"I was looking for a casual sneaker that I could also wear to work (I'm a vet tech and on my feet for long hours) and decided to try these PF Flyers (after trying many others, including the expensive Italian ones--all were sent back). Glad I did--love them so much I purchased a second pair for a spare! Fit is perfect, including width--not too narrow like other canvas sneakers. The navy color on the inside sole did stain my white socks, but only for a few days and the stains came out after washing. The rubber on the toe keeps feet from getting wet on dewy early morning dog walks. I also love the retro look and the natural color--goes great with jeans, shorts, and even sweats!"
