PF Flyers Men's Center Lo Canvas Sneaker

For the uninitiated let me introduce you to the killer app of canvas shoes. Forget Chuck's, forget the Ked's Pro Royals because the PFs are where its at. Heaver canvas, better stitching and better rubber is what you get for less than what Chuck's will set you back. I wore Chuck's for over 10 years religiously and switched a few years ago when Nike took over and a basic pair of All Stars started going for what a pair a Nike's go for. I got this particular pair to replace my old pair of High Top PFs that are my gym shoes. The last pair finally started showing their 3 years of age with the only thing fraying was the racing stripe on the back and the eyelets started to warp. But I squatted many a 400 pound load and dead lifted even more in these for hours and hours each week. I probably could have gotten a few more years out of them but what the hay. You also get a wider toe box with PFs versus Chuck's and as with all canvas shoes little to no arch support but that is preferred for dead lifting (I am from the West Side School of flat weight lifting shoes). So get a pair they are great.

Superb shoes! I am a huge fan of canvas sneakers; I have more pairs than I care to admit in an array of colors that even Bob Ross (may he rest in peace) would envy. I was a Converse man for many years, but after buying my first pair of PF Flyers, they have become my daily shoe and I've never looked back. Don't get me wrong I still love my All-Stars, but for roughly the same price the PF Flyers are simply a better shoe. They're more comfortable, have more support, look and feel more solid, and just stay looking better longer than the Converse. Converse tend to break down and feel thin over time, and the sole starts to "curl". Never had this issue with the PFs. If you like canvas sneakers, these are the king. You may not run faster or jump higher, but your feet will thank you. Just buy them already. You won't be disappointed.

Read update Initial :....Love my flyers, in my eyes they are better then Cons. I have had well over 100 pairs of con in my life time, this is my first Flyers and I'm pleased. Comfortable, I bought them late in Oct it's now Dec 21. Sad I paid more them I would for my Cons and in less then 60 days the rubber uppers a peeling away

I have been running my fastest and jumping my highest since I received my Center Lo's. The sand canvass and gum rubber are cool and, after 3.23 seconds, the posture foundation, which does, indeed, nudge your weight over the lateral aspect of your sole, feels like it's exactly what I should always have been walking on. Run and jump but keep them clean and wear them out on Saturday night with the correct jeans. I'm a 10 1/2 and the 10 1/2's are goldilocks.

I was expecting a lighter blue like in the picture but instead they are a dark dark navy...maybe they will fade but again the picture do not look like the product....Amazon needs to hire someone to make sure what they are advertising is what they are actually selling. About 25% of the time what i ordered does not look like what i get.

These shoes are great! I have wide feet and could never fit into Converse All Stars, but these are wide enough to fit comfortably. I ordered the same size I wear in Nike and they fit well. I may have been able to go a half size smaller. As others have mentioned, they are a little wide in the heel bed. These are a great casual shoe that have the look I was going for.

I guess the PFs run a full size smaller than converse, id say they are the same size run as vans eras or slipons My foot fit into the shoe but not comfortably at all. I wear 9.5 in vans Slipons, and 8.5 in converse, Id definitely order 9.5 in these PFs if I were to try again.

Really can't get much better than PF Flyers for the price. The does does run slightly narrow but my foot is wider than average. I wear a size 12 for most shoes that fit true-to-size, and a 13 for anything on the small side. I went with the 13 and it fit perfectly. I've gotten tons of compliments but once I mention the Sandlot, everyone wants to know where to get themselves a pair.
