Canvas shoes have become popular in recent years. This is largely because they have some connotations with environmentalism; they're seen as more environmentally friendly and better for our animals than leather or plastics. In the past, they haven’t particularly been seen as fashion shoes, but this is all changing.

In fact, you're probably reading this article because you want to incorporate canvas shoes into your wardrobe and you aren’t quite sure how to do this. Well, never fear, we are here to answer your questions. Today, you're going to find out all about canvas shoes and how to wear them fashionably.

What Are Canvas Shoes?

Well, they’re shoes that are made of canvas. Canvas is usually made from hemp or flax, although you can find other materials. The important thing to note is that they come from plants and not animal.

This doesn't mean that all canvas shoes are environmentally friendly. You have to verify that the plants from which they are made were reliably sourced. You will also need to avoid leather-soled canvas shoes.

You’re probably much more familiar with them than you realise. If you went to primary school in the UK before the 1990s, you probably had to wear plimsolls in gym class. Plimsolls are a type of canvas shoes.

Wat Are the Advantages of Wearing Canvas Shoes?

As well as the advantages of their positive impact on the environment and on animal welfare, canvas shoes have other benefits too. These include being comfortable and lightweight, making it easy to move around (and exercise). They're also incredibly cheap to produce, meaning you can buy a pair of high-end shoes, such as Rocket Dog canvas shoes, for much less than shoes made of other materials.

Another key advantage of this style of footwear is that you can wear them with many different outfits. As a style, they are informal and casual, so you won’t be wearing them to the night clubs or a corporate event like the red carpet, but for a day down the pub or out with friends, they are ideal.

What Sort of Styles Do They Suit?

To expand on the previous paragraph a little more, canvas shoes suit a wide range of fashions. Here are a few ideas:

• The Gym & Exercise in General: their lightweight and comfortable style makes them an ideal choice for wearing to the gym. They’re breathable, so your feet will sweat less and will stay relatively cool. They tend to have relatively stable bottoms, so they’re great for activities that necessitate a decent amount of balance.

They're also fantastic for running, but you will need to choose a pair that sports a relatively thick sole, such as the Rocket Dog canvas shoes, as they have the cushioning that acts like a shock absorber and will protect your body from pounding the pavement.

• For a casual day out with friends or a first date, they make a great choice of footwear. They’re relaxed and comfortable and they go very well with short skirts or jeans.

We hope that you have found this article informative and that you now have a good idea about the fashionableness of canvas shoes.
