I had to buy new shoes today. I was wearing Timberland canvas shoes for about 20 years, because they are damn comfortable, especially for driving. This year Timberland got quite ugly models, so I opted for the only good looking model that was more expensive than usual. Unfortunately in the morning I'm quite slow, so I figured out only at home they are thin leather, not canvas, despite looking identical to canvas models.
Long story short. I used the new shoes only for half an hour, and now my feet hurt. I had to keep the feet in water for half an hour to calm down the burning feel. If you like canvas shoes like I do, be careful with harder materials. I just realized that canvas makes feet skin become very delicate after a while.
Real work requires real shoes. Canvas is for painting. I do prefer rubber soled canvas "deck shoes" when I'm wading a creek fishing. Those rocks get extremely slippery. I found that the flexibility of the canvas with the rubber soles help me grip those slick rocks much better than anything else, even better than the bare feet.
