The "sand shoe" or simply plimsoll is a type of athletic shoe with a canvas upper and rubber sole. It is required whenever someone may have a chance of going aboard a boat as a guest. Like the contemporary Sperry "Top-Sider" shoe, the sand shoe would prevent damage to a boat's deck, and may prevent slipping on a wet surface.

Rubber soles were good for scouting too (PP12).
