[lucy92]

the wall street journal said today that her deal with payless has been extended to 2010!!!

meanwhile the lela rose shoes for payless should be coming out soon i guess.

from fashionista.com:

Here's another little secret, brought to you by Abaete's Laura Poretzky: if you sneak into the Payless Shoe Store on Fifth Ave. and 39th St., you can buy the spring Abaete for Payless shoes that were on Monday's runway!
The shoes are available for this week only - then they get put back in storage until their official March launch. If you're in the neighborhood, go buy a few pairs at $20 each.

Here are some pics of the shoes:

I'm fond of the following shoes:

So these shoes come out in all Payless stores in March?

 

[lucy92]

when i saw the abaete runway pictures..i was doubting whether they could all be payless...what does everyone else think? somehow it looks too good and futuristic to be payless....

i like the boots!

 

[ChrissyM]

i know what you mean lucy!
this definitely doesn't look like typical payless..

the boots are definitely the best part...
the pairs that seanutbutter posted are definitely my favorites as well...

 

[erinina]

i like the flat boots! i hope they have some good stuff at the 39th & 5th store...its on my way home.

I think the shoes are really cute. I have a pair of 4 inch heels that I got from Payless and they don't hurt my feet at all, actually I have two pairs a black and a red in the same style. As far as the quality of the shoe, I really don't see anything wrong with them, of course they are louboutin's, but I washed one pair in the washing machine by accident and they still haven't fallen apart. lol

 

[PrincessNoha]

Payless shoes are not that bad. I have bought a couple pairs of flats from there and they do hurt when you where them for the first time but you just have to work them in.

 

[Trista]

You said it; I just bought a pair of ballerina shoes from there and they hurt at first but then you get used to it.

I'm needing some new work shoes anyways and we have a Payless shoes right by where I get my soda before work, so I definitely will check it out.

The new shoes look FAB though.

i love the white boots!

 

[Bel]

Are those clear heels? Or chrome?

 

[lucy92]

bel, i think they are lucite.

the payless website says that styles "inspired by" the runway shoes will be available in the fall.

 

[ChrissyM]

^^hmmm so that probably means shorter heels and cheaper materials...

 

[seanutbutter]

That's not what I wanted to hear Somehow, I knew these shoes were too good to be true, like lucy92 discussed in an earlier post.

 

[missbliss]

^ I knew those pics looked too good to be true. The Payless ones will more than likely be extremely watered down versions of the one's on the runway; although, I'm hoping in this case I'm wrong.

 

[lucy92]

maybe the samples are the ones being sold in the 5th avenue NYC store this week.

patent leather is pretty cheap to make. hopefully the boots in the fall will be close to what we saw on the runway...

i think lucite is more expensive though...i wouldnt expect them to be similar.

I am going to go check the local store this weekend, inexpensive or not, they have some cute shoes.
