PF Flyers remains true to the brand’s original vision by creating classic and premium sneakers, deeply rooted in authentic American Style. Canvas footwear pioneer BF Goodrich patented the Posture Foundation insole in 1933. He began adding the new technology to its action shoes. In 1937, Goodrich shoes with Posture Foundation became known simply as “P-F”. In 1958, PF Flyers became the first brand to enlist an all-star basketball player – Boston Celtics’ Bob Cousy to market a pair of sneakers.

PF Flyers has expanded from gyms and ball fields to become fashionable active footwear. A magazine ad in 1947 read: “Everything you do is more fun with PF”. PF Flyers styles ranged from high- and low-top sport shoes to oxfords and moccasins. These shoes are made “for work, relaxation and play.” PF Flyers was one of the most popular shoes in America by the 1960s. It has  struggled with industry changes in the early Seventies. PF Flyers is currently manufactured by New Balance.
