I think they're cute. I'm not one to buy a shoe for the name. If I like a shoe, I like a shoe. I'm not going to let anybody tell me that just because they're from Payless theyr'e not cute. As a college student, I'll take a bargain where ever I can get one. No, I don't spend hundreds of dollars on one pair of shoes, but I have a killer shoe collection full of adorable and fashionable shoes that I got on sale. Some of which are from Payless. They're comfortable and cheap. Expensive doesn't necessarily mean fashionable.
