I love this store. The cashiers are always so friendly and there’s a HUGE selection of shies to choose from. Every single year I go here to get moccasin shoes for the chilly holiday season. Plus, they usually have sales on the shoes that I love!

It is what it’s named. Shoes you pay less for. Being on a budget, this place is awesome especially when I have job interviews coming up. I have small but WIDE feet and it’s so difficult to find wide width sizes and yet I was able to find a few pairs of heels and flats here that doesn’t kill me feet. They always have a different variety of shoes to choose from and the styles always change. Service has always been great here and and the staff is always super helpful. For this particular experience, one of the sales associate was awesome. I was hoping to find a coupon on my phone for Payless but had no luck and when she found out I was seeking for a coupon, she offered to use one of the coupons behind the counter for my boyfriend and I and in the end, we saved about $ 10 which was so nice of her, knowing she didn’t have to do that. They also have a comfortable variety of nonslip shoes here for work. :)

Payless. that’s exactly what it is, a place where you can pay less, and nothing more… I used to shop here when I was a little girl. That’s a great choice on my mom’s part, as I don’t really agree with parents who spend so much money on shoes for their kids when their feet will grow within the next month. But anyway, I returned here after shopping next door at Target. My boyfriend and I were in need of some new work shoes and it’s a bit hard to find non-slip shoes unless you buy online or go to a specialty store. We thought we would check out Payless. They actually had quite a few options! And their non-slip shoes are typically bright orange, and they’re bunched together in one section(per size shoe section), so that made comparing different shoes very easy! I was able to find a pair, but unfortunately they didn’t have my size. The nice lady who was working said she could order it for me and it would come within the week, and there would be no extra charge for shipping. In fact, since I was ordering with them, I received $ 3 off! On top of that, she was able to give us the buy one get one half off deal. I got my work shoes for $ 20! Compared to the $ 40 I paid for previous pairs that weren’t non-slip! On the day of pickup, I brought in my receipt. A woman and gentleman were at the front register, and I told the woman my name, then she took the receipt and went to the back to retrieve my shoes. However, she was taking a while, long enough for me to begin to believe she definitely could not find it. Sure enough, she walked back out asking me if I received the call about my shoes coming in. Yes… I’m pretty sure I wasn’t dreaming. Then, the man who awkwardly stood at the register finally woke up and said«oh, is your name Ashley?”(yeah, what I just said about 5 minutes ago in front of both of you…) and pulled out a box behind the counter and said«it’s right here.» Then she just stared at him and nobody said anything so I took the box and started to walk away since I thought the whole transaction was over with. Then after a slight delay the lady yells WAIT and asks me to sign something to declare I picked it up. Then she finds out my information was crossed out, as if I already picked it up… then causing more confusion in her face. I just wanted my shoes so I could go to work since I was going straight there. The whole pick-up took a lot longer than I thought it should have, and everything/everyone during that visit just lacked professionalism. Overall, this place has outstanding deals, but don’t come in expecting over-the-top service.

They have good customer service, someone is always willing to help you find the type and size of shoe(s) you are looking for. They also have a large variety of sizes and styles in stock and if they don’t than they will call other payless stores for you and find out if those stores have your size in stock! There sales are pretty awesome, I’ve found some very nice flats for $ 10 before and they also have nice heels that are set at a good price. Along with shoes, they also have many types of accessories such as purses, belts, earrings, rings, sunglasses, etc.

So Payless is Payless right? Payless has super cheap CUTE shoes that I’ve NEVER had a problem with as far as quality goes! They have a huge selection — I do have to admit that the higher up in size the less likely you are to find a cute shoe — but they do have more than other stores for such a great price. The reason why I LOVE this location is because when I go to another location, and they don’t have it in my size, they always have it at THIS one. Cute shoes. Cheap prices. They even have matching bags and accessories!
