Guiltless Goodies: Stylish shoes that are Bargain Buys!

Hi all!

So I'm on a shoe kick today. After posting the hottest vegan boots this fall, courtesy of O Magazine, I headed over to Payless ShoeSource for some great bargain buys (Payless is committed to not selling fur, and although it often has leather items at a higher price point, I won't include those on this site).

Although it is fall, and quickly approaching winter, I live in the Caribbean so seasons don't mean as much to me! So below are some shoes that bridge the seasons and some for hot-weather climates. Great if you're planning a warm winter getaway!

Enjoy and remember: you don't have to be cruel to be kind,

Bargain Buy: Simone Hooded Sandal, $24.99, Payless.com. This shoe has a faux leather upper and comes in brown and silver


Bargain Buy: AbaetĂ© for Payless Dauphin Pump, $34.99, Payless.com. The shoe comes in taupe (pictured below) or black, is made with soft faux suede and features a 4-inch cone heel. Talk about a power pump!


Bargain Buy: zoe&zac Dahlia BouclĂ© Ballet Flat, $24.99, Payless.com. Comes in purple or brown (both pictured below).

Added bonus for conscious shoppers? Zoe&zac is a great eco-friendly line, one of my personal favourites. Here are the green 'ingredients' they use to make their shoes:



  • Organic cotton, grown without chemicals and pesticides






  • Hemp, grown with little or no polluting pesticides






  • Jute, glossy and strong plant fibre grown with little or no pesticides and fertilisers






  • Recycled rubber






  • Glues, water-based and non-toxic






  • Nickel-free hardware, used on eyelets for laces and buckle details






  • Faux suede and faux leather, manufactured with reduced heavy metals






  • Elastic, from recycled plastic bottles






  • Tagua nuts, "vegetable ivory" from the tagua palm tree
