Keds is a brand of canvas shoe with rubber soles, introduced in 1916 by U.S. Rubber.
It was actually in the 1870's, and the creator was Charles Goodyear. He came up with this rubber for some secret mailboxes and ended up creating rubber for shoes. He first made tennis shoes, with that rubber. Then in the 1900's keds brought out the first "quite shoe". - Brittany M S.
Yes, people wore sneakers / tennis shoes in the 1930s. In the USA, the two major sneakers manufacturers were Keds and Converse. Keds, as a brand, started in 1916 and became part of the mass-market in 1917 by the U.S. Rubber Company. Today the Stride Rite owns the brand. Typically, Keds were for casual non-athletic activities, while Converse were athletic. NOTE: This division lasted for several decades but started to "come apart" in the 1960 and came completely apart with the introduction of other companies, such as Adidas, Puma, and Nike.
