About PF Flyers
*75 Years of Classic American Sneakers*
No other brand represents the spirited enjoyment of classic American sport and recreation more than PF Flyers(R). From timeless court and tennis styles to iconic boots and deck shoes, PF has pioneered some of the most enduring designs in sneaker history. Generations of Americans have made the most of "work, relaxation and play" wearing PF Flyers(R).
Patented in 1933, Posture Foundation insole technology set a new standard in sneaker comfort. Its success grew and in 1937 became the basis for the brand name P-F Flyers. Sport styles by PF were legends of the 1950s, renowned for helping you "Run Faster and Jump Higher." Basketball's first superstar, Bob Cousy created a string of classic court shoes with PF, in the very first collaboration of its kind.
The green PF heel patch remains the unmistakable symbol of quality and the American spirit of play. In authentic reissues and modern classics, PF's heritage of clean-lined design, premium materials and Posture Foundation comfort continues to create milestones of sneaker style in every era!
PF Flyers Reviews
I had pairs of Converse for years, but after learning PF Flyers were not only still being made, but had better features than Converse, I had to check them out. I bought the Sandlot Hi Re-Issue last year, and they are way more comfortable and sturdy than Converse. Only way I'd buy another pair of Converse is if they were on sale and steeply discounted. Otherwise, my money will be spent on the Flyer's. The canvas is thicker, the sole is a bit thicker, and I like the arch insert and LOVE the texture on the toe box area. It looks bad-ass. I also like that the logo is rubber (not some thin glued-on thing) and actually on the outside. I usually don't like logos on my clothing, but with these shoes, I don't mind because they're so awesome. They're the same price as Converse, so it now doesn't make sense to me why anyone would buy a pair of Converse. As far as the fit, I decided to go a size up after reading the reviews about them. I wore a 10.5 in Converse, but got an 11 in these. After testing them in my apartment, I felt that size was perfect. And I rated the arch support as excellent because, for this type of shoe, they really do feel good. But if you're planning on jogging or something in these, that might not be the case. (But why would you be jogging in them, anyway?) The only issue I've had with these is that the arch insert thing squeaks a bit when it rubs against my socks. However, it's only noticeable when I'm, say, walking down a quiet hallway in my apartment building. In conclusion, if you want a pair of hi-tops or lo-tops, get some Flyers.
They are just like in the pic. They were for my son. He loves them. It takes a little bit more time to put on than regular sneakers. They have a good arch support and better quality and soles than Converse.
I love the shoe and how it looks. I just have a flat foot and it has too much arch support for me because it's the "Archival Re-Issue." Great product though.
I am not a fan of shoes that make one's feet look too big. As these shoes are quite narrow, the vertical ribs on the toe area help reduce the long appearance of the shoe. These vertical elements reduce a horizontal overload. The toe is a bit more rounded compared to Converse Chucks, as well as flat on the top of the toe cap. The metal grommets are the same color as the lace/canvas upper. This is a nice touch. The laces are a bit too long, and I ended up getting my own that were the appropriate length. However, the lace area is its own separate piece of fabric sewn into the rest of the upper. This provides a nice visual appeal and increased sturdiness. The toe cap is smaller than on a Converse Chuck Taylor, thus these do not make your foot look so long. The rubber side wall is a bit taller than on a Converse Chuck Taylor. I like the rubber PF logo on the outside ankle. I was worried the black on black would be too monochromatic, but the canvas is darker than the rubber sidewall. The sidewall appears more dark charcoal gray than black. They have a nice green PF logo on the back heel with a nice contrast gray stripe going up the back. The cushioned foot bed was surprising. I am used to canvas shoes having a bare minimum of cushioning. These feel like they have pillows in the inner sole. While narrow shoes, they fit true to size. I am a 10 in most shoes and found that a 10 worked for me with PF Flyers. The tongue does slip and ends up on the side of the shoe. Converse Chucks are so overdone, and while iconic, they are so cliche. Also, my dad, who grew up in the 50's and 60's tells me that most people wore PF Flyers. So, if you want true retro shoes and nice fashion piece that does not feel overplayed, then PF Flyers are for you. I have received a number of compliments from real sneaker aficionados. These shoes beat Converse hands down.
I love these! They have an incredibly supportive insole, making them squishy and comfortable, like skateboarding shoes. They're very well-made, and I've gotten tons of complements. Great everyday shoes.

These are wonderful shoes and a step up from Converse Chuck Taylors in my opinion. The styling and the fit are really good and the color on the product page is exactly how it looks in real life. Very happy with the purchase -- will order the natural white color soon!
First off, let me say this. I bought two pairs of shoes for my son for Christmas, which turned out to be the wrong size (my fault, not Zappos). When they didn't have the same shoes in his correct size, he chose two more pair, the PF Flyers and a pair of Sperry's Topsiders. All I can tell you is, Zappos is the greatest retailer on earth. They went above and beyond to get the replacement shoes to my son 24 hours later, at no additional expense to me. If every company ran itself like Zappos, this country would be flourishing. I've been a Zappos customer for 10 years, and they never, ever disappoint. Oh, my son loves his shoes as well. Thank you Zappos, don't ever change.
I love these shoes! They are super comfy and fit fantastic! I have always worn Chucks and wanted a pair of Flyers. Well I finally got a pair and now my husband wants a pair and I and getting more!
I love this shoe but am returning for a women's 9 which is my true size. Some reviews said they ran half a size big. I don't think so, but I do have a somewhat wide forefoot.
What can I say? Want to look like you know what "cool" is, well these shoes are it. As for Zappos -- couldn't be better. The arrival time in December even surprised me as they were quicker than they said. I would shop here again and again.
Love these shoes. They take a day or two to get used to; leather stretches but is always work to break in. I feel like they are more dressy then the casual PF Flyers, and this is my 3rd pair. Love the sole of the shoe. So comfortable, and I work on my feet all day long. Would buy another pair. They do seem to run small, so I normally wear a 12 and I always get a 13 in PF Flyer.
My teenage son wanted these shoes for Christmas, I had only heard of PF Flyers from the movie Sand Lot. Shipping time was super fast and the quality of the shoe is great, my son said they are comfortable. He has got lots of compliments on them. I think these are much better quality then Converse Going to purchase another paid in a different color.
December 2012, Based on past reviews I ordered a size smaller and found that to be a mistake. I returned them and ordered my regular size and they fit great. Apparently the sizing issue has been remedied. Even though they are made in China I was surprised at how well they are put together. Initially they were a little stiff out of the box but with just one day on my feel they are breaking in just fine and I am happy with the purchase. Thanks Zappos
Love the PF Flyers. I ordered the shoes 1/2 size bigger and they fit my son great. Ordering was quick and easy and shipping was free and the best thing was they arrived in time for Christmas. Thank you so much.

I love these shoes, they look really good, they fit good and I am very satisfied with them.
Dope boot. These bad boys arrived on the first day of snow where I live (central Cascades in Washington state) and they performed like champs right out of the box. Really nice look and feel to the boots. Very comfy. They were a bit big, I usually wear a 10, 10.5 and I ordered a 10. They fit okay enough with one pair of socks but I'll put some woollies over a dry-fit pair of Nikes and it works perfectly. I would definitely recommend these boots for both style and function uses.
I like these so much that when they fell apart after three years, I ordered an identical pair. They are essentially Chucks with arch support. I have narrow feet and they are very comfy. Only problem is my heels slide a bit, but this is probably because my feet are too narrow. It’s a common problem I have with shoes. Great everyday sneakers.
Using Zappos is do easy. I was always hesitant to purchase online unless I was absolutely sure of size, etc. but returning is so easy. And I realized Zappos is more than shoes. I bought a hair dryer fory daughter for Christmas on Zappos too. I will definitely use them more.
