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.

  • #ad Backyard BBQs are my favorite excuse to slow down, eat good food, and spend time with family ☀️🍗

This setup came together SO easily thanks to @SoloCup products — sturdy cups, dependable plates, and way less stress when hosting 🙌🏻

Hosting tip: keep the menu simple, make the setup fun, and use products that can actually handle a full plate of BBQ (& make clean up a breeze!) 😂

Menu tonight:
✨ Bacon wrapped BBQ chicken skewers
✨ Potato salad
✨ Chips + pickles
✨ Rolls
✨ Pink lemonade

Now who’s bringing dessert? 👀

I put together the cutest little summer snack board! Everything was festive and styled in red, white, & blue for the summer holidays & the @oceansprayinc Fireworks Cranberry Mix from @samsclub was hands down THE FAVORITE! 💥

It has Craisins® Dried Cranberries + popping candy clusters that make every bite feel like a celebration. 🎉 Everyone kept coming back for them, kids and adults. It was gone every time I turned around. This is staying in my rotation all summer for BBQs, pool days, all the hosting moments.
