Looking for rubber soled summer shoe, more dress than sneaker

As in the subject, I'm looking for a rubber-soled shoe suitable for warm weather. Lance at VCH had an ideal pair of Sutor Mantellassi linen/leather monk straps that I was going to buy next pay day, but some vicious bastard beat me to the score.

I've been thinking Converse hi-tops, but I'd rather have something more towards a dress shoe than a sneaker (but still firmly in casual territory) and Cons are a bit obvious anyway. I'd rather have something in canvas or linen over leather. No slip-ons or boat shoes. This is a possibility, but something sleeker would be preferred.

Any ideas?

edit forget it, buy a casual dress shoe and then add rubber soles. Or just go buy suede off white bucks.
