Steve63130 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Here's an article from the Footwear News trade magazine that says Payless is coming out of bankruptcy and may get back in business again. Time will tell! https://footwearnews.com/2020/business/retail/payless-open-back-in-business-stores-1202903821/ Steve 3
Cali Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 It was also a news story on the local news. They sell on Amazon now but plan their own website and every stores.
SF Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Good news, will be great to see them back again..... sf "Why should girls have all the fun!!"
mlroseplant Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Yes, they are coming back, but they're only offering up to size 10. 1
SF Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Well raise my rent... Really??? That's not good to hear..... sf 1 "Why should girls have all the fun!!"
RonC Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Payless and Toys ‘R’ Us had in common hefty private-equity debt loads and an abundance of stores at a time when much of retail was downsizing. Today, the two new Toys “R” Us outposts are smaller-format spaces with experiential offerings, a direction often recommended by retail experts. If they go this route with the stores, you can just about bet your bottom dollar that they would not be stocking large sizes in stores. Too bad - they used to be a great shopping spot.

For the record, I just completely made that up, for the sake of reaction. I got two bites, anyway! I haven't actually heard anything about Payless carrying large sizes or not. I can also play the Russian National Anthem on the tuba. That part is absolutely true.
SF Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 I was wondering about your comment, since I did some looking around and see that Payless is still selling shoes in larger sizes. Get me all worked up!!! ha ha.... We will see what happens..... sf "Why should girls have all the fun!!"
JeffB Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Well, that’s certainly encouraging. In my humble opinion, a revamped Payless should be online only, save on the overhead from a brick and mortar presence. Most of the shoes I bought before they shuttered were via their website. Edited January 22, 2020 by JeffB I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
RonC Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 I personally would enjoy the brick and mortar stores returning, as I much prefer to try on before I buy, and it also gives me the chance to try some styles that I wouldn't likely consider if I had to buy them.

jetheelsfan Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 I sure do miss the adventure of shopping, trying on, interaction with the sales associates with the ultimate purchase. I am afraid one may be correct but the hope is the realization that women's feet are also larger than the "large" size 9 in the 1950s. 1 Just a bit higher to to delight - low enough for healthy foot comfort and great beginning.
