..as I had PFs as a small tyke...by the time I was being a pain about what shoes >I< wanted we were firmly planted in converse country.
We called them All-Stars. I've come to learn that in Philly they called them "Chucks" because they were officially "Chuck Taylor All Stars".
High top canvas. The coolest.
HOWEVER, while knowing that I had PFs, I don't remember them from my childhood...I was told later in life that I wore them. I know PFs from later life and family members working for BF Goodrich, who invented and sold the PF Flyers.
