first pair of tennis shoes i've bought in at least 6-7 yrs.

What was the toy they used to give out when I was a kid? Some kind of de-coder ring I believe.

Old School & comfy...........

Didn't know they still made PF Flyers....

"Fish faster, Hunt Higher with PF Flyers!

I always wanted a pair of PF Flyers!

All us kids used to wear those black canvas track shoes...

Those SOB's nearly ruined my feet. No arch support at all. As a teenager, my feet were flat as a pancake.

Then, started wearing GOOD boots full time, and my arches came back to some extent.

Those old canvas shoes didn't do us any favors. But, they were cheap, and at the time, my parents needed "cheap" especially with me going through about 2-3 shoe sizes a year.

these have good soles in them and they're not cheap anymore.

you must be talking about the old cross country tennis shoes, with the three strips on the side..

Yep. That's them!

A damn mesquite thorn goes right through the bottom of those, too!

I worked with a colored guy that wore the slip on shoes with the white bottoms. Called them roofin shoes. They wouldn’t slip on steep metal roofs.

I loved them, when i could find them when mine wore out. Yes, thorns would go through, but when they did you could jump real nhigh.
Usually got the flat pf once a year.

Those flat ones made your feet burn the fist day of wear.

Oh heck - now I want new sneakers. This site!
