Love these! They run about a half size big. (Bought 14's, needed 13's) Also there is more material on the top of the shoe (than Chuck Taylors) so I had to put some Dr. Scholls in there so the laces weren't as tight as they could be. But now they fit great. I have flat feet and these offer much more support than Chucks. Highly recommend, will always be in style.

Awesome product. Does squeak in the heel sometimes, but overall I'm very happy with my purchase. They look great and everyone is always impressed.

The shoes are stylish and great-looking, but they produce a ridiculous squeak when I walk. I suppose that PF Flyers have always claimed to make you "run faster and jump higher." Now, I realize that this is true just because you're forced to walk on the balls of your feet so as to avoid sounding like a duck when you walk.

I absolutely love these shoes. I didn't have one problem fitting into them. I receive tons of compliments when I wear them. The only problem I have with them is that they make a farting noise when I walk in them. I've never had that problem with any other shoe I have ever purchased.

I\'ve been wearing chucks since I can remember the flyers are great shoes but not perfect.\r\n\r\nPros:\r\nThey have far more support and feel far more substantial than all-stars. They also take far longer to wear in.\r\nOver all they feel much better than any pair of chucks I\'ve every owned, at least that I can remember in the last 15+ years.\r\nThe sole actually provides traction- the sole of a pair of chucks may as well be greased with butter.\r\n\r\nCons:\r\nThey don\'t shape your feet as well as all-stars... they aren\'t as comfortable in that respect.\r\nAlthough I suspect that these would out last a pair of chucks (which is saying a lot) the rubber on the side (near the sole) of the flyers has (in only 2 months of use) started to slightly break away from the canvas.\r\nThese look much fatter (wider) than a pair of chucks.\r\nThe green dye that is used in areas on the inside of the shoe wears off on your socks pretty badly.\r\n\r\nOver all:\r\nReally good shoe but not good enough to switch completely from chucks. I think I might keep buying both- flyers are not a better shoe, they are a different shoe.\r\n\r\nAlso like the other reviews say you\'ll want to size up from a pair of chucks- I found that buying a half-size up worked perfect.\r\nFlyers are a half-size smaller than chucks.

I needed 1/2 size larger than Chuck Taylors. Fit, comfort, etc. are about equal to Converse. Just some minor styling differences. I was a little disappointed because there is no more arch support than Chuck Taylors. For me it's a toss up- buy either one.

Run Faster Jump Higher -
I bought these because of conformity. Not because I wanted to conform, but quite the opposite. They are a unique sneaker, unlike the Converses they are a cool retro shoe that is rare to see, making you the center of attraction.
pros: you can run from monster dogs like Benny "The Jet" Rodriegez (SandLot)
cons: Though it says it does, not much arch support.

The Coolest Shoes Ever if you love The Sandlot...
I have wide feet so when wearing for a long time they get a little uncomfortable for me, but they are so sweet. Thank You Beeny "The Jet" Rodriguez for allowing me to know how to run fast and jump higher.

Fun and Retro -
I bought these for my son who has told me they are quite comfortable. The shoe is solid and looks to be well put together. My son is tough on shoes and they are holding up to his extreme pounding.

Shoe review -
My shoes arrived overnight. Awesome. The first day I wore them they felt fine, then for some reason they were tight across my toes. I don't know if it was the thrill of having new shoes, but they're just uncomfortable in the toe region, which is sad, because the shoe, itself, is just hot.

Don't slip like Converse!
Pure rubber in these shoes- unlike Converse that uses a plastic-rubber mix. I nearly broke my neck on wet surfaces a couple of times in my All Stars. These are much better even though they are made by the same company.

These shoes are cool. A little snug on the sides. The customer service was awesome.

Jump higher! Run faster! Guaranteed. :o)
Bought the Sandlot version of these sneakers for my husband. He loves them and is the envy of all the guys at the office. Thank you Zappos.com!!! You guys are the fastest on the net. We're pretty much convinced that your whole team must be wearing PF Flyers.

Great look and comfy -
Great deal... love the classic look and the inner sole is soooo soft... I am flat-footed... And I usually need more support, but the inner soles worked alright compared to other shoes.... it's worth the buy.

Good, but a feel a little small/narrow -
Overall what I expected. Put comfort a little lower, because I think they're a bit narrow and overall felt a little small. I'm a pretty true size 13, and don't normally have issues but they did bother my feet a little, especially at first. They look great, and are breaking in.

These are cool looking shoes, but if you have feet wider than B width, they won't fit!

This shoe is really comfortable. The only problem I see is that since it is canvas, there is absolutely no padding on the sides, so when I bang up the sides of my feet, it hurts. Other than that, awesome shoe, and it looks amazing. Yes, they do make you run faster and jump higher!

PF Flyers are back -
The PF Flyers are back. My natural color high tops are snug in the toes for a person with wider feet. I will order a blue pair of high tops next but will probably go a full size larger next purchase due to the pinky toe discomfort.

PFs vs. Chucks -
I got the black monochrome Center Hi shoes… I love the cool retro style of these and they have a unique look to them that's different from the Converse Chucks, which is what I like the most. The fit and feel of these shoes is a little different, too, which for me took a little getting used to at first. Had a lot of slippage in the heels, which was easily solved thanks to Dr. Scholl's. Be sure to order PFs a half size larger than what you normally wear because they run small (another thing that's different from the Chucks).

Awesome shoes, but........
Great shoes. Everyone freaks when I show them what I have found and love them. But I was horribly disappointment to read "made in China" on the inside of the shoe. I couldn’t believe that a shoe with so much American history isn’t even made here anymore. So, as much as I love them, I won’t be buying another pair.

Great shoes -
I got these shoes a day after I ordered just like Zappos promised and I couldn't have been more pleased. As soon as I saw these shoes I had to have them because I love "The Sandlot." The shoes are great although I ordered them a little too small. Just don't try to run in these shoes in wet grass b/c there is very little traction and you'll end up on your butt every time.

Better than Chucks -
Long time Converse wearer, now PF convert. Fill the same niche while being all around a superior product. More comfortable, better built, and less likely to be seen on every single foot at the mall.

PF Flyers's Center Hi Re-Issue -
Definitely looks better than Converse Chucks, but Converse Chucks a little bit better in quality. Chucks run one full size larger than marked, while PF Flyers run true to size, so don't order one size smaller as you would with Chucks. If you are looking for better overall quality go with Chucks. If you want sufficient quality with better looks, go with PF Flyers.

Excellent, classic and essential shoe to own. A must have, especially if you love The Sandlot and aspire to one day be Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez. You will successfully pickle all beasts in your life while wearing these shoes. As a PF Flyer owner, you may experience some or all of the following:
-Increased confidence
-Increased speed in all directions (Linear, Lateral, and "To the Edge")
-Increased ability to pull chicks and dudes
-Decreased anxiety and depression
-Improved chances to make the MLB
-Decreased time spent alone, unless, of course, you want to be alone
-Improved cognitive functioning (IQ boosts have been reported as high as +50)
-Increased jumping ability
-Increased chance to become Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, Walter Payton, Wayne Gretzky, Roger Federer, Pele, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps or any other world class athlete
You will find little to no therapeutic benefits or arch support from this shoe. All benefits are strictly cognitive. However, if you buy this shoe you will never regret your decision and will obtain a supermodel spouse in little to no time. BUY THIS SHOE!

I like them over all but the durability is in question since they are all ready starting to delaminate where the rubber meets the canvas after one day of wearing.
