The Sims 4 Keds Kit

EA and The Sims Team must create a new CAS kit called "The Sims 4 Keds Kit" because we need more Female CAS Sneakers Content. Any Thoughts?

I'm guessing that the OP is thinking the lightweight "tennis shoe" type of sneaker/gym shoe. Keds is a brand known for them (and it's my preferred style of sport shoe... as someone who doesn't do sports.)
While I wouldn't mind a couple more styles of lightweight gym shoe, I don't know that we need a whole kit of them. In my opinion, the largest deficit is formal/semi-formal flats. And I wouldn't say no to some more styles of heels either. Especially business heels in the roughly 2" range.
So maybe not a Keds kit, but a shoe kit wouldn't be amiss.
Unknown brand
Instead talk me about Adidas, Reebok, Puma or Nike.

I have these in my game with about 50 recolors. They're what my sims wear most often.

Never heard of keds but I know those four, lol.
@simgirl1010 thanks for the picture. It helps.
An entire kit dedicated to these shoes, or shoes in general, is not interesting for me personally.
good gawd, can anyone say Product Placement?
I can't believe the Keds fad keeps coming back again and again and...again? I remember it clearly about the same time as the debut of the movie Dirty Dancing, with Jennifer Grey prancing around in her impossibly impractical white jeans (which never had a mark on them so she must never have ever sat down on anything) and equally impossibly perfectly clean white Ked sneakers, because all the girls in junior high seemed to be wearing them, and jeans cut off really close to the knee and rolled to just above the knee, and they all had that same ridiculous-looking permed frizzy shapeless hair.
I think white canvas shoes and white jeans are like white sofas and white carpets: they look good in magazines and movies, but in real life, everyone who falls for it learns their lesson.
The other weird thing about Keds is, they're so narrow and have so little toeroom, and no real padding in the bottom: aren't they very uncomfortable?
I like your suggestion about the need for more practical, low-heel professional shoes for women Sims, @DaWaterRat ! I would cheer on the entire movement if women just decided to say no once and for all, to wearing any uncomfortable shoes ever, but even if they don't do that, they certainly don't go tottering about on very high heels professionally, (or at least, not most professions, and the ones that require that kind of dress code are often forms of employ that exploit the desperate).
So where are the classy low-heeled mules, the clogs, the dress flats, and the other choices I see women in professional settings choosing? There aren't a lot to compete with all the high heels.

Not for me. I find them more comfortable than heavier gym shoes meant for more "serious" sports, because they're not weighing my feet down.
But then, I don't really like wearing shoes at all (it's the hobbit in me). So light shoes feel less like I'm wearing them at all, which is automatically more comfortable for me.
I don't buy the white ones, though, if I can help it. Black, green, or blue are my preferences.
They have really been at the top of their game recently. It started for me with the high tops in Throwback Fit. The gym shoe that came with Incheon Arrivals has become my go-to when I want my sim to have that sneaker/gym shoe type of footwear. I'm ready to delete my cc sneakers and gym shoes that's how good the recent ones from Maxis have been. I would love to have some Keds and Chucks, low and high top. In my Tartosan Sun story, one of the main characters, Londyn, has a blue overalls outfit that is screaming for a pair of high top Chucks. She is wearing the Throwback Fit high tops and they look good but they aren't the same thing.
I'm with you on the flats and heels. There are no proper flats that I like. There are some sandals recently that have gotten the love, but they don't go with the outfits I'm wanting flats for. And heels, ugh. They all fall somewhere between ugly and horrid. The only one that even rates consideration are the Mary Janes from Moschino Stuff, and I still cringe when I look at them. Everything else, when I use them on a sim I'm uploading to the gallery I feel like I need to apologize to them for sticking them in those ugly shoes.
Totally agree with you on your last point, a complete shoes only kit is something we really need. The old stuff isn't aging well, wasn't that great to begin with, and they are making really good shoes now. Time to give that CAS asset a complete makeover.
Omg I hate those shoes. Hope this rumor is false.
@Jordan061102 you remind me of my kids. They've always teased me about my Keds. 😄
ETA: And you can relax. It's not a rumor. Just a kit suggestion from the original poster. And even if it were true you'd still have nothing to worry about as I'm sure you have no interest in kits.
A bit of info on the history of Keds.

Those are definitely the complete antithesis of Keds! What do you wear them with? I saw platform Converse here for a brief while on a few teens, then never saw platform athletic shoes again here so I'm curious.

The Sims 4 General Discussionbased on what google showed me there was just shoes competing for most uncomfortable shoe in the world title and i don't particularily like the look either
but then again I was never much of shoes gal cause its hard enough to find shoes that fit my annoyingly problematic feet anyway I just like shoes that are comfy and come in color black

I can't remember if you use cc or not, I was thinking you do. If you do Dallas Girl has these cool platform sneakers.
They come with 15 swatches so you can easily find one to go with almost any outfit.
The shoe kit I had in mind would have some sneakers but the focus would be more on flats, heels, and boots. Boots are kind of my thing and what we have in CAS is sad. There's plenty of hiking boots and work boots, but I'd love to see some stylish booties, mid-calf, and knee-highs. Low heels, mids, or even low wedges. Casual ones and some that are a bit dressier but still everyday wear.
You and I must have similar foot issues. I despise the lack of toe room in shoes wherever it happens, but especially find no excuse for it in any shoes that are supposed to be worn while being physically active.
My toes are the widest part of my foot. it doesn't taper off like a hoof. When regular, run-of-the-mill shoes have a wider or narrower size, they just widen the whole footbed, as if people's feet are the same width across the whole way, so by the time I get enough toe space, my heel is slipping around and I get blisters.
Then to add to the woes, my toes are different from one foot to the other: on one foot, the second toe is longer than the big toe, and on the other, the big toe is longest and the two feet don't have much in common for shape or appearance.
