Spot on. I don't think this is what it seems like at first glance.

Payless shoes are trash compared to DSW. I would think Shoe Carnival is more on the Payless level. Yes they are both far less than what you can expect at other stores but Payless shoes were gutter quality. It’s like they rounded up the leftover clearance shoes from all the stores.

A while back, Payless did an "experiment" and sold their shoes to unsuspecting buyers for up to $600. That only means shoes are shoes, no matter how much you pay for them.. lol

Payless came in handy if I was traveling and had a shoe emergency. Yes I have packed mitch-match shoes or only one dress shoe on more than one occasion.I’m low-key devastated.

Ditto. I have all kinds of “Wear-them-twice if they don’t get wet” shoes from Payless that I bought when my good shoes hurt too much to go on living. Payless got me out of many a jam. I’m sad.

This is what I thinking. It would be a great b
hustle plus they can get away from retail spaces.
I too have went to payless for a shoe emergency years ago.

I don't know if they are going to be able to get away with $600 shoes because the insoles of Payless shoes were good for sticking to feet whether there was socks on or not.

Oh no! I love Payless for shoe emergencies. Believe it or not some of their shoes are cute and comfortable. I still have some Payless shoes that are going strong. Payless has been around since I was a little girl.

I bought some boots and they were lined on the inside and so comfy.. I paid $31 and they lasted for 7 years.I’m low-key devastated.

I’ve never been able to wear Payless shoes. I wear a size 11 and they’re all huge. My feet are long and narrow. Not everyone that wears large sizes wears shoes the size of boats.

Something about the material of Payless shoes always made my feet sweat. I used to give them a try every few years and would always stop after having this experience.

My friend told me she buys all her kids shoes at Payless. I don’t understand because by my memory they fall apart with regular wear. I can’t imagine how long they’d last with kid abuse.

If her kids are growing fast she might not really notice. You expect kids to grow out of stuff and run down shoes so she probably doesn't relate the shoes falling apart to poor quality.

Yes! I ran off and left my shoe bag once. I had to get on my flight so DH just bought me some new/temporary ones from Payless and some other store.

I can't wear Payless shoes now. At least not their heels. They make my feet hurt. I bought three pair about 3 months ago. One pair is okay, but I can't wear them all day. The other two I'll have to give away. I thought maybe I needed to break them in, but nope. I bought the correct sizes too. I'll stick with DSW and Macy's.
