"The Ghillie shoe is an important design originating from Scotland as a smart shoe for walking the wet and muddy countryside. I love the Ghillie because it's unique and practical. My Ghillies explore the allure of high style at a comfortable price. They complement the daring urban gladiator leg or a discreet workers' pant."

Through a unique alliance among Payless, Isabel Toledo and colette, the Paris-based boutique well known for its trend-setting retail position and unique artistic product displays, the High Ghillie style is available now at colette in limited-edition, exclusive colors all featuring the faux patent upper combined with the zig-zag heeled wedge soles done in yellow (the Payless version), blue, red and winter white. A more complete Isabel Toledo for Payless collection is expected to be available at colette later in the month as well.

This is the first time Payless has launched its designer labels first at another retailer. The colette offering of the Isabel Toledo for Payless styles is featured in a unique installation in the store.

More Practical Elegance

The fall Isabel Toledo for Payless collection also includes:
The tall Poodle Belted Boot featuring a gunmetal distressed faux leather upper topped off by a full shaft of faux fur and a strap belted design with pyramid stud detailing. The boot has a platform sole with the zig-zag ripple detail and about a three-and-one-half-inch heel.

The Front-Fold Bootie is an ankle boot featuring a black nylon upper with abstract-shaped faux patent detailing and a large front-fold design with a bungee-cord strap, making it adjustable for a snug fit to a range of foot widths. The bootie has a heeled platform sole with a matte black finish and the zig-zag ripple detail.

The Sliver Bootie is also an ankle boot with a black elastic gore fabric upper featuring three cut-out sliver designs along both sides exposing inlaid pops of brightly colored striped fabric. The Sliver style also has a patent-covered snipped toe detail with a full front hidden zipper, a substantial straight three-inch heel and a platform sole with the zig-zag ripple detail.

The Toreador is a d'orsay style pump done in graphic black and red satin with a large bow detail at the toe and the zig-zag rippled platform sole.

The Pom Pom is a ballet flat that features a skimmer sole and one-half inch heel both featuring the zig-zag rippled treatment and a slightly crinkled patent upper punctuated with a Pom Pom tuft of faux fur at the toe.

The line also includes three coordinating bags: the Matadore tote, with a similar sliver design as the Sliver Bootie, the Companion satchel, a perfectly sized bag featuring patent and a large mesh overlay detail and the Silver Moon clutch with its distressed silver fabric and slight balloon bottom design.
