The right footwear is not only important in winter, but also in summer. Especially when it is very hot, it is pleasant in light and airy canvas shoes, because the feet do not sweat as quickly as in leather shoes. Moreover, canvas shoes for men are more sustainable and environmentally friendly than conventional shoes.
Just slip them on and experience a summery, carefree walking feeling, while feeling sporty, casual or business-like dressed? Who doesn’t wish for that? With canvas shoes, you can implement modern men’s styling in summer and we show you how.

Summary
Before we get to the styling tips for men’s canvas shoes, let’s address some frequently asked questions.

What kind of soles do canvas shoes for men have?
Knotted bast soles are typical of espadrilles, the Spanish canvas shoes for men. The sustainable bast fibres of the slightly raised platform sole are made from hemp or flax.
How do I care for men’s canvas shoes properly?
If it’s already too late and the shoes have become wet and dirty or foul odours have formed after sport, it’s not such a tragedy. Simply soak them with cleaning foam and go over them with a brush or wash them at 30 °C in the washing machine. It’s a good idea to use a special hygiene rinse so that the odour-causing bacteria are also killed.
Commercially available canvas shoes can withstand up to 600 revolutions during the spin cycle. If the shoe has a leather application, it is better not to wash it in the machine.
