Payless, like many other retailers, is hurting from a decline in foot traffic to shopping malls. Earlier in January, The Limited, another apparel brand primarily based in malls, shut down all 250 of its stores and laid off 4,000 workers.

Not only that, it is a women's shoe store, with a small cupboard for a couple of men's shoes. So it is kind of like wtf? Better off going to Kmart or Walmart, for shoes. |
Maiya It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

There was an issue with my debit card transaction and it had to be run multiple times. I was charged twice. I called them up to report the error. I got told "Too bad. Talk to your credit union." I had to go to the credit union, wait for a cube lady, get told to file a police report, return to credit union with it, wait for cube lady agin, file some forms and wait for the dispute to resolve. A half day off from work total. I said I would never return and never did. If you forget your customer, the customers forget you. They never thought she would lose. Now they all lose. |

Single product retail outlets, have to stay ahead of the curve, in order to stay in business. |

They have been jacking up their prices over the last few years, making other shoe stores a better option for family budgets. They have priced themselves out of the affordable shoe market. |
