fabric shoes

Cloth-covered foot coverings

Shoes made with cloth uppers rather than leather or synthetic materials.

Canvas sneakers, espadrilles, and slip-ons are common fabric shoes.

They're typically lighter and more breathable than leather alternatives but offer less water resistance: Fabric shoes aren't ideal for rainy weather.

The term is descriptive rather than a formal category.
