Retro canvas trainers

About Victoria: Victoria is a Spanish footwear brand founded in 1915, still making trainers in Spain today. We stock them mainly for the classic canvas styles, particularly the 1915 Inglesa plimsolls, which have that unfussy retro look that works with jeans, dresses and school uniform alike. Sizes are in EU. Victoria publish UK and centimetres alongside each EU size on their website, and on the classic canvas Inglesa styles they say to choose one size larger than usual.

Victoria fit & sizing tips

  • Match foot length to the chart first. Victoria sizes in EU, and the centimetre column on their own size chart is the most reliable starting point.
  • Canvas Inglesa styles can feel snug. Victoria recommend sizing up on the classic canvas ranges, and we would too if you are between sizes or like a bit more room at the toe.
  • Canvas softens with wear. The cotton upper moulds to the foot after a few outings, so a close fit out of the box often relaxes.
  • Our take. A proper Spanish plimsoll brand with heritage back to 1915, best for easy casual wear rather than long walks or sport.

Victoria Children’s Shoes

This is the junior part of Victoria’s own 1915 Inglesa chart. Measure from the heel to the longest toe, add about a centimetre (they suggest 0.8–1.2 cm), and on the classic canvas styles choose one size larger than usual. Sizes on our site come and go with stock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Victoria trainers run true to size?

By foot length, yes, if you match the centimetre measurement on Victoria’s size chart to the EU size. On the classic canvas Inglesa styles, though, many people find them feel a size small in practice, and Victoria’s own advice is to go up a size, so we would treat their chart as your starting point and not be afraid to try the next size up.

Are Victoria shoes good for wide feet?

The canvas ranges run fairly narrow through the forefoot, so if you have a wider foot we would usually size up rather than stay in your usual length. Once the cotton has softened after a few wears, the fit often feels more forgiving, but we would not rely on that if they feel tight across the ball of the foot from new.

Should I size up in Victoria 1915 Inglesa canvas trainers?

We would, especially on the slip-on Inglesa styles. Victoria recommend choosing one size larger than usual, and that matches the feedback we hear from customers. Once you know your Victoria size, you can usually reorder with confidence.

Can you wash Victoria canvas trainers?

Yes. Victoria canvas trainers can go in the washing machine on a cool cycle (around 30°C), then air dry laid flat out of direct sunlight. A quick spin helps them dry before any water marks can settle into the fabric.

Do Victoria canvas trainers need breaking in?

They can feel firm and close through the toe for the first few wears, then the canvas relaxes and moulds to your foot. Most customers find them properly comfortable after a short break-in rather than needing weeks.

What are Victoria shoes best suited for?

Everyday casual wear. They are light canvas plimsolls with a vulcanised rubber sole, ideal for warm weather, holidays and knocking about town, but not really a shoe for long walks, rough terrain or serious arch support.
