Off the Rack: Payless June Offerings, Plus The Good Shoe Project




It's BOGO time once again at Payless, so I stopped by one of the stores in my area to see if I could find anything worth getting. Selection varies greatly from store to store, but I did see some cute sandals, including red and white polka-dot espadrilles, some basic white peep-toe wedges and some simple yet chic metallic strappy flat sandals, which look incredibly comfortable and perfect for pairing with shorts or summer dresses.

I also noticed Payless has launched something called The Good Shoe Project: When you buy a pair of Payless "Hope" shoes (a simple canvas slip-on, $19.99), Payless will donate a pair of shoes to a child in need. Of course Payless is piggybacking off of TOMS shoes but it seems like Payless might be able to reach a different demographic with their campaign, and it's all for a good cause after all. The fact that the Payless slip-ons look like TOMS doesn't bother me as the TOMS design is based on age-old footwear styles worn by countless cultures around the globe, so it's nothing original.
