Payless Shoesource

I wanted to buy shoes, chosen one for 34.99. At the checkout the amount of 38.99 suddenly appeared.
The price tag was inside the shoe. I looked inside and there was price 38.99 pasted on top of the old price.
I do not know whose was that crazy idea (to paste new price at the checkout) — owner’s, manager’s or staff, but they were trying to trick me.

The staff here are the bestest. I’m here all the time and they have the greatest selections but I am also bringing in my lot numbers for my online order. This is the best Payless store I’ve ever been to. 10 stars.

I went to Payless on Piikoi last night and my kids picked out some shoes. The sales clerk was really friendly and helpful. My daughter wanted these pair of boots so she tried on the same pair in two different sizes. I ended up buying a pair of these boots for her. Today she wears them to school and she had on two right sides. When I bought them last night the sales clerk failed to check to make sure there was a left and a right of the same size. Ended up taking them back today to see if I could get the correct left side. The sales clerks there were so very accommodating and pleasant! Had no problems whatsoever!

I love this payless !
I’ve been here many times before, But now that I’m a «True Unilocaler» according to Unilocal, (i dont mean to toot my own horn but, toot toot ;P) I’m finally getting used to writing reviews to everywhere i check in ! (:
For some reason, This payless is big foot friendly (: Standing 5’11 I have long, skinny feet, and I’ve been to pearlridge, windward mall, kam shopping center, waikele, and they have big sizes but not the type of sandals/​shoes i’m looking for!
So yesterday, after work I went to Ala Moana payless to get new work sandals as well as walking shoes and they had EXACTLY what I needed!
The cashier was super friendly and made sure I had everything I needed.
Keep it up PSS!

Wonderful customer service. Employees are so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Shoe selection is honestly not bad. You can order shoes from the website in the store and get $ 3 off, which is so convenient. You obviously aren’t going to be getting super long lasting, high quality shoes but they are comfy and stylish, and the prices are seriously unbeatable.

I bought work shoes here prior which is when I signed up for their rewards program. This second time I came in for more work shoes I was looking for white ones, however I couldn’t find them. Apparently, there had been a mass purchase of white restaurant work shoes. I was so pleased at the employees’ willingness to help me out to order me white shoes when none were in stock, and when that failed, calling another store to find out that they indeed carried them. And I was able to have them held for me. Plus a mega discount thanks to the reward program made me a happy customer. Also love their 90-​day return/​exchange policy! What’s not to love?

Always buy my work shoes here! I need the slip resistant shoes. It’s cheap and still lasts me over 6 months. I usually pay around $ 30. I buy my regular running/​walking shoes here also. The buy one get the next one half off works for me.

The price is good, but the selection is not good for me.

BOGO: Buy one, get one. And it gets me every single time…
When you walk into Payless Shoes you’ve already got to assume that somehow you’re trading in quality for a lower price point. The sooner you accept this, the better you’re going to feel. Be Zen. Accept that you’re willing to cheapen your existence to save a buck or two. It’s okay, I do not judge you. I too am willing to cheapen my existence. All is right in the buying Universe. (Sits in Buddha pose.) Ommmmm…
Now that we’ve accepted our infinite wisdom of thriftiness (which is much better than saying you’re cheap) we can move on and enjoy the Payless «experience.» I rarely come into Payless to shop for myself (although I will admit that I have found some great sandals here on occasion) but I do pop in for kids shoes. My two children, ages five and seven, have feet which either grow too quickly or somehow they lose one side. So eh, if you see a random shoe on the side of the road, that’s probably my kid’s shoe. My kids are at that age where they aren’t in need of a designer brand so I am going to take full advantage of that consumer ignorance for as long as humanly possible.
My son was able to find a great pair of Transformer athletic shoes (velcro for kids is awesome by the way) and a pair of slip on skater shoes. Oh yes, he will be popular with the ladies let me tell you. My daughter changed her mind a total of fifteen times (yes, I counted) and finally decided on a pair of princess sparkly sandals and I chose for her a pair of athletic shoes. She said «I don’t need those kinds of shoes.» I replied «Sorry, they don’t let you wear glittery sandals for PE honey.» She shook her head in disbelief. Poor thing, I blame myself for letting her watch way too many Barbie movies.
The salesgirl, who was working by herself at the time, was very helpful and told me about the BOGO deal as well as a 2 for $ 10 special on socks. I appreciated the fact that I got service at Payless and bought extra shoes and socks. That is the one really great thing about having very low expectations about a business. When you get even a little more than you expected, you’re unbelievable happy! Three cheers for cheap shoes, decent service and BOGO!!! I will BOGO my brains out!
Unilocal 365 Challenge: Review #4/​365 (The BOGO)

Overall I would rate this store one star because although they have cheap shoes, you basically get what you pay for. I don’t shop here often, but I have to say that EVERY SINGLE TIME I have purchased a pair of shoes from them, I end up donating them after one or two uses. I don’t know if it’s me, but I can never find a decent pair of shoes from them that don’t hurt like crazy.
So until I do, I will keep my rating for them at one star max.
