but they are so cute... must stay away from this store... the pull of those wedges and oxfords is just too strong to resist...

My payless zipper booties held up all last winter and are still in my closet!

It's not that they don't hold up... they just aren't as comfortable as real leather shoes.

Rita, if that is truly your new policy, then you should divorce yourself from their mailing list. It only tempts. But then again, rules (especially self-imposed ones) are fun to break.

I also do recommend Ebay for brands in which you know your size. Plenty of new, boxed, real leather shoes over there.

Heather, those mailers are evil temptresses aren't they?! I'm off the list!

Rae, my feet are wide, I have a tough time buying shoes, I'd be afraid of ordering with no return policy

bj111, thanks for sharing the yoox link, I love your white leather jacket. did you get it? Also those jilsander oxfords are the bomb... I'm sure they won't fit my fat little feet

My booties are my only pair of Payless shoes and they are super-comfy. But I've never tried the shoes. I say stick with comfort at all costs!

I think you are wise to skip the cheap shoes. They always turn my head too, but I think even $30 is too much to spend on shoes that hurt your feet. I still find myself trying them on though, thinking, "Maybe these will be different..." expecially after seeing a friend sporting a pair. I just bought and returned a pair from payless last month. The few pair I do have from Payless don't get worn often or for a long period of standing.

I think it really does depend on the shoe; I have a pair of wool heels from Payless that I can shop all day in (3"!) but also a pair of white slingback sandals that I can only wear as sitting shoes (same heel height). I do agree that real leather is generally more comfy though, and you should do what makes your feet happy! Good for you for going off their mailer
