Pepe Jeans Port Tourists canvas shoes

A summer walk from city streets to a terrace calls for something lighter than a bulky trainer. The jute edge stops this white canvas shoe feeling generic and works naturally with linen trousers, denim or shorts.

Pepe Jeans began in 1973 around London’s Portobello Road denim market and still centres casual clothing with a street influence. Port Tourists follows that relaxed line: canvas, metal eyelets and rubber handle daily wear, while the wrapped midsole adds an espadrille-like holiday note.

The listing describes the canvas as containing a high share of more sustainable cotton, but fit still depends on the last, size and sock thickness. White fabric also asks for more regular cleaning than a darker upper.

• EUR 41.28 live; reference EUR 80.00.
• Check model, stock and returns.
• Use the centimetre size chart to check forefoot width and sock thickness, and expect white canvas to need regular cleaning.

Measure the longest foot in centimetres before choosing the size and decide whether a little extra room is useful. A good-looking shoe that narrows the forefoot will not improve during a full walking day.
