As a child, I can remember wearing either Keds or Converse shoes to school every day. They were all the rage then, and they are still super popular among children and adults alike. The only complaint I ever really had about these canvas shoes was that they got dirty really easily, and once they were dirty, they weren't exactly easy to clean. If you bleached them, they could turn yellow and the canvas could tear, and washing them in the washer could cause them to shrink a bit or tighten up. Now that my daughter is wearing them regularly, I needed to find an easy way to clean them without damaging them.
