Payless has CFM stilleto heels.

Not the Payless store by me - I've been unable to buy a decent pait of heels in years, except through catalogs.

there is not enough $ in the world to pay me to wear stiletto heels. and my mother who was thrifty in other ways, would never permit me to buy cheap shoes. i will not wear man-made pleather.
