Wedding, prom, benefit—you name it, Payless has the inexpensive, chunky-heeled shoe to fit the occasion. Sandals, pumps, and slingbacks are available in classic white.

These shops’ signature Italian-made walking shoes are light and durable and come in lots of colors. Can’t resist them? Some styles come in adult sizes for Mom, too.

In an ideal world, you’d buy Prada, but for now, snap up cheap-beyond-belief footwear for a trendy fix, instant blister relief, or throwaway dyeables. The no-frills shops are literally stacked to the rafters with everything from canvas tennies to conservative black pumps.
