Pass on cheap shoes

I am queen of being cheap and trying to save a penny where I can. However, sometimes it bites me in the butt.

I must say, I love Payless Shoes. They have great deals and cute shoes. But I have learned the hard way (many, many times) that their shoes are for short trips like going to dinner, not wearing all day. Unfortunately, each season I forget how uncomfortable their shoes are and trying wearing a pair to work all day. My feet aren't too happy with my bad memory.

Lesson for me: I'm going to have to spend a little more money to get more comfortable shoes if I'm going to be wearing them all day. My favorite thus far: Aerosoles. For the most part, they are the most comfortable and cutest I can find for dress shoes. I've also heard good things about Clarks, but I don't think they're as cute.

Learn the lesson from me-- whatever shoes you wear all day, make an investment in them and save your feet some misery.
