peer agreement (net): +1Sandals with straw platform soles Explanation: Doesn't seem to be an established term, Liz.. My guess is they are either (women high(er) heel) sandals made of woven straw, like a Chinese straw hat material (flat) used to make a shoe, NOT like Japanese straw sandals, OR Sandals on platform soles made of straw, this seems the most likely case if we're talking late 60's, see link, OR Canvas shoes, like Keds, but we'd call those 'kecky' and they wouldn't be subject to much catwalking...

16 hrs confidence:
canvas espadrilles/shoes Explanation: I personally remember 'plaťáky' (back in early 90s) looking as canvas espadrilles on the link below. Back then, just after WWI, it could be any type of canvas shoes though. IMO. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2013-01-09 09:52:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or "canvas footwear". I would think something with 'canvas'. Reference: http://www.surfdome.com/Mens_Espadrilles-c1359/ |
