All our sneakers are listed in standard US sizing. To convert from men’s to women’s sizes, add 1.5 sizes to the men’s size (for example, a men’s 7 is equivalent to a women’s 8.5).
Customers often prefer sizing up for a more comfortable fit in our Center and All-American franchises. Try a ½ size above your normal sneaker size.
This all-black version of The Grounder High-Top carries forward one of P.F. Flyers’ most iconic utilitarian silhouettes through a refined monochromatic lens. Originally developed in the 1940s for the U.S. Army, The Grounder helped redefine what a canvas sneaker could be: durable, dependable, and built for movement. This modern interpretation preserves that legacy while introducing a cleaner, more understated aesthetic suited for everyday wear.
The design emphasizes the sneaker’s rugged construction and timeless proportions. A heavyweight 12 oz canvas upper delivers structure and durability while maintaining breathable comfort throughout the day. Tonal stitching, blacked-out hardware, and a premium embossed ankle badge create a cohesive look inspired by vintage military equipment and classic American workwear.
Built for everyday routines and long-term wear, The Grounder High-Top balances retro-military influence with modern simplicity. The result is a grounded, confident essential designed to move effortlessly through changing environments and personal style.

I have always loved canvas high tops. These have me permanently switched from Chuck Taylor’s. The sizing is perfect, the break in period is easier, and they are comfortable
I will start this by saying that I really wanted to like these shoes. They were not quite what I expected coming from my Converse Chuck Taylor Allstars. Still, gave them a chance and wore them for a day. They caused a fair bit of knee pain and I almost threw them out. I gave them one last chance by taking the foot beds out of my old Chuck Taylors and it made all of the difference in the world.
Sadly, Endoto Chuck Taylor foot bed replacements are not available in larger sizes. The one from my old Converse shoes have almost worn out.
If these foot beds came with your shoes or were offered on your site in the larger sizes, I would be a customer for life and this product would get 5 stars.
This grounder fits the bill for the spot in my lineup of PF Flyers.
I am a Baptist. Our church goes soul winning to preach the Gospel door to door. It is a lot of walking. Although dressed nicely, dress shoes do not work well for me. I do not want my feet and legs to limit me from going out for this great work. The black out does not distract from what I am wearing. These PF Flyers provide what is needed for all the walking and many stairs to reach doors to knock

The shoe was way too narrow at the toes and were hurting my pinky toe to the point that they became too painful to wear. I had to donate them. It was a pity because I really liked the styling and sole type. I wish you made them wider at the toe box as an option.
Nice shoe. Same great fit as the olive. The laces look and feel different but they appear to be of high quality. The all black looks really good. The toe box is natural and not tight as on my black Chuck Taylors. The Grounder isn't cheap, but it's a very good investment and is made of very high quality materials. They are well worth the money.
