Plimsolls are a type of athletic shoe with a canvas upper and rubber sole, developed as beachwear in the 1830s by the Liverpool Rubber Company ( later to become Dunlop). Plimsolls were originally, and often still is in parts of the UK, called a "sand shoe" and they acquired the nickname "plimsolls" in the 1870s. This name derived according to Nicholette Jones book "The Plimsoll Sensation" because the coloured horizontal band joining the upper to the sole resembled the Plimsoll line on a ship's hull. In the UK plimsolls  were compulsory in school physical education lessons and are generally known as Plimsolls or pumps. Regional terms are common. Plimsolls in Northern Ireland and Western Scotland are known as gutties and parts of Southern England and Wales they are known as daps or dappers. There is widespread belief that "daps" is taken from the factory sign "Dunlop Athletic Plimsolls" which was called the DAP factory.. However this seems unlikely as the first citation in the Oxford English Dictionary of "dap" for a rubber sole shoe is a March 1924 use in the Western Daily Press newspaper, but Dunlop did not acquire the Liverpool Rubber Company until 1925.
Since 2007 plimsolls have become a major fashion statement with many celebrities influencing their come back
