sandshoes

Canvas beach footwear

Sandshoes are lightweight canvas shoes with rubber soles, used for sports or casual wear.

The term is primarily Australian and New Zealand English, equivalent to sneakers or plimsolls elsewhere: I'll just throw on my sandshoes and we can go.

Despite the name, they're not specifically designed for sand.
