Shoe Prices Go Up as Shoe Styles Go Down

Published by robinmarie at 12:34 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

It’s ironic that with the economy taking a turn for the worse, gas prices and prices for everything else are going up. Shoes are no exception. Even Payless has already raised their shoe prices, and other shoe stores are expecting to increase their prices by 5 to 12 percent. Not the end of the world, maybe, but it’s still a significant increase, and that will only grow.

It’s too bad, too, because most of the shoes this season aren’t even all that cute. Many are a cheap throwback to the 80’s, and the rest are just painful. Funny that now the prices are rising, no? If you don’t believe me, check out the pictures of these Payless shoes, all between $15 and $23.  By the way, if you buy them online (www.payless.com), sometimes they’re less expensive.

Here’s the thing: I love flats. They’re cute and comfortable. The kitten heel though removes the “flat” from the flat.

I really hate these. They clomp and they don’t actually seem to match. I thought the point of a heel was elegance…?
