Payless Shoesource

Not the best quality shoes but they are good about returns, esp when the shoes cause pain & just too cheap for regular wear

For years I avoided shopping at Payless because I always thought their off-​brand shoes were inferior to the more expensive ones I buy. Well, they still are, I guess, but the gap is narrowing. They have a few different brands now that I enjoy wearing, if I can find a decent style. I like Sketchers the best, but some of the shoes at Payless are a close approximation for a much lower price. I find these aren’t quite as comfortable, not quite as stylish, and not quite as sturdy, but still good in their own right. This particular location seems to have a consistently better selection than I’m used to seeing at, for example, the mall branches or the location at Montgomery and San Mateo. Still, this isn’t my favorite place for shoes, but when they’re rocking the BOGO, I like to stop in.
