shoe review: payless nautical stripe platforms


So I got the shoes last night and I have to say, I am really impressed with the quality! There is even a suede padding where your little toesies lay. The wedge heel is super shiny and perfect, as are the stripes and the canvas material of the upper portion of the shoe! The one downfall would be that they are TALL!  You really need to know how to work a platform to feel steady in these shoes. I would try a practice run around the house before heading out to more treacherous land... like stairs. 
As far as the price point goes, when I tried them on, Mr. Matty said "woah those shoes are great...they are from Payless?" I said, "Yeah but they are 50 dollars" and he replied, "they look more expensive than 50 dollars".  With that man's stamp of approval I promptly found a new place for them to live in my closet. Hope this helps for those of you on the fence.

are they comfy? do they give you blisters around your toes? I may have to break down and get them...

Wow...I haven't been to Payless in years. Looks like it's time for a trip, geez!

Prudence- I usually don't find platforms that comfy so I don't think I would put them in that category, but I don't see them giving blisters either. I would say a perfect shoe for a few hours, but not all day working retail etc.
