Do comfy, casual, wide, flat-sole, canvas shoes exist?
No. Go boost.
Converse II
Yeah, vans. That's like their whole thing. Most skate shoes, really, but vans tend toward thinner uppers which I would assume you like from your pic.

Vans aren't as versatile by far.
>>11343942
dr scholls plain white cushion insoles
>>11344020
Nice, but the toe box looks narrower than Chucks. Almost like pointy dress shoes.
That's cool though really uncomfy looking, I'm affraid..
>>11344100
Not sure about these. Reviews don't convey that they're so different from original Chucks.
They look marginally roomier.
>>11344226
Vans look like they might allow the feet and toes to splay more naturally but are they the best option? Merrells and Vibram 5 fingers are purpose-built for toe splaying comfort, but their look is restricted to sportswear only. Are Vans in a similar league?

Versatile in comparison to..?
Versatile in terms of coordinating? or practicality?
>>11344380
I'll definitely keep those in mind but I need to find a roomy frame before considering insoles.
>>11344100
Wtf are you talking about. Narrower than the originals.
Try Vivobarefoot, OP.

Chucks and in terms of making them work with various styles. Chucks work with preppy, hip hop, metal... pretty much everything.

>not the goat one
what do you guys think about high top chucks
>>11347573
Too narrow but more ankle support at the cost of breathability. Looks terrible with shorts.
>>11347532
Is this some kind of ruse?
>>11347532

>>11347718
>>11347731
both are bad, the only acceptable Vans are the old skools, low top, high top, leather, canvas, you name it
plimsolls are a shit
>>11343942
Apparently not since I've been unable to find any either...
I would suggest >>11344900
but they don't have any canvas shoes atm and there is such a thing as 'too minimal' for walking in urban environments.

Have you tried PF Flyers?

Anyone have those PLA martial art shoes?
>>11351412
Like this?

Shoes marketed as minimalist/barefoot are already risky enough. Reviews say martial arts shoes don't stand up well to daily abuse on asphalt and concrete.
>>11343942
Fuck canvas. Go leather
Boat shoes are the best option for plain comfort that is /fa/ approved

I was reading an article about Fei Yens from an actual Chinese practitioner of Wushu, they wear out real quick, and everyone who does Wushu just keeps replacing them, to the point of having a high count of Fei Yens replaced is a point of pride, they keep count and stuff, they wear out super super quick.
Side question: I just got a pair of Jack Purcells, how do I keep the white rubber part looking fresh, bright and clean?
Anyone tried Doeks?
if i am a 44 on converse what am i in vans?
>>11352987
A toothbrush, a cloth, household cleaners (Comet, Ajax, Scrubbing Bubbles, Bleach, laundry detergent, whatever) and a jeweler's precision.
>>11354119
Honestly depends. I heard CDG converses fit a size bigger than regular?
So your probably an 9.5-10
