3 Tips To Find Great Classic Shoes

This post brought to you by Payless. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Simply Clarke.

Essentials, essentials, essentials. At the start of each season, I always take a mental inventory of my closet and make a list of what pieces I need to update. This year, I immediately knew I needed classic shoes. Specifically, flats. I only had one pair of leopard flats and no other colors. A shopping trip was in order to stock up my shoe selection. Here are my 3 Tips To Find Great Classic Shoes:

 
1. Head to Payless

I knew I needed multiple shoe options at an affordable price since I was going to need to buy so many. Payless offers styles that will make you look and feel great. They have a vast selection of products and I was very pleased with their selection of flats. I love the cap toe options above and the basic brown flats. I loved these three because they were simple and just what I was looking for in terms of value.

 
2. Check the Fit

Classic shoes mean nothing if they are uncomfortable. While the first priority is on trend styles at a great value, the second is comfort. Some might argue comfort should be first, but I’m on the side of trendy and a great price. But, lucky me, at Payless, you don’t have to settle in this category; every shoe I tried on was very comfortable.

 

3. Buy them in multiple colors

 

When you find something that works…. buy them in every color. That is my motto for shoes and t-shirts. I loved the black cap toe style so much that I bought them in nude as well. From there, I knew I wanted a brown option as well, and the ones above were very practical. Payless assortment of shoes may be different from what you remember, I know they have really expanded their options from what I remember.

 

Overall, I was very pleased with my purchase, they were classic, stylish and comfortable – all for a great value! But, don’t take my word for it, experience Payless for yourself this holiday season and take advantage of the most-up-to date, high-quality and affordable options. Also, check out Payless on Pinterest for great style ideas!

    I couldn’t get your brown option 🙁 the link kept breaking! They look so cute! I’ve heard of dexflex and love them.

  • Sometimes you don’t need a plane ticket to feel like you’ve actually gotten away. 🤍

We spent the weekend at @houstonianhotel, Club & Spa and somehow fit a little bit of everything into one stay… couples massage at @trellisspahtx, pool time, an incredible dinner at TRIBUTE, exploring the beautiful property, breakfast and even a 4-mile trail walk.

And the food?! The Tlacoyo and Gulf Coast Bouillabaisse from the new fall menu were hands down our favorites. 👏🏼

If you’re looking for a couples getaway in Houston, definitely put this one on your list. ✨

  • One piece of wood + a little creativity = the cutest fall DIY. 🍂🎃

I love when you can take something you already have and turn it into something completely new for your home. The DEWALT 20V MAX 12-inch Brushless Cordless Chainsaw made cutting these wood slices so much easier, and then it was just a little paint + a few simple finishing touches to bring my idea to life.

If you’re ready to tackle a fall project of your own, @homedepot has the tools and supplies to help you get started. 🤎
