Plimsolls, a name we don’t often hear. Plimsolls are an upper canvas shoe with a rubber bottom. These types of shoes are also known as beach shoes as they were originally designed for the beach. The shoes had a line around the rim of the rubber sole where it met up with the canvas upper where it was glued together. The purpose of this line was to indicate the point where the shoes could safely be wet. The name Plimsolls comes from the mark on the ships hull that shows the maximum depth to where the ship may safely immerse into the water with cargo.
Men’s Plimsollsare versatile and can be used for going out, for working on the dock or just lounging around the home. Even though they are labelled boat shoes, they are not just for the docks. These shoes are very affordable they are budget-friendly then ranging into the high-priced shoes as well. The good thing about the shoes being affordable is the fact you can buy several pairs and mix and match, rotating different colors and styles with your look for the day. They are very comfortable and wear just like a pair of hard soled slippers.
Plimsolls wear very well they hardly scuff or end up looking battered. They wash easily if you need to and with the white soles, there is no worry about leaving black scuff marks on the floor. If your choosing to wear boot cut jeans, then you need to opt for a more chunkier style boat shoe and if wearing a suit go for the converse brand that makes very thin-soled shoes. If your wearing shorts or ¾ pants avoid wearing socks if you can’t then go for sports or low-cut socks.
