Back in February we got the first look at the Christian Siriano for Payless Shoes Fall 2009 Collection from his Spring 2009 runway show and it looked amazing and very not like Payless, it was too good to be true. The actual shoes being produces were revealed today at a press preview, our friends at Racked checked out the collection today and “turns out those super-high, deadly-looking heels were produced just for the runway” only, how disappointing! The shoes no longer have spikes and chains which is what I’ve been looking forward to, the shoes are still being “tweaked” so hopefully at least one pair will be released with some crazy detailing. The booties are still kinda cute, I’d rock ‘em. Are you still anticipating the release after seeing these pics? Stay tuned for more pics and info forthcoming… One more pics after the jump…

what a letdown on the runway shoes not going to production!!! you’d think that at the very least they would have changed their minds on this one – the blog press has been INSANE and everyone’s waiting for those damn shoes!
not hating the booties… are the dark ones black or brown, and what kind of embossing is involved?
April 29th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
kinda not really, i’ll wait to see how it unfolds.
April 29th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
very upset. i was so planning on buying the spikey ones. now they are all toned down.
April 29th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
im so disappointed about no more spikes! i could live without these shoes, the spikes and chains really made a difference… but still cute nonetheless…
April 29th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
when are these even set to release?
April 29th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
oh good actually. The spikes are way too impractical for me, and not my style, but I did love the straps and platforms. cool!
April 29th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Oh no!! I am no longer anticipating for the collection.
April 29th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
i kinda like the bootie but the heel is too low for me
April 29th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
still in love with all the balmainias;DD
April 29th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Im dissapointed. Now the collection looks like payless’s ususal style. Total let down just like the Pat Field collection, Lela Rose, and Abate. What are they thinking over @ PSS? The internet went crazy over those shoes and then let all that press go to waste.
April 29th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
WEAK!!!!!!!!!! wdf, bring back the chains.
April 30th, 2009 at 8:49 am
I can’t believe they would change things so drastically after the raves the collection received after his runway show…I hope they didn’t intend on doing this the entire time and just didn’t say anything…wtf
April 30th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
i died a little on the inside. i wanted spikes and chains SO BADLY.
May 1st, 2009 at 4:37 am
Wow, what a huge disappointment. As soon as I read the title of this post, I realized it could not be good…
I’m so sad now.
May 1st, 2009 at 9:24 pm
SOO DISAPPOINTEDD i’ve been waiting on them spikes n chainss lol. now them shoes jus look blah
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:42 am
I feel the same as everyone who has commented before me.
May 19th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
okay so…that sucks, i’ve been waiting to buy the ones with the chains since i heard about it….not cool
June 9th, 2009 at 11:09 am
EPIC LETDOWN… i am contemplating what to do to hurt payless for doing this, although I must say, Christian, it seems like you were bullied by Payless, I would have told them to kiss my A** and that my collection would not be edited/watered down to such a fault. Still <3 tho and I would buy the dark boots and add my own shoe harness!
June 21st, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Oh man…really? I was really looking forward to buying the one with the chains. The boots still look pretty good…I wonder if it’s possible to put chains on myself..?
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:26 pm
it makes sence. as much as the platforms got in reviews, its probably that no-one could actully WALK in them. i dont know if i miss the spikes that much, i still want both bags.
July 11th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Those are some ugly ass teal booties…not even close to fit for the runway. Payless needs to take a lesson from Target on designer collections. WEAK!!!
August 6th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
eww no offense but all these shoes are horrible why the hell did this guy win
August 12th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
This is completely unacceptable. I think that payless underestimates the public. People would have bought those shoes. They could have charged a lot for those. I mean those spiked heels and chains were unreal, and boo hoo for u but i can rock a 6 inch stilletto with the best of ‘em. some girls just aren’t cut out for edgy stuff, so i guess we are all getting the shaft. i agree about him being bullied. they could have atleast done the chains, i mean geez how lame does it have to be for payless customers to want it. stacy bendets new line is hot though so it kinda makes up for it!!!!

The long awaited moment has arrived. Last night i just bought two pairs of his shoes on Payless.com. As of now he only has two pairs on the website, so hurry up before your size sells out. I both he pump with the chains and the brown pair with the peep toe and ankle strap.
August 16th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
after viewing the shoes at payless.com , i am EXTREMELY disappointed.
I’m sure people will just buy because they are “christian siriano”
but he would had had ALOT more sales if he left all the chains, studs and spikes on the heels. even if they were high, he could have made them less high and kept everything on. It really isn’t in the “christian siriano spirit” it has no drama, no excitement or innovation, which is what he’s all about. They ARE cute shoes, but boring.
August 19th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Not only are all the awesome chains and spikes gone, The heels aren’t even as high on them. These all blow.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I went into payless today. Although the line does not match perfectly to the runway shoes,they are hot! I also think her line is the best in payless! I don’t know what payless.com shows, but the payless in NYC has her shoes and they look really nice..STOP COMPLAINING!
