The summer is almost over, and the beginning of a new school year is just around the corner. Time to start getting ready for school! In addition to pencils, papers, folders, and other assorted school supplies, every student from Kindergarten through high school will need new shoes.
Most kids will require one pair of shoes that they only will wear while attending their physical education class, and at least one more pair that they can comfortably wear to school every day. If your children are into fashion, they may demand more than one pair of new shoes for school. Things can get quite expensive, rather quickly!
One way to save money on shoes is to take advantage of the sale that is going on at Payless right now. Payless, for those not familiar with the store, sells shoes, socks, and sometimes purses or winter hats and gloves. All of their shoes are inexpensively priced, and they continually run sales throughout the year. Payless is the first place I go to when I am looking for new shoes, and I always find something comfortable for both my feet and my budget. They sell shoes for women, men, and children, in a variety of sizes and styles.
The current sale at Payless is for shoes for the whole family starting at $14.99. You can find many sizes and styles for under twenty dollars. The shoes that are included in this sale are easily viewed online. It appears that some of the shoes are sandals, other shoes are designed for summer, and many others are dressier, sturdier, and more school appropriate. Check out the cute and stylish shoes for girls, or view the shoes that are “recess ready” and designed for boys. You might have enough money to get a new pair of shoes for you, or your spouse, in the same shopping trip!
If you are going to take advantage of this sale, you must do it before August 9, 2010, when the sale expires. If you are certain of your size, you can order the shoes directly from the website. Children grow quickly, so it would be best to have your kids try on the shoes before you buy them, to make sure the shoes fit well. Some Payless stores will order shoes for you, if they do not have the size or style you are looking for, and have the shoes shipped directly to their store for you to pick up.
