J D R Shoe Warehouse

The manager here is not a nice person. Very rude. As big as the place is they have a horrible selection of shoes. I can never find a nice pair of heels. they are overpriced of some shoes.

If DSW Shoe Warehouse and John’s Sneaks in Ardmore were to get together in a joint-​venture, J D R Shoe Warehouse would be that store.
The Rev. Dr. Steak and I decided to check this store out after a lovely dinner at Outback Steakhouse next door. This is a large, open space, with shoes stacked on top of rectangular boxes, very similar in layout to a DSW. The difference? Clearly more budget-​friendly signage, lighting and, most importantly, pricing.
The store offers a wide variety of shoe types and styles, and has a very good little kids’ section — something DSW does not offer. Their ‘big kid’ selection when we were there was not as solid, however it offered some decent choices.
In both Men’s and Women’s shoes they offered everything from dress shoes to sandals to sneakers. I saw Women’s sizes up to 12, though the selections in 11 and 12 were slimmer. Name brands — Nike, NB, Saucony, Chinese Laundry, Uggs and Bear Claw (and other «fugg» brands). Columbia, Dockers, Merrill, Timbaland.
The best part was the pricing. Regular pricing easily 30−40% off retail, even beating online by a strong margin. Their clearance, even better. We were able to score a pair of Columbia hiking boots and a pair of Docker’s loafers, combined $ 104. Boots alone best price online (thank you Red Laser) were $ 94.99.
They seem to operate on a similar model to John’s Sneaks — quality items, last season’s models, very discounted. There are so many ‘seasons’ anymore in shoes it’s not like people notice you don’t have the ‘latest’ and they are excellent quality shoes for significantly less.
For those who like quality shoes, like bargains and don’t mind a shopping environment that’s less ‘styled’ than the chains, this is your place. Have fun.
