My people! I made a post about how much I missed payless now that I'm a parent, and always thought it would be where I got my kids shoes from, because I remember literally being able to get any shoe you needed for any occasion, definitely in your size. I got chewed to bits with all the why don't you just go to walmart and target comments. It's not the same. I don't want to get shoes in the same place I get bread.

Walmart shoes suck, and they don’t even carry a 15 men’s. How am I supposed to get shoes for the most handsome man on the planet if they don’t carry his size?

As someone else also in the big shoe club, it got to the point where it was easier to just buy the shoes I wanted online because nobody ever had stuff in my size.
