Women

If ever there was a shoe that can be considered the go-to, wear-almost-anytime, works-with-any-outfit, slip-on-and-roll type, it’s women’s flats. From jazz/ballet to Oxfords to heelless slip-ons to moccasins to Safe-T-Step shoes, Payless has a myriad of options in the utility of shoes category.

But flats are boring, right? Absolutely not. Vogue calls ballet flats this year’s hot shoe ticket. Perfect for a date out with pants or a dress, as footwear at a wedding – as a guest or part of the wedding party – flats work for any season. The Cami Point Flats come in a variety of colors and keep feet dry when it’s wet and cool when it’s a bit warmer. They’re a match for any outfit, work or play.

Straps or buckles the preferred look? Here are some great options, including the Mary Jane Flat and the Alexi T-Strap Mary Jane (both new arrivals), the Fioni Gillian Bit Flat Mule in black or white, and even the Nicole Miller Benson Clog. Cute, elegant and functional all in one.

How about a splash of color or pizzaz? Done. From the gold, airy Dexflex Krista Loafer to the rose-print Fioni Cami Point Flat to leopard-patterned Airwalk slip-in moccasin, add some zing to today’s outfit.

Sometimes it’s just as important to have function over fashion, but neither is sacrificed in these get-to-work options, including the Dexflex Dayzy Driving Moccasin, Dexflex Danika Perforated Driving Moccasin, blue or black Airwalk Dream Slip-on Flat, or Aerosoles Betunia Loafer.

Several of the flat styles come in wide widths, and don’t forget to check the clearance section for flat options at an even greater deal, and see a host of women’s flat shoes available for under $20.
