Meanings

(dated) A shoe designed for leisure activities.
The shoes on this page […] resemble the shoes that women wear at the beach and in the country with slacks and playclothes. The stuff they are made of, however, is vastly different. Summer playshoes are made mostly of linen or cotton. These are made of gold and silver kid, jewel-studded suede and many combinations of bright leathers.
