Payless ShoeSource announced that to accommodate for women with varying feet and shoe sizes, they extended their shoe line to have summer footwear available in sizes 11, 12, and 13, as well as those with wide widths, for prices as low as $15 a pair.

The larger sizes and wider shoes will be available for more than 150 and 50 styles and brands, respectively, at Payless stores across the country, said Payless ShoeSource, Inc., in a press release issued on Wednesday.

"Today, a growing percentage of women wear shoes beyond size 10 and Payless is here to serve this increasing need," LuAnn Via, President and CEO of Payless, stated for the press release.   "We've been recognized for years as a retailer that carries hard-to-find sizes, and today we continue to serve this growing group of shoppers with an expanded assortment for the summer season featuring a range of wedges, flats, sandals and pumps."

Those among the shoes available in larger sizes will be the Kutzie peep-toe pumps in nude color, and the Felix brand flat shoes in cognac, said the press release. The Christian Siriano for Payless label will offer their La Bonita sandals in turquoise and nude colors, while the Lunar, Kemot, and Jupiter brands will have 11, 12, and 13 sizes of their trend-right platform soles available for the public, noted the press release. Those sets, as well as the Jean mid-heel pump and the Kaytee wedge in mustard yellow will be up for grabs at select Payless stores in the United States and on their website.

"At Payless, we believe women with hard-to-find shoe sizes shouldn't have to skimp on style, affordability or be inconvenienced when shopping for shoes," Via continued for the press release.  "Our extended size footwear for women is available in stores across the nation and includes wardrobe essentials and popular silhouettes featuring the latest details and colors. Shoppers can count on us to deliver on this line season after season."
