Canvas style shoes, thin soles

Does anyone know the kind of shoes I mean, a very relaxed style. I’ve seen similar in Shameless and I’m sure other tv shows, especially on young, poorer kids.

hard to describe but basically I like converse but not the thick white soles?

Plimsolls? Used to be worn for PE back in my day.

Keds?

Magpie50 · 11/06/2024 23:22

Plimsols? Tennis shoes? Vans?
I think most of them tend to have white soles (although I wouldn't call them thick unless it's a flatform).

Personally I like converse and rocket dog for those types of shoes.

Superga?

Sounds like you describing old school plimsolls from a 1980s primary school.. shudder

KnickerlessParsons · 11/06/2024 23:26

Espadrilles?

TuesdayWhistler · 11/06/2024 23:29

I don't know who has hidden my reply or why. I suggested Superga.

And that the description reminded me.of 80s primary school plimsolls.

I think the brand you want is Victoria. Spanish. Not much support but excellent quality and you can machine wash them.

Weird.

Hard agree- have these in about 5 colours and adore them

minipie · 12/06/2024 08:14

My reply was hidden, totally innocuous, said much the same as everyone else - plimsolls like we wore for PE back in the day. Not sure what word would be autohidden from that!

I note the thread that explains autohide has now been hidden 😆

minipie · 12/06/2024 08:15

Agh why do my replies keep getting hidden!

Did you use the word starting - Plim ending Soll

Apparently they've coded it so any post containing that word is autohidden.
There was some pervert coming to MN obsessed with them.

My other replies upnthread were all hidden for a while they seem to have appeared this morning.

Lunar They're so comfortable like wearing socks. I have a pair in navy, another in pewter.

My son wears Toms I like those too.

Yes I did but so did others…
Anyway they have appeared now
What a bizarre fetish 😆

Toms

TheLeadbetterLife · 12/06/2024 11:08

Is it a Bensimon style you're after?

Toms alpargatas are very comfy. I also love Natural World Eco for this type of shoe - they're natural rubber and organic cotton, lots of colours. The soles smell of bubblegum for some reason, and it's lovely.

Or, without white soles....
