Connect: Plimsoll
The shoe acquired the nickname ‘plimsoll’ in the 1870s because the colored horizontal band joining the upper to the sole resembled the Plimsoll line on a ship’s hull, or because, just like the Plimsoll line on a ship, if water got above the line of the rubber sole, the wearer would get wet.
