Best Quality Canvas Sneakers You Can Buy Today

I've already written about the history of deck shoes, and as we know, the original was the canvas CVO. Then came the leather version, which we now know as the boat shoe. Canvas CVOs are a great summer option that works well for casual looks but can also be dressed up to work with more elegant outfits. Although still very popular, they are not the only option when it comes to canvas sneakers, and I wanted to discuss some alternatives. Even before deck shoes, there were Chuck Taylor All-Stars — shoes designed for basketball that haven't changed much in over 100 years and are still very popular.

Most of the brands that originally produced these canvas sneakers in the past century have since moved production overseas, but there are still a few smaller brands with local production that continue to make top-quality products. Even though the design of canvas sneakers on a rubber sole is simple, the process varies between brands that still do it 'the old way' and commercial brands that produce them in very high quantities.

Most of the designs of canvas sneakers are based on deck shoes or Converse basketball shoes, but some brands are doing their own designs that are inspired by one of these two styles. I made a list of well-made options that are available today.
