Payless Shoes set to close all their stores.I won't miss them much. I bought a pair of shoes there once and they were complete crap. We used to have 2 stores here: one in the mall, one in a strip mall across from Wal-Mart, but the strip mall store closed 4-5 years ago.
I will miss them, I needed a pair of sneakers that I could wear without wearing out my expensive running shoes and I found a pair for $12.I did find their dress shoes to be utter crap that needed to be replaced every few months, but I don't wear dress shoes with any regularity any more.
Shoe shopping has always been a bit of a pain for me, I have wide size 13 or 14 feet, as well as one foot with a fallen arch and one foot with a normal arch.
One has to wonder if Foot Locker and the other non-factory-outlet-type shoe stores will go under eventually.

If you have a common shoe size, it's much easier to shop in a brick-and-mortar store for new shoes than online. Zappos is as close as it gets to hassle-free online shoe shopping with their "free overnight shipping both ways" gimmick, but shipping shoes back and forth is a hassle.
It's reasonable why they closed. That can't make a profit because you don't need to pay to get their shoes.

At another forum, people would call this sort of activity "threadmunching."

Don't pick apart my vision of complete psychotic breakdown, please. I'm trying to make a point here.
