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!

  • Advent can be such a beautiful season, but it’s easy for the busyness of Christmas to take over. 🤍

This year, I’m being more intentional about slowing down, focusing on Jesus, and creating meaningful moments with my family and The Daily Grace Co.’s new Advent Collection is such a beautiful way to do that. ✨

The 2026 Advent Collection is officially here!

  • Getting a head start on fall at our family’s property 🍂🌳 There’s always something that needs to be cleaned up, and having the right tools makes those projects feel so much more manageable.

This DEWALT 20V MAX 12 in. Brushless Cordless Chainsaw Kit from @homedepot made clearing out branches and deadwood so much easier. It’s lightweight, easy to maneuver, and I love not having to deal with gas, fumes, or a cold start.

If you’re tackling your own fall projects, head to The Home Depot - the right tools make all the difference. 

PRO TIP: Use The Home Depot App’s Product Locator while you’re in store to make finding things so much easier (I’m talking aisle and bay numbers - so simple).
