Payless Shoesource

Payless Shoesource in the Sherwood Mall in Stockton, California.
I’m not going to lie to kick it and act like I never bought shoes from here before. Yer Boi VD ain’t fake like that, I keep it real ²⁴⁄₇.
I’ve been coming here since I’ve moved to Stockton back in the day. Back then we had it rough growing up in the hood in South Side of Stockton. Shoot I was lucky to get one pair of Pro-​Wings for the year.
But that was then and this is now, I’ll still come here and grab some shoes for my three kids and I, if we see a pair we like. I look for the deals like BOGO aka Buy one get one. My girls don’t mind what type of shoes they rock but my Son on the other hand his very picky, that’s cool though. He can do that since he’s my only boy.
Payless Shoesource has sure came a long way from the 90’s. There’s a super big selction on all types of shoes. I’d say my favorite will always be the kids shoes, because I can still see my son running through Oak Park with his Power Ranger shoes that we got here. Or see my eldest walking around the house with her Pikachu slippers on that we also bought here and my baby rocking her Dora the explorer shoes.
So yeah we will be back soon my baby girl wants another pair of boots.
I have nothing but good things to say about this place. We always have a great time no matter where we go.

I love Payless. I bought two pairs of flats from another Payless Store. But I found the same pair in different colors here at this store. This payless is in the mall. I also love their BOGO 50% deals. Really just perfect.

The staff were a little overbearing. We were looking at scarfs which were located near the door and one of the staff members was telling us to come in further, so I told him we were looking at scarfs, and then he tried to tell us that there were more further down. There weren’t! It was kind of creepy. Next we did go fully into the store to look at shoes and three more employees tried to interact with us. Normally this is a good thing but at the time it was not. They were all working in the same area and as each new person came over they talked with us. We ended up leaving because it was too much.

I was on a mission to find a certain boot in a certain color. A lot of the Payless stores in the Bay Area didn’t have this shoe. So while I was in Stockton I ventured to this Payless, because «uh huh!» (finger waving, head moving side to side) I was not going to go to the one on Wilson Way!!! Close to my Grandma’s place. What am I crazy?!
I liked this location because the staff were really nice. Specifically this one guy. He had so much positive energy it was unreal. But I found the shoes I had been searching for and can’t wait to start wearing them. Oh minus one star for smaller selection.
