, I went to yahoo answers and people were saying the same thing as me.
It seems like vans are more sturdy! It is even sturdy with the thin soles.

=================================

Which parts are the same?

• they are both shoes and it is made/designed almost the same
• yah that's basically it...

Differences?

• where the logo/tag is
• price (these are the prices for the authentic ones-vans: $45.99 keds: $45)
• and keds are slimmer (vans also have the thin types as well)

Well, I like Vans better so if you are considering getting a pair, get Vans!
