Remember when shopping at Payless was considered a federal offense punishable by hours of ridicule and a school yard a** kicking or two?

Well, times “a changing”….

Bolstered by the success of other high design/ low-price stores like Target, it is not only acceptable to shop at Payless- it’s encouraged.  Quality leather Cole Haan- like slip-ons and Kenneth Cole like Oxfords, all for less than $40 bucks, now grace the iconic orange aisles of the discount shoe retailer. Furthermore, 99.99% of the styles are available in wide width as well. Our only gripe is that Payless need to extend these stylish options to size 16.
