Black high-top sneakers with white soles on a concrete floor.

High-Top Sneakers

First laced up in 1944, P.F. Flyers' high-top sneaker changed the game. Back when canvas shoes weren’t known for support, we introduced a sneaker built to perform. What started as a breakthrough quickly became an iconic symbol of grit, soul, and American sport.

High-Tops With Heritage

At the heart of each P.F. Flyers high-top shoe is the Posture Foundation insole, a 1930’s innovation that gave canvas sneakers real support for the first time, offering cushioning, arch alignment, and all-day comfort. Finished with a rubber outsole, these high-top sneakers carry nearly a century of American style, creating a high-top as timeless as it is iconic.

Each high-top is steeped in history. Worn by Celtics legend Bob Cousy, The All-American builds on its basketball heritage with refined, retro design. The Center effortlessly blends varsity energy with casual weekend wear. The Grounder, originally built for the U.S. military, adds rugged elements and heavyweight canvas for true utility.

Across collections, you’ll find elevated high-tops crafted with premium materials like heavyweight canvas, vintage washes and weaves, vegan leather, and soft suede. Unique accents and innovative features add both nostalgia and functionality to every step. At P.F. Flyers, our high-top sneakers are made to last with details that matter, for heritage that holds up and stands out.
