Payless Pairs With Abaete Designer

[seanutbutter]

The Abaete shoe collection is up now on Payless.com, although the website is currently down for an unknown reason.

Anyway, I glanced at the collection and have to say, the shoes look nothing like the runway heels. They're a completely different style, unfortunately.

i like the runway shoes! I'd wear the white boots and the clear cone heels.

Here are the Payless shoes. I was mistaken in my early post, however--these are the Spring 2007 shoes, not the Fall shoes. That explains why they don't look anything like the F/W 2007 collection. Regardless, I'll post them anyway.

i think the spring shoes are for the lost part ugly.
the cage flats are OK. but the shoes look highly inflexible and uncomfortable.

I saw most of these in person and thought they were much worse than the regular shoes carried at Payless.

i want both the "linda" and the "cabri" boots. i think the patent leather bags will also be part of the collection.

 

[seanutbutter]

When are those shoes expected to be released, if you know?

I like the boots as well.

lucy do you know if those exact shoes will be produced or are cheaper versions "inspired" by those going to be sold?

this payless website says that "styles inspired by the runway collection will be available fall 2007".
i'm not sure how easily these replicated on a cheap scale. i havent seen cheap shoes made out of lucite before...

they may charge a lot for the boots though. there was a wallstreet journal story on payless in march talking about how payless was more willing to charge say, for example 40-60$ for patent leather boots.

^ Thanks for the information! I'm hoping the boots will look like the runway version. I'd shell out $40-60 if I had to (depending on the style, I guess).

 

[ChrissyM]

thanks for the link lucy...

definitely interested to see how these and the lela rose shoes translate from runway to payless..

I just got this in my email:

That pink heel looks really nice.

 

[lucy92]

i can't see your image seanuttbutter.

this stuff is much better than the star jones for payless shoes.

 

[seanutbutter]

That's strange; I could see it.

Anyway, the new collection is available on payless.com today.

[lucy92]

man, i sure would feel funny spending 70$ on something at payless.
maybe i will attempt to the flavin platform. but knowing me ill break my ankle my first night wearing the shoe

 

[seanutbutter]

I know, a pair of $70 Payless shoes does not sound right, period. That's got to be a record for them!

 

[cric-croc]

is anyone going to purchase the Capri boots? i wonder how soft they are...
