Yes!! Growing up in Somerset, we had plimsoles. In fact, I still use the term, much to the confusion of the "locals" out here! And that "paint"! If you didn't put enough on, the dirt showed through. If you put too much on, at least out here in the heat, when dry, the coating cracked and the plimsoles looked *awful*!!
