Plimsolls, also known as canvas shoes or gym shoes, were first made in the mid-19th century, with their design typically attributed to the 1830s. They became popular as athletic footwear, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The name "plimsoll" is derived from the unique rubber sole that resembles the line on a ship's hull that indicates the safe water level.
