Customer Reviews PF Flyers Bob Cousy - All American

PF Flyers vs Pro Keds vs Converse (Jack Purcell). Laces: Pro Keds and PF Flyers use cotton laces. Converse uses nylon laces, which don't like to remain tied. So I replaced them. How can you have a "vintage" shoe and use nylon laces?! Width: I have wide Samoan feet so I would rank the PF Flyers as being the widest at the toes, then the Pro Keds, and lastly the Converse. Softness of footbed: All three are about the same. The differences are really minor. Looks: Personally I like the way the Jack Purcells look best - just a pair of blue and white sneakers. But the painfully narrow toe box on the Converse makes the PF Flyers my overall winner, with the Pro Keds a close second.

Love them! I bought these in Navy. They are great! Really comfy. Just a heads up… I usually wear between a 9 1/2 - 10 in women’s and got these in a 9 1/2 and they fit perfectly.

Move over, Chuck Taylor. PF Flyers have never disappointed me. I have a pair of Center Lo's and Number 5's. Unlike those, the Bob Cousy doesn't have a removable insole. As a result, the cushioning and arch support feels more firm and supportive. They were comfy right out of the box. No break-in time was needed. Also, the fabric inside the heel is suede. I would recommend going up a half-size from your normal shoe size.

Comfortable and durable sneakers. They have that close, low cut canvas style that is similar, yet unique compared to Converse All Stars.

The quintessential summer shoe. Perfect sytle, perfect true-to-size fit, perfect all-day comfort. I'm on my feet most of the day at work. I don't event give my feet a thought! I also ordered another pair in 'natural'. PF Flyers are my favorite brand of foot wear. (We need more colors!) Thank you Zappos for your superior customer service, your return/exchange policy, your efficiency. You are the best shoe company out there!

Why wear Converse and look just like everyone else when you can be truly retro hip with PFs?

I just received these shoes and am already in love with them. The fit is nice and snug without being too restrictive. The styling is excellent. Overall, a very comfortable shoe!

Caveat: I'm reviewing from a woman's perspective, though I believe these are unisex shoes. These sneaks are cute and comfy. They do resemble all stars, but they've got a higher profile (lift), which I like. They fit true to size, nonetheless, the slightly rub and move around on my Achilles heel--but I solved that with gel inserts made for that spot. Finally, I think these are cute with bootcut jeans, shorts, and capris.

I like the look of white Converse All-Stars oxfords, but they always pinched my toes unless I sized up. These have the same look as the low-top Chucks, but with a wider toe-box and a more cushioned sole. They're light and breathable which makes them perfect for summer and only look cooler once worn out. OVERALL: More comfortable/wider than Converse or Vans.

I bought these in a fit of nostalgia, and was pleased to find they are as lightweight and comfortable as I remembered. They are a clear step up from Converse Chuck Taylors, roomier and more durable with better support. They seem a little over-priced, but I used to get them for ten bucks, so what do I know? I will definitely buy another pair of PF Flyers. Maybe today. Recommended.

Great shoes for a good price and the shipping at Zappos is excellent. I received this item 4 days before it was supposed to come and everything I get from here comes way early.

These shoes are on par with Converse. I liked the fit and feel. Unfortunately I have a short pinkie toe and these rubbed on the seem.

Wow! This shoe is something special, it looks great with shorts or pants and feels amazing. The make is different and is sure to raise questions.

I bought a pair of these in natural about two years ago. I have been a life long Cons person and still wear them, but this pair of PF Flyers has been amazing. I bought some similar hi-tops in black that are not as comfortable, but I have taken this pair all over the place, worn them non stop and done everything from hike, workout, walk through cities, travel and they are seriously comfortable and even look better as they get trashed from use. I could not rate a shoe like this any better.

Much more comfortable than a Converse or Vans, especially if you have a slight arch and like the support on that part of your feet. Would buy another pair of PF Flyers! So long Converse and Vans.

Love this sneaker, it's old school brought back to the future! Been looking to purchase a pair of PF Flyers and of course Zappos is the place to go! This is great summertime sneaker that goes good with just about anything you want to wear.

Classic lines, clean execution and crisp detail. These PF Flyers are a great look with jeans and chill slacks. Highly recommend. The mix of matte and shiny are well thought out and give the shoe a classy touch.

I got the white ones and I like them a lot. The arch support is welcome and they look nice. Only notes are that they are very much off-white. And there is a strange strap that laces on at the top that I didn't notice when looking at the photos, but I don't mind it at all.

Much better fit than Converse - I'm a convert. If you love Converse All Stars but need a bit more cushion, toe room and width, these are terrific. Emphasis on "a bit": do not expect to go running or walk all day in these shoes. Fashion more than comfort. I wear 9 wide and ordered a woman's 9: fits perfectly.

Search has ended for a cool casual shoe in gray - I wanted an all gray casual shoe and searched Zappos site by color and genre and these showed up. It's not easy to find an all gray shoe. Converse Gray Chucks have the white soles I didn't want. It was between these or the Ecko Unlimited Whellers that also came up, but they were more black with gray. Ordered 9.5 US and fit perfectly with my own thin insole for additional arch as these shoes are fairly flat. Shoes arrived promptly and packed well with original box as straight as from factory. Zappos saved me a lot of time trying to find what I wanted.

A very awesome pair of shoes - I bought these for my son only a few days before Christmas and they were here the next day. Very convenient. He loves them, I bought him the blue version of this shoe and he said these were exactly what he wanted, so overall it was a very good purchase. He says the shoes are very comfortable and his only wishes are that they had more of the larger sizes in stock because he wants some of the other colors available.
