The Perfect Payless Athletic Shoe for Casual Office Wear


Cheap Shoe Review:  Men's American Eagle Athletic Shoe from Payless
A great shoe for casual Friday

Friday is business casual day.  If you don't want to wear your smelly dog walking shoes to work, you might check out some inexpensive athletic shoes from Payless.  You could wear $300 Bling Jordans, but if you ever want a raise a low key shoe is the way to go.  Last year, I found some American Eagle by Payless Shoes that are perfectly appropriate to wear to the office with jeans on casual day.  The Men's American Eagle athletic shoes from Payless are a basic running style shoe in a subdued color scheme.  The shoes have a mostly synthetic black upper portion with a small bit of brown leather to reinforce the heel area.

American Eagle athletic shoes are excellent for casual days at the office.  I'm not a proponent of using Payless Shoes for bona fide athletic activities.  They could use more arch support and more cushioning in crucial places.   It's easy to set a $15 to $20 pair of shoes aside in the closet and save them for use on casual Fridays.  Since they are used for no other purpose, they remain pristine and ready to go.  Your co-workers won't notice the Payless Shoes and would probably thank you for wearing them if they knew how bad your ratty dog-walking shoes smelled.  By reserving the shoes just for work, you'll also be confident that your shoes won't be leaving mysterious stains on the carpet at the office.

It should be noted that these shoes are not affiliated with American Eagle Outfitters in any way.  In fact, American Eagle Outfitters won an injunction against Payless and made them put disclaimers up about their American Eagle brand shoes.  Maybe these shoes really are sneaky sneakers!  However, any basic black shoe will do for casual Friday. . .
