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.
Grounder Low-Top Black/Sea SaltBlack/Sea Salt
$95.00
A blend of military grit and everyday resilience, The Grounder Low-Top Black/Sea Salt is rooted in WWII-era performance. We first developed The Grounder for soldiers in the 1940s. Today, this sneaker channels the spirit of mid-century flight with sleek, modern styling and a refined, unique colorway.
Bridging military heritage and contemporary appeal, this rugged sneaker reflects authenticity while bringing an enduring aesthetic to your daily wardrobe. A 12oz canvas shell, waxed cotton laces, and tonal stitching ensure the sneaker ages beautifully while staying structurally sound. Every detail matters: the sea salt accents echo the clean lines and contrast of early cockpit interiors, while the Posture Foundation wedge offers long-lasting comfort. These are the sneakers that launched P.F. Flyers into history, re-engineered for everyday wear for the modern explorer.

I think I'm gonna have to hide my next 2 or 3 pairs of P.F. Flyers because I've bought my thirteenth pair in the past 6 months and I'm running out of room to stack them in my bedroom! I don't think my wife can appreciate the difference in hi-tops and lo-tops in the same colors! I'm gonna see what new drops you guys have in the future, so I'll probably be hiding them in the trunk of my car pretty soon.
I love the shoes. I am confused, however by the length (or lack thereof) of the laces. See photo attached. I cannot tie the laces due to how short they are. Was this an error?
Thanks,
John
Shoes are great. I’m a 10.5 but can also do 11. I was a little worried because the 10,5 I was right up against the tubber and the shoe is a little narrow. But I’ve had them a week and they seemed to have relaxed to a really good fit.
This was my first pair of PF's, I've been a chuck guy forever... i went with the grounder lows and they are head and shoulder better quality than a chuck 70 low which is the shoe I usually go with. Yes they are heavier and stiffer, but that's the whole point :)
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with PF Flyers customer service and ordering. Ordering was a breeze and even when the shoes I bought didn’t fit me well the return/ exchange was effortless. Furthermore, I have strangely shaped feet and couldn’t find a good fit at the end if the day even wore a pair for 2 weeks and they let me return them with no hassle. The quality of construction of this shoe was actually superb and if my foot wasn’t so awkward I would fill my closet with them!
Love the look but not that comfortable to wear for long periods of time. They also seem to run kind of big but it’s impossible to tell for sure because the rubber on the toe box is too solid to feel for where the tip of your toe actually falls within the shoe. My only other complaint is that they need more neutral colors like off white or gray.
Much better build quality and than converse but the toe box is narrow and doesnt have any give on the sides it feels like it feels on day 1 so if you are feeling like your toes touch at all you should probably size up or go witha wide fit shoe.
👎Not as comfortable and not as much of an arch support as described. The $9.95 free returns is misleading. Because it cost another $19.95 to get another pair shipped.
Will not do business with you again. To many other brands out there to waste my money on.
This grounder shoe is built to last. They look great and they handle the abuse of my 13 year old grandson who is very hard on shoes. We bought an extra larger pair while on sale to eventually replace the pair he has now. They look better than Converse as well.
Very comfortable upon first wear! Substantial. Grounded. Well made. Love the insoles. I am 64 years old and I am rockin these PF Flyers all over Manhattan NYC!
Love them but, I wish you kept the Gum Color Sole & Green Logo on the Heel of the Black Canvas version, like they used to be. But all-in-all...Total Classic
