Men's Mesh Walking Shoes – Lightweight Knit Sneakers with Thick Sole
Men's Mesh Walking Shoes – Lightweight Knit Sneakers with Thick Sole
These men's mesh walking shoes are low-top casual sneakers with a knitted mesh upper, a mesh lining and a thick moulded sole with a ridged edge. They have a sock-like collar with pull tabs at the tongue and heel, and laces across the front. Easy Life Markets sells them in black, coffee and white, in sizes 39 to 44.
They are everyday shoes for walking, commuting and travel. A knit upper has no stiff panels to rub, it lets air through, and it weighs very little, which is why this style has become the default casual trainer. The supplier lists them as sports casual shoes for general use.

The supplier's chart also lists US, UK and EU equivalents, but its EU column does not agree with the size numbers on sale. We have left those columns out so they do not mislead. Go by foot length.
How to Measure Your Feet
- Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, wearing the socks you would wear with the shoes.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres.
- Measure both feet and use the longer one.
- Find the size whose foot length matches or is just above your measurement.
The supplier's guidance is to go up one size if your feet are wide or you have a high instep, and to stay with your measured size if your feet are of average width. If you are between two sizes, take the larger. If you would like help, send us your foot length and we will suggest a size.
A Straight Answer on the Details
- "Coffee". This is the supplier's colour name. In its photos the shoe is a light beige or sand colour, not a dark brown. Check the photo for the option before you order.
- Slip-on or lace-up. The supplier lists the wearing mode as a pull-on style. The photos show laces as well. The stretchy collar lets you pull the shoe on, and the laces adjust the fit.
- The sole. "Injection moulding" describes how the sole is made. The supplier does not name the material. Soles of this kind are usually light foam compounds, which are not as hard-wearing as solid rubber.
- Markings. The photos show a small label on the tongue and lettering on the side. These are the maker's own markings. We sell the shoes as unbranded.
- Not stated: Weight, insole material, whether the insole comes out, and any slip or water resistance. A mesh upper is not waterproof.
What They Are Good For
- Daily walking and errands
- Travel, because they are light and pack flat
- Standing or light gym use
- Warm weather, when a leather shoe is too hot
They are not built for trail running, heavy rain or work sites. The supplier lists them for general use, and that is how we would describe them.
About Knit Sneakers
Sneakers with one-piece knitted uppers have largely replaced stitched leather and nylon panels in casual footwear. The knit can be made tighter where the foot needs support and more open where it needs air, and with no seams across the toes there is less to rub.
How to Wear Them
- With joggers or tapered trousers, the cuff sitting just above the collar.
- With shorts and low socks in summer.
- With jeans for everyday wear.
Black is the most practical colour. White and coffee look fresher but show dirt sooner on a mesh upper.
Care
- Brush off dry dirt with a soft brush.
- Clean the upper with a cloth, cool water and a little mild soap. Do not scrub hard at the knit.
- Wipe the sole edge with a damp cloth.
- Take out the laces and wash them separately.
- Stuff the shoes with paper and let them dry in the air, away from heaters and direct sun.
- We do not recommend machine washing or tumble drying. Heat can warp a moulded sole and loosen the bond between sole and upper.
Who They Suit
Men who want a light, comfortable shoe for walking and everyday wear, and anyone who finds stiff trainers uncomfortable across the top of the foot.
