Customer Reviews PF Flyers Center Lo Re-Issue

A great alternative to Chuck Taylors! I took a chance on these since I normally buy Converse. But as anyone knows that has worn a pair of Chucks there is not a lot of support. These PFs are comfortable and well-built. They are slightly heavier looking than Converse, but the better support is well worth it. The main difference I find in the shoes is the heal is cut lower on the PFs. This is not an issue for me. But make sure you don't buy too large a size or they may slip. PFs are also less expensive. Give these a shot if you normally buy Converse. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

I ordered as similar as size to what I wear in Chuck Taylors, but these feel much tighter and a bit shorter in the toe area. In Chuck Taylors, I wear a men's 4/women's 6, UK size, 4, European size 36.5 and 23 cm. I ordered these PF Flyers Center Lo Re-Issue in a men's 4.5/women's 6, UK size 4, European size 37, and 22.5 cm. The sizes don't seem to exactly transfer, since in European sizes the CT are half size smaller, but the cm measurement say they are half cm larger than the the PFF, I think I will return these and order a half size (American) larger I hope this detailed description of sizes helps someone.

Pinky toe killer! These shoes are so cute and if they weren't trying to constantly murder my pinky toes, they would earn 5 stars since the rest of the shoe fits well.

I bought these as a gift for my husband - he was very excited to get them as he always wanted a pair when he was a kid.

These are my second pair of these shoes. I like the look and they're comfortable, the only problem is that the rubber at the sides near the toe starts to crack within a year. I still like them as casual shoes though.

I love my PF Flyers. This is my second pair. They are comfortable, but not for walking in all day long because it slips in the heel a little bit, but I have narrower feet. They are adorable with rolled-up jeans or shorts. I love the retro style.

Great shoes. Much more support and comfort than Chucks. Be sure to size down.

Very comfortable shoe. Much more than Chuck's. However, they squeak terribly. Don't know if it's just me, but it hasn't stopped yet. Four stars because of the squeak.

I just got these today. I wore them outside already to break them in, so there's no turning back now! Here's my feedback so far: I ordered a Women's 8.5, Men's 7, and I usually wear an 8.5 or 9, depending on the brand. I have really skinny feet with almost non-existent arches, and I need a wide toebox. Strange, maybe, but this has made it hard for me to wear Converse All-Stars or Chuck Taylors before. I love how much padding there is, for a non-athletic shoe. I had some issues when I first put them on, with the saddle (the area across the top of the shoe where the laces hit). It was tight enough but I wish that the tongue of the shoe was either padded or longer. Maybe I'm crazy but that's what I was hoping for. While walking, the shoe seemed to start to fit my foot a little better. By the time I got home, I wasn't even thinking about my feet. That means these are winners! I was just looking for something easy to put on for running out to get groceries or walking my dog. These are great for that! I'm not sure if I will ever wear them to work -- we'll see how these shoes feel after a day of shopping or something before I do that. So far, I like them, and I would recommend them. And Zappos is my favorite!

I'm a return PF Flyer buyer and love that they have more support than Chuck Taylors. These run true to size, perhaps a bit big. And I love the red detailing. I highly recommend. (I give these four stars because to me five stars means "perfect," and that's incredibly rare.)

Well, about what I expected. Just a good every day knock-about. Sole and heel cushioning is not great, a throw back to earlier times. I definitely prefer my Nikes if walking on rougher surfaces. Arch support is minimal even with the supplied insert. After reading other reviews about toe room I ordered both my regular size 12 and a 13. Kept the 13's, returned the 12's because of that toe factor! Construction appears quality, even if imported. In spite of shortcomings, yes, I would recommend and would probably buy it again, particularly considering Zappos generous buy-it, try-it policy.

Not surprisingly, these were really comfortable right out of the box. Cute too. The only mini issue I have is that they are cut a little low at the heel. Something to get used to, however, not bothersome enough to make me return them. A good buy for sneakers.

I love the look of these shoes. I have average width feet, but these tend to rub my baby toes on each foot, so in the future, I might try a wider size. They have a tiny bit of arch support which I like. No blisters with these shoes! I like the darker color, but these were on sale and are still adorable. You can also take out the insoles and put in your own really easily. My old PF Flyers lasted about seven years and I wore them pretty often. I am pretty hard on my shoes, so I take that as a well made pair of shoes. My husband did not like them due to not enough arch support though. He did think they were quite stylish.

As I expected, the style is exceptional, and a classic look that harkens back to yesteryear. Unfortunately, the simple canvas uppers did give me some heel blisters, which I'm hoping is just a symptom of the breaking-in period. I look forward to wearing these as a nice addition to my wardrobe!

These shoes are really cute, really well priced and, ultimately, pretty comfortable - altho' I inserted my own orthaheel inserts as I need a lot of arch support. Probably if you have nice young feet, they will be comfy right out of the box, but I have (yuck!) bunions and arch issues, so they took a few wears to get comfy - and I still have to wear them with little socks. All that being said, they ARE really cute and I love them!

Comfortable and nice looking shoe. Looks better than Converse on someone with longer feet like me. Converse just has a longer look because of a 'skinnier' shoe and I think more eyelets. However, as someone else mentioned, the insoles are really not good. They're thick, but very low quality. I replaced mine with good ones and now I am comfortable!

These are way more comfortable than Vans or Converse. But I suggest you size down half a size because your feet may flop around a bit. But other than they are one of the best shoes I have ever bought.

The shoe seems to have a very nice construction and a classic look, yet they were at least an entire size too large.

Really happy with the shoes. They look great. I returned the first pair because they were a little larger than I expected. But other than that, they are great.

Comfort wise, these have better arch support and are wider than the Converse. However, after a couple of wearings I realized I simply did not like the all black (I thought I would) and at 8 1/2 the shoe is way too big. These are personal errors in judgment and not a problem with the shoe itself.

Disclaimer: my feet are flat, wide, and have bunions so I am pickier than average. My boyfriend swears by PFs so I decided to try them out. They're super comfy to stand around in, but I don't think I'll be a repeat customer since I feel like they don't hold on to my foot well when I walk. The sole feels stiff (even after a few months) and I guess the shape isn't good for me, so they change my gait a bit. Your mileage may vary. Basically I just wear them when I know I won't be walking too much and want some easy/good-looking slip-ons.

They are really cute and I like the vintage look - the size was just right but they run a little narrow though. I have wide feet and felt because they are mens shoes they would fit wider and its not the case - they felt like a womens width.

I thought the shoe was a little wider than I expected, but that was good for me. I had hesitated to purchase because I needed a wide shoe, so it was perfect for me. I found it difficult to adjust to a shoe which was so flat, but I'm okay with it and will buy another pair. Had a hard time finding the proper inserts for it to fit my foot, but it's very comfortable now.

I love these shoes, wear them almost every day. I also own the Hi tops and those are awesome as well. Stiff at first but, give them a week and they will feel great.

These shoes are very comfortable, but my heel keeps slipping out of them. I will return them for the high-rise.
