I've been a fan of Converse Chuck Taylor "Chucks" for years and always have several pairs on the go but these PF Flyers, I tell you, are even better and I am definitely a new fan now.  Just like the Chucks, they are the 'old school' high-top style with the canvas uppers, rubber toe cap, rubber bumpers and rubber sole.  I bought the navy ones but will also get some in the other colours, too.  They are incredibly comfortable to wear because of the built-in arch supports inside the sole which distribute your weight more evenly than a regular pair of sneakers.  I wear these everywhere except the office and get compliments all the time.  The canvas and the rubber have a bit of a strong smell which offends some but, personally, I kind of like it.  Reminds me they are on my feet!  These sneakers are definitely NOT to be missed!  And, more over, you can't do any better at this price.
