About 25 years ago payless drastically reduced the selection of shoes for men and boy’s.
Our family had shopped there almost exclusively since my wife and I got married, but we weren’t going to continue since we would now often need to find another store to get shoes for my son and I.
Women buy more shoes, it’s true.
They decided to cater to that market to the point that they might as well have discontinued shoes for men and boys altogether.
Nd their clerks became insulting in the manner in which they would try to convince men to buy one of two or four similar shoes which were often all they had in one’s size.
Screw them.
Yup. They lost their service edge. We quit them over the same issue. I used to haul four females and myself to Payless to buy shoes. When they cut their selection for males we stopped going there on a family outing basis. Saved me a ton of money!
