We have little information on sandals in Canada. We do not believe that they were very common in Canada and hve found very few photographs of Canadian boys wearing sandals. We do, however see a few photographs of Canadian boys wearing sandals. We note what we be believe to be a Canadian family wearing sandals. Note the boys and girls wear sandals, although the girls wear double bar and boys single bar sandals. Here we see a Quebec boy wearing double bar sandals in 1959 (figure 1). Note that the boy here wears the double bar style that the firlks were wearing in the 1920s photograph. This is a good example of how there was no widely accepted gender conventions concerning the different types of sandals. We suspect that trends were similar to those in the northern part of the United States, although even less common. Of course climate is a factor. There are fewer warm months in Canada and this is normally the time that sandals were most commonly worn.
