So, i've always liked the looks and style of the classic Converse sneakers but they are so uncomfortable, never seem to fit my foot right and are heavy. My PFs are so much more comfortable, way lighter than Converse, actually fit my foot and are stylish. I'm an old guy,68, but I get most of my compliments on my PFs from kids! I Always wanted some when I was a kid, the wedge that made you run fasrter, jump higher. Finally got a pair and feeling like a cool old dude!
