I’m willing bet that a significant proportion of readers will have had a pair of these sneakers at some point in their life. And if that’s not the case, then now’s as good a time as any to add them to the list. This list of the best canvas shoes is (perhaps unsurprisingly) filled with classic, instantly recognizable styles.

Canvas Shoes Trend for 2023

This shoe has a classic canvas sneaker design meaning its low-profile, minimalist, and streamlined. As you’d expect with a pair of Nike shoes, the Swoosh is a major part of the design and on these shoes, it comes in the form of a small tick towards the ankle. The shoes come in a variety of colors, from standards to brighter colors. Like other grunge-style and distressed canvas shoes, these are ideal for occasional wear and complementing specific fashion statements.

Featuring brands such as Hey Dude (check out my Hey Dude Shoes Review) and Oliver Campbell, I’ll be taking you through an impressive collection of men’s canvas shoes. While Californian skateboarders may have originally favored them in the 1970s, they’re now worn by supermodel Christy Turlington Burns, Gwen Stefani, and Justin Bieber in myriad ways. Turlington, for instance, gives her classic checkerboard slip-ons a preppy feel by styling them with classic knitwear and smart tailoring. Bieber styles his Vans Old Skool Sneakers closer to the brand’s roots with baggy hoodies and trousers. Meanwhile, Emily Ratajkowski has been spotted teaming hers with bare legs and body-skimming dresses.

Those with more flexible insoles will be more comfortable for long term wear than those with a solid sole. Easy USA makes the least expensive classic canvas shoe available, and you get what you pay for. Though the wide variety of color options may be appealing, the design of this shoe is not. With everything now in mind, it’s time to cop the perfect pair of men’s canvas shoes.

She creates unique, hand painted and original wearable art featuring animals, sports icons, cartoons, and much more. This young artist is based out of the UK, but does provide international delivery. She extensively prepares each pair of shoes, and uses high-quality leather paints to make her work as durable as possible. Though she suggests gently hand washing your shoes when needed, rather than putting them in the washing machine.

Originally designed and worn by badminton world champ Jack Purcell, they’ve been on the feet of stylish men since 1935. You can use them to smarten up some sweatpants or team them with your go-to jeans and a graphic tee. Now don’t get me wrong, I dig some fresh white kicks as much as the next guy. But when it comes to a do-it-all shoe that I’m not petrified of getting dirty, black can’t be beat. Low-maintenance with maximum impact, black canvas shoes can become a key player in your week-to-weekend wardrobe.

Just as it is possible to under-support your arches, it is possible to over-support them. Over-supporting your arches weaken the muscles and ligaments in your feet, and may ultimately cause fallen arches and exacerbate conditions like arthritis.

I love these shoes in black and gold, but you can grab them in several different colorways. Teva is renown for footwear that effortlessly bridges fashion and function, and the Freewheel is no different. Sperry’s Striper II CVO sneakers are not only affordable but stylish and super durable. Available in a bunch of colors (from gray to red and navy), they’re the perfect everyday shoe that goes with shorts, pants, sweats, and more. Stepney Workers Club’s canvas high-tops certainly show you’re not messing around. Made with cotton canvas uppers and chunky vulcanized rubber soles, they’re a surefire conversation starter at garden parties, lunches, and nights at the bar.

And they’ve done some fun glow in the dark sneakers as well. They offer worldwide shipping and you can DM for commissions. Bre, also knowns as Colorado’s queen of shoe art, turns ordinary shoes into one of a kind pieces of art. Her portfolio shows an impressive range of work featuring sports-themed shoes, cartoons, brands (Mountain Dew) and more. Her signature style includes drips that help her work pop off the shoe.

Not restricted to any single ensemble, they’re smart enough to be worn with a suit but look equally great with jeans and a tee. The work by Donnell McFadden Brooks, aka Jigga, is out of this world. This artist produces beautiful saturated custom designs with an intense level of detail and a free-flowing stpirit.

“So intricate they’re impossible not to fall in love with, yet so seamless that they look factory-made, the work of Katty Customs is consistently top-notch.” says UPROXX. Artist Nicolle is the CEO and Founder of Katty Customs. She’s been customizing footwear for well over six years. Today she’s opened up a custom shop in Torrance, CA, as well as a flagship store on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles, CA. And she’s made shoes for Allen Maldonado of Sneakerheads fame, Chris Brown, Sneakertopia, and many other celebrities and events.

These types of footwear can be worn with everything, from slacks to sweatpants and shorts. If there’s one footwear style that offers ease, comfort, and versatility in one, it’s the canvas shoe. In fact, the most popular canvas shoes have such enduring appeal that they’ve become a mainstays in both men’s and women’s wardrobes.

It’s super light making it comfortable for wearing all day. It has a minimalist design with the main features being stitching across the toe and on the stripe as well as the contrast sole. Vans Checkerboard slip-ons are the second pair of Vans to make it to this list. While the design of the Old Skool is minimalist, the checkerboard goes the other direction. The shoe’s eyecatching design is guaranteed to be the star of any outfit. I personally like the classic off-white and black colorway, but Vans sells a huge number of styles and colors.
