In these days of grubby Converse shoes and trainers we could reintroduce a bit of summer style by reinventing the canvas leather-soled brogue. Any shoemakers out there up for this? I suppose that a drawback of white canvas is the difficulty of keeping it clean. I remember having this problem as a child when most cricket boots were canvas. The modern naval equivalents have leather uppers (see below). They can be found at Silvermans, military clothing sellers in the UK.

I much prefer a canvas brogue to a pair of Converse- do Church's sell them?
ReplyDeleteI've found white leather brogues for women by Church's - similar are available for men from a few manufacturers, but no canvas that I can find.

Thanks, the Grensons are a possibility too.
