Payless Pairs With Abaete Designer

[ClassicFashion]

look at payless go! to be honest, they do have one or two nice shoes every now and then...

i passed by a payless store and they have some of the shoes in the window.

they also have a buy one get one 50% off deal going on. if you need ten dollar shoes i guess its OK.

the ballet shoes looked horrendous. so did the boots.

 

[Couture_Tribe]

I agree with the fact that the flats were horrendous, but they do have one or two nice shoes once in a while.

^ hey, i agree, that's exactly how i think too. but seriously, there are people who can't even afford to dish out like $60 on shoes. That's unfathomable if you can barely pay your electric and grocery bills. so what happens to that person when they need a pair of shoes to go their sister's wedding, or something? they go to payless, and they're happy they find a shoe with an ounce of style for $20.

Exactly... I have a single mother and a little sister, and there is no way that I'll be wearing Louboutins in the next few years (unless my modeling career really kicks off). I spent, like, fifty bucks on my entire homecoming dance outfit last year- which included shoes from payless. I have no intention to ask my mom to spend money she doesn't have on cute Jimmy Choos.

Fashion is fashion and style is style... I had a friend who went to the same dance in Kate Spade shoes and a Max Azria dress and everyone commented on how good I looked over her in my cheapo getup

My local payless has a pair of pumps from this collection, but I'm waiting to see how the boots look in real life.

I know, seriously! I get plenty of my compliments on my cheap Payless shoes, certainly more than my friend who pays tons of money on EVERYTHING.

Payless shoes aren't that bad. I had a pair of sandals that wore out pretty quickly (mostly because I wore them nearly everyday for almost a year), but I also have good heels too. I think that some of the new Abaete shoes are cute, esp. the boots, but some of their other, non-designer shoes are much better.

the flat is pretty appealing actually...i mean a flat cant be that uncomfortable right...

Actually, I have a pair of ballet flats that are the most uncomfortable pair I own. I can only wear it if my heal goes over the end like a slipper, because otherwise my toes and joints will cut and blister. Usually used when I have to make quickie errands or do laundry. My mom wanted a "matching pair of flats, 'cause, oh my god we're so cute!"

So true! I had a pair of purple flats from Payless, and they've actually left scars on the back of my ankles after wearing them maybe twice. I have another that were OK, but I only wore them when I had no other options.

I work @ the mall and when I passed the Payless, the shoes below were in the window & it seems like I've seen them before...or some that were very similiar. I just couldn't quite put my finger on it, does anyone know what their knocking off? I actually thought they were pretty cute to, esp at only $17.99!

The mary janes look kind of like a knock off of the Manolo's.

Payless has stepped up it's game a lot lately, but a lot of the pics of shoes on this thread are kinda ugly.

^hmm, I think I'll go try them on & see if they look okay. I have a gift card from work to Payless, I've had it forever and have yet to use it since I don't really shop there but if anyone wants to give me something for free then I'm over it.

I usually get my shoes from DSW but from time to time if you can't afford it but you need shoes on a budget, I say Payless is ok. I agree about the lack of comfort, so I always try to get my shoes wide width and I'm a 5 and a half-6. I have maybe 3 pairs from there and of all my shoes I get complimented the most on my purple/pink pumps I bought from them almost 2 years ago, which are so comfy and stylish at the same time. I'm loving some of their boots though. And a New York Newspaper rated the top 10 boots of the season and ones of theirs came in 3rd.

It looks like Prada s/s 06 to me

Those black patent and blue satin look great. Wish the heel was taller than 3" though.

 

[lucy92]

what does everyone think of these new abaete for payless items? these seem like an improvement over the first go-round of shoes, but i probably wouldnt buy them.

^ I bought the pair of pumps in the middle, only they are black not teal. They look 100x "richer" than they are - I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them. The snakeskin could pass as real, and the satin-y parts are nicely done. The gold trim is excellent, and the "suede" of the shoe is passable. It's a great, relatively comfortable, and elegant shoe. I'm contemplating getting the ankle book but I have to see how it looks in person. Trust me - I normally hate Payless but these pumps are fab!

 

[ChrissyM]

my favorite of those three is definitely the green pump in the middle... looks like something I would wear..

the ankle boot is also quite cute...

don't know if i would actually purchase any of them...
maybe the pumps because they look like fun but my closet is already overflowing with shoes and i really don't need any more...

That is very mature and realistic of you. It's nice to hear that.

some of those are actually not bad looking
