Velcro Canvas Shoes For Mens

A canvas upper and a velcro strap together are a narrow brief, and we would rather tell you when a shoe is leather than pretend it is canvas. What we can fit are men’s velcro shoes from Josef Seibel, Clarks and Kickers, often in black or tan, some of them canvas and some a close casual.

They are worth a look when bending to tie a lace has become awkward. Width changes with the maker, so a wide fit is a question for the fitting stool, not for a photograph on a screen.

 

What to look for in velcro canvas shoes for men

Upper and fastening

  • Canvas if that is truly what you want, and a leather casual only if we have said so
  • A strap that holds the instep without cutting across it
  • A heel counter that keeps the back of the shoe on your foot as you walk
  • A lining that will not rub once your usual socks are on

Width and easy fastening

Wide fit canvas shoes for men are a common request, though not every brand makes them and not every size is in. Ask us, and we will only call a shoe wide fit when that model is made in a wide fitting. Men’s velcro shoes for elderly wearers are a fair request when laces are difficult. A strap may be more comfortable. It is not a treatment for pain, swelling or numbness, which are questions for a podiatrist.

Fitting tips from our fitters

  • Measure both feet. We fit to the larger foot. A strap hides a poor length less kindly than people expect.
  • Wear the socks you mean to keep. A thick sock and a thin one are different shoes.
  • Close the strap as you will wear it. It should lie flat. A twisted strap bites after an hour.
  • Walk the shop. The heel should not lift, and the toes should not meet the end when you stride.
  • Bring an old pair. The wear on the sole tells us more about your walk than a guessed size.
  • Say if you need width. Clarks and Josef Seibel are the names to start with. We will check the fitting rather than assume it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you actually have velcro canvas shoes for men?

Sometimes, and we will say when we do not. The brands to ask for are Josef Seibel, Clarks and Kickers. If the pair in your hand is leather, we will call it leather. Ordering unseen is how a narrow shoe ends up in the back of a cupboard.

Can I buy men’s velcro shoes in the UK without guessing the fit?

Yes. We fit men’s velcro shoes in the UK at the shop in Maidstone. An Amazon listing can show you a colour. It cannot show you how the strap sits on a high instep, or which width your larger foot needs.

Are these shoes only for older men?

No. Anyone who wants a fastening without laces can wear them, and older men ask most often because tying up has stopped being easy. Comfort is the aim. Medical foot problems still belong with a podiatrist, and you are welcome to bring their advice with you.

Will I find velcro canvas shoes in the sale?

Only when a pair has genuinely been reduced. Men’s sale shoes are gathered on their own page, and canvas or velcro styles appear there if we have them. The link at the top of this page is the place to look.

Visit us on Gabriel’s Hill in Maidstone and bring the shoes you wear now. We will measure both feet and tell you honestly what we can fit. You may also like our men’s formal trainers.
