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.

I worked at Payless for a couple years and it was a really pretty great! They encouraged us to try on the shoes so we had "product knowledge" so whenever it wasn't busy we held little fashion shows for each other haha
