A moderately worn Dunlop Volley.

Dunlop Volley is a brand of sandshoe popular in Australia, similar to the Plimsoll shoe. It is constructed of canvas with a rubber sole. The distinctive herringbone tread is famous for its excellent grip, making the shoe a favourite among roofing contractors and canyoners. It was introduced by the British company Dunlop in 1939, and has had only minor changes to its design in over sixty years. Originally plain white in design, a green and gold stripe was added to the heel in the 1960s. Today, the standard design is white with a double-blue stripe on the heel, while the green and gold stripe and an all-black version are also available.

A pair of Volleys subjected to prolonged wear-and-tear will develop two distinctive holes. Firstly, where the canvas meets the rubber sole at the big toe, and secondly, at the widest part of the shoe where the pinkie-toe will subsequently be exposed. Such holes are rarely thought to be a condition to retire the shoe, however, they may be relegated to less fashionable uses.

According to a recent study done by Dunlop, Annette Janssen has the worst pairs of volleys ever. Well, i guess its suits the mother then. Since she is the worst mother alive today.
