Canvas is an upper material, not a comfort specification
Canvas can deliver a casual appearance, but the shoe beneath it may have a flat sole, a contoured footbed or very different heel construction. Look past the material name to the closure and interior. A canvas shoe with a supportive removable footbed is not equivalent to a thin plimsoll simply because both have a fabric upper.
Skechers Arch Fit Arcade Meet Ya There is a specific candidate with canvas, tied-off laces and a removable Arch Fit insole. The closely named See Ya There version carries the Hands Free Slip-ins feature. Keep those names separate when comparing listings; similar styling does not establish identical entry mechanics.
Decide whether you need adjustable laces
Fixed or tied-off laces simplify entry, but they provide less opportunity to change tension across the instep. Try the opening rather than assuming it will stretch enough. A conventional laced canvas shoe may be the more sensible shape to compare if one foot needs noticeably different upper tension from the other.
The insole also deserves attention. If you need to use an existing insert, establish that it sits flat and leaves adequate room for the foot. Removability alone does not guarantee that a deeper or more contoured insert will fit. Without an insert requirement, judge the stock footbed on its own rather than treating removal as an upgrade.
Keep care expectations realistic
Do not assume canvas means machine washable. Follow the care instructions for the full shoe, including its glue, trims and insole. A pale pair used for everyday errands may need more frequent cleaning than a darker one, but aggressive cleaning can be a poor tradeoff for appearance.
For a long pavement walk, compare the canvas candidate against a purpose-built walking shoe. The casual shoe wins only if its fit and underfoot feel work for that route; light fabric and an easygoing appearance are not evidence of long-distance performance.
