Payless ShoeSource announced the continued expansion of its Champion Activelite collection featuring minimalist shoe technology. 

The retailer now has several Activelite styles for men, women and children at prices starting at $15 for thong sandals and $35 for performance runners.

The Champion//Activelite collection includes the ActiveFlex, a style that integrates flexibility and  lightweight technology into the design, as well as the Squeezlite sandal and Blaze runner.

“Our Champion//Activelite shoes are amazingly lightweight — a shoe is as light as a stack of feathers or three sheets of bubble wrap,” said LuAnn Via, CEO of Payless.  “Weve combined our Activelite technology with supportive insole cushioning and flexibility features  to keep people light on their feet and to aid ease of motion — for any workout activity.  These active lifestyle and performance shoes look and feel great and function like they cost three times the price.”
