Payless ShoeSource was founded in 1956 in Topeka, Kansas, by two cousins who perfected a revolutionary idea: selling shoes in a self-service environment. Their self-service format allowed consumers to browse and try on shoes without waiting for sales help. More than four decades later, that idea continues to provide millions of shoppers a convenient, friendly experience.
