PF Flyers

[Superb0bo]

I tried searching and small questions- thread, but no luck (does anybody actually read small q that doesnt ask something?)

How are PF Flyers, especially Center Hi, sized comapared to say Nike dunks and Chucks?

Anyone got input on old fashioned canvas sneakers in the same style as the above mentioned? Ive seen warehouse and such, but doubt they make my size...

thanks.

I am not sure how they compare to Chucks or Dunks (since I have neither), but I can say they fit pretty true to size. I wear an 11 (44 euro) in almost everything and these are no exception. They are pretty cool shoes and I picked up mine a few months ago at Base in South Beach for $25. Looks like they will only last about one year though before heading to the bin.

You'll probably want your PF Flyers 1/2 size bigger than your Chucks (I wear an 11 in Chucks and an 11 1/2 in PF Flyers)

I have a pair of Glides in the same size as my AF1s and Vans.
They run true to size (for me at least).

I tried on pro-keds and pf flyers a few years back, they both fit similarly. I would say that the pro-keds have a lot more cushion than chucks do... but I don't really remember too much else about the pf flyers.


you might check out the adidas nizza hi's too.

i am trying to think of some other hi-top canvas shoes... I am drawing a blank.

original vandals were canvas. blazers too.

true to sneaker size it is..

westside, thanks for the response. Both blazers and vandals have too much of a chunky 70s basket look for me though.

did you ever come to a solution for this? i think dunlop volley hi-tops are pretty much **** but they seem hard to find. have you checked out spring court baskets? i think sleazie pulls them off nicely and they come in various styles.

I ended up getting these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=019 recently. Still waiting for them... stupid non paypal seller.. The sneaks are pretty much what I was after though. Really "old school". I prefer canvas, but leather seemed nice for fall.

The spring court baskets are nice aswell, might get them next.. spring.
