Payless Shoe Source

Every now and again, I remember the $ 15 cloth shoes I bought at Payless over a decade ago. They didn’t suck.
— They weren’t too narrow or ridiculously wide.
— They weren’t clearly made with the same machine constructing every shoe so that they are all strangely rounded and the only way to tell the left shoe from the right is to feel for the insole.
— They weren’t made from a ridiculously fake pleather material that is visibly wrinkled even with limited use within the shoe store.
— They were adult-​sized and were thus not made in a color that no rational male adult would choose in a shoe (unless they were creating a costume).
Basically, they were shoes that this Payless Shoe Source did not have in stock.
I know that decent $ 15 shoes existed once. Perhaps they will again someday. Somewhere.
