Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 06, 2018

That is one massive hot foot!

Had totally forgotten about P F Flyers. Moved from them to Chucks. Now Chucks are making a come back. Wonder if Flyers will too.

How long has it been since P.F.Flyers were even MADE??

The thrill of it all. Love and Hugs for Red and Rover

Cool! Reminds me of coming out of the shoe store with the new tennis shoes my mom just bought my brother and me and racing down the sidewalk. :-)

We had Red Ball Jets – they had a red dot on back of the sole mid-heel.

Converse tennis, we had to wear them till more toes were on the outside than the inside. As hard as we were on them that was usually about 1/2 a summer.

PF Flyers is a brand of athletic shoes that are currently manufactured by New Balance. In 1933, canvas footwear pioneer BF Goodrich patented the Posture Foundation insole, and began adding the new technology to its action shoes. Goodrich shoes with Posture Foundation became known simply as “P-F” in 1937. Fashion trends in the Forties and Fifties saw PF Flyers expand from gyms and ball fields to become fashionable active footwear. “Everything you do is more fun with PF” read one 1947 magazine ad. PF styles ranged from high- and low-top sport shoes to oxfords and moccasins “for work, relaxation and play.” By the 1960s, PF was one of the most popular shoes in America, but struggled with industry changes in the early Seventies. In 2001, New Balance purchased PF Flyers. PF designers modernized Posture Foundation and New Balance re-launched the PF brand in 2003. The brand has been regaining momentum since then.
