One of the most comfortable tennis shoes ever
Date:June 14, 2013
I just bought these today. When I tried them on in the store I was shocked as to how good these shoes felt for only 29.99. I got them for 25 with 20% off. These so so comfortable! More comfortable than the two expensive pairs of Nike's that I own. I love these and would absolutely recommend these. It doesn't hurt that they are pink and adorable on either!

Very good value shoes, why no white color
Date:June 9, 2013
Pros: very comfortable, very good value
Cons: no white color
These are very comfortable shoes either on walking or running. Suggest to have white color so I can wear to work everyday and will never complain sore legs because wearing other kind and brand of shoes after work.

Fashionale Color & Comfortable but they run large
Date:May 27, 2013
Pros: fashionable color
Cons: run big, make your foot look really long
I wear a size 9 in regular shoes but had to go down to a size 8 in these shoes--they run large. Even though I bought a size 8, they still make my feet look long and they look like a size 10 on (not the look I'm after). But because the color is in and they fairly inexpensive, I kept them to run around in. They are comfortable.

Would not buy!!
Date:May 23, 2013
Pros: looks
Cons: make, value, quality
I thought these shoes were just like the black which I had previously bought that I LOVED!! They were no where near like the black ones the material was really thin and the inside rubbed my foot. I reached into the shoe to see if there was anything and there wasn't but it was made cheaply and started to rib when I barely touched it. Awful shoe!!

Best Running Shoe
Date:May 9, 2013
Pros: affordable, super comfortable, surprisingly stylish
I have spent hundreds of dollars and hours at running specialty stores being "fitted" for the best shoe for my flat feet. All the shoes left me with shin splints and what felt like broken feet. My husband and I were in Arkansas for business and I left my shoes at home. I found a Payless and found the first "running" shoe for around $20 and left. I used them that afternoon at the gym and expected to have shin splints by the end of the night.....that never happened! I have only used these shoes since that day (February 2013) and am getting ready to buy another pair and my husband is going to trade in his expensive running shoes for some Champions! GET THESE SHOES!!!!

PLEASE BRING BACK Women's Octo Performance Runner
Date:May 5, 2013
These are fantastically comfortable shoes -- and I rarely find shoes that work so well for me. I bought a 2nd pair a week after I bought the first. Now I wish I'd bought more. I wear these to work, and pink or turquoise would not be appropriate. Please, please, please bring back the BLACK version with black soles!!!!

Great sneaker, runs big
Date:April 26, 2013
I am surprised people are not mentioning how big this sneajer runs. I wear a true size 6.5 in all of my shoes and sneakers from various designers and this 6.5 was huge on me, I tried a 6 which was much better and then tried 5.5 and it was even better than the 6. So, I say that they run at least 1/2 a size too big or for me the whole size too big, as I wanted a snug fit around my foot. Other than that, the show is great, it is very light and bendy and the pink color looks great.

NewJogger
Couldn't Be Happier!
Date:April 19, 2013
Pros: lightweight, breathable, comfortable
I needed new shoes for a jogging class I'm taking. My [very] old tennis shoes broke in the heel, so they weren't comfortable. Plus they were really heavy and my feet always got incredibly hot when I would work out. I wanted shoes that let my feet breathe and looked nice. I was worried about buying shoes online because even in person it's hard for me to find running shoes that fit right. That being said, I bought these in blue and they fit PERFECTLY. They're so lightweight, and I can actually feel wind through them thanks to the breathable fabric. I've been jogging for a few weeks now with no blisters or discomfort, and I can't even explain what a huge difference good shoes has made for my workouts.

Perfect Budget Running Shoe
Date:April 17, 2013
Pros: price, light-weight, comfortable
I wanted to get a pair of running shoes that wouldn't break the bank but still would protect my feet. These shoes are perfect! The memory foam soles are so comfortable and cushion your feet - no matter what point of your foot hits the ground first while running. I was surprised that the top part was basically a thick mesh, but realized after running that my feet weren't super sweaty. Plus they are so light you barely remember that you have them on. The turquoise is a gorgeous color.

Love the shoe but ...
Date:April 5, 2013
Pros: lighweight, comfortable
So I previously purchased the all black pair in an 8.5 and absolutely love them! When I was in the store a day or so ago shopping for my son I ran across the turquoise pair. They had an 8.5 which I almost purchased without trying on but I am glad I didn't. For some reason the turquoise run bigger than the first black pair I own. I had to buy the 8 which is fine because who doesn't want a smaller foot? When I got home I verified the size on the black pair, sure enough 8.5. I measured the two and they are exactly the same size.
I wish the shoes were on sale themselves but I was able to utilize the BOGO and get my sons shoes half off.

Little Pricey
Date:April 3, 2013
Pros: lightwieght, comfy, good color, sturdy
Cons: squeak
I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!!!!!!! I wear them for hours and they don't make my ankles feel heavy, like heavier shoes do. The only thing is that I didn't buy these on sale and I was surprised to find out that they were $30.00 ($29.99) ... but I bought them anyway. The only thing that I don't like about them is that they squeak on tile floors. But other than that I love them!

surprising purchase!
Date:March 16, 2013
I bought these today in black with black soles. They are so lightweight and comfortable! So comfortable that I went back and bought another pair! And they were on clearance so I saved quite a bit of money!
Thanks to Lierin for all of the help in finding the right shoe for me!

Pros: lightweight
I brought the black pair with black soles and I wear them just about everyday. Because of the suctions cup feature when I walk on the tile floors it makes a suction cup sound but that doesn't bother me. No skid and slipping! I wish they had the black shoe again because I would buy another pair of them. They are so light on my feet and evern after exercising for 1 hour my ankles do not feel heavy like in most running shoes.

WALKING ON AIR!
Date:March 14, 2013
Pros: comfort, great style, great price
Most comfortable and light weight shoes ever! I have the turquoise pair and am ordering a pair in pink. I belong to a walking group and find with these shoes I walk with a much more fluid motion and don't have the pain in my ankles & feet that I had when I would walk in other athletic shoes. And besides that, I get compliments every time I wear these shoes, everywhere I go! Its a win win ladies! The turquoise color is eye popping amazing and I can't wait to get the pink ones now!

Comfiest Shoes!!
Date:February 14, 2013
Pros: super cute!, affordable, comfortable, flexible, light, true to size
I recently had foot surgery done (bunion removal) and was told I needed to start wearing shoes for daily wear and physical therapy. I'm normally a size 10, however due to the swelling on my operated foot, none of my shoes fit! My toes still can't bend properly and so regular, stiff sneakers were an absolute PAIN to try on. After looking left and right for shoes that were flexible, light, comfortable, wide enough, and affordable, I was close to tears because I couldn't find any that fit this description! Alas, I ended up at Payless where I found these AMAZING shoes! I almost didn't even try these on because they're not "wide", however after trying them on, I realized how flexible they truly are. My poor swollen foot fits perfectly in these shoes (although I had to size up to an 11 for extra room. My non-operated foot would easily fit in the size 10, so they do run true to size!), my toes fit in pain-free because they're not stiff, when I walk it's like I'm not even wearing shoes because of how light they are, and they come in hot pink! Bonus points for that :) Not a day goes by that I don't get a compliment from the physical therapy staff and patients I see :D Seriously lol. I ended up buying both the hot pink and turquoise colors out of fear i wouldn't find comfy shoes like this in the future while still recuperating. These shoes are a true Godsend for someone recovering from surgery, and whether you're considering buying them for this purpose, or simply for daily wear, I say buy them! Payless hit a home-run with these :D

SO COMFY!
Date:December 5, 2012
I bought these shoes in the store, the only color available was black on black. I am excited to see other colors online, I may just buy myself another pair! I am not usually a fan of sneakers from Payless since they are not usually as comfortable or long lasting as the name brands. I really want to let everyone know that these are the best sneakers I have ever bought at Payless and definitely worth the $20 I paid for them! I have been wearing them to work every day this week and my feet don't hurt at the end of the day!
