Buying Shoes from Payless

No, I am not being a snob, but I don't think people realize what a complete waste of money it is. You can buy yourself a nice pair of shoes, for substancially more, but they will last much longer. I have gotten an emergency pair of shoes at payless, and they were the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn, and I ended up throwing them out. I cant see a pair of payless shoes lasting a long time, or being comfy.

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

I have bought a few pairs there....they last me as long as any other pairs I have bought.

I just bought a great pair of heels that are more comfortable than my $75 pair of leather ones...and these were only $18!!

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

I have a pair of black pumps I bought at payless, and they are by far one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own! They have also lasted me as long as some of my more expensive pairs of shoes.

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

Honestly, I have bought quite a few pairs there and really, they are some of my most comfortable shoes. And have lasted a really long time - esp given that I really am not really a shoe person, so I tend to wear the same ones all the time.

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

Payless reminds me a little of Nine West. They used to be a decent value, but quality has since gone down the tubes.

I usually get my shoes at DSW.

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

It's kind of hit or miss for me...just like buying designer shoes that cost a bundle.
I've found shoes at payless that are SUPER comfy and hold up a long time.....I've also bought shoes have fallen apart very fast. Same goes for $$$ shoes.

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

I've always had great luck with Payless... and it's definitely great when you want to get a super trendy pair of shoes but don't want to shell out the cash.

DSW is great too, but even for a shoe gal like me, it's a little overwhelming.

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

i have bought 3 pairs of shoes from there

red heels- vvery uncomfortable

brown heels- very uncomfortalbe

sandals - very uncomfortalbe

therefore - i agree with you!

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

i actually bought a pair of the most comfortable flats from payless when i was pregnant with my dd, that was 4 years ago. and i STILL wear the shoes. they have held up so far.

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

For me it is hit or miss - on style more than comfort. Any pair I have bought from there have been comfortable.
And they lasted longer than some of my more expensive shoes.

Last summer I bought a pair of Franco Sartos from L&T and within days the inside came unglued and was flapping!!! They were $75 sandals.

To each their own I suppose.......

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

It is hit or miss for me but I can honestly say that all the shoes I have gotten there are so comfy! I don't mind spending $15 on a shoe that is comfy & will get much use in my wardrobe. I am not one to splurge on a shoes

Are you kidding me? I hear angels singing "Halleluia!" everytime I walk in there!

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

i've bought a number of shoes there. a pair of work shoes lasted me about 3 yrs. i wore them everyday

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

over the years I have bought many a pair of shoe from there...some were uncomfortable, but by and large most were comfy and lasted as long as some of my more expensive shoes..the problem I have now with them is I havent liked the styles thay have offered lately

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

I bought a pair of ballet flats from Payless recently and they really are so comfy! I agree with those who say it's hit or miss.

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

I have gotten shoes from there. The thing is I usually buy the latest "style" knock off from them because I dont mind spending lss then $20 on a pair of shoesthat will be out of style a year or so later. Even if its a two year fad...I have soooo many pairs of shoes I wear them very little each pair and they can last me two years. Not bad for $20 IMO.

I think if you have a lot of shoes , payless if ifne, the shoes wont fall apart etc cause your not wearing them everyday.

If your someone who only has a few pairs of shoes, its better to spend the $$ on a good pair.,

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

I have bought alot of shoes over the years from them and they have lasted and are comfy. I am not the type of girl who owns a gazillion pairs of shoes but I have classic looks from them and so far they have lasted.

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

I only have one pair of shoes from there and they are the most comfortable shoes ever!

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

Re: Buying Shoes from Payless

Completely agree. I even went in there the other day just to see what they had. And I thought to myself "they look so much better in the commercials."
