DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse

I just want to give a quick shout-​out to this place after a great experience today. I love this DSW — shop here every time I need new shoes. However, I picked up a pair on Tuesday for $ 80, only to realize they were clearanced online to $ 40 today. Big drop, right? I know most places offer price adjustments, but noticed DSW didn’t seem to have a policy. When I showed up with my receipt today, I half expected a «Sorry, we can’t do anything for you… online prices are different, we don’t have a policy, etc. etc.» Well, I think the gal was supposed to say most of that, but she provided true customer service, and recognized that it was a bad experience for me… especially considering only 2 days had lapsed since the purchase. She didn’t press the issue, was friendly, and swiftly made the adjustment, refunding my card. I really appreciated it and left happy, knowing I’ll be back to buy more shoes from them.

I really have no business or need to come here. Yet, I still do. While that is something that needs to be addressed by my shoe therapist, I will just review the store for now.
Conveniently located next to Target, Cub, Tjmaxx and the TCF bank (in case you ran out of cash) this store is quite fabulous.
Selection — Shoes… they have them. Fancy boots, booties, snow boots, uggs, extra ugly uggs, work shoes, pumps, glittery shoes for your friends wedding, extra high heel shoes for that night on the town when you make some bad decisions, but still want to look good, running shoes, walking shoes, comfortable shoes, flats to go out with the short boyfriend, shoes for the said short boyfriend. They have it all. They also have purses, wallets, some accessories and socks, in case you dont want to do laundry and need some clean ones.
Service — friendly, not to pushy, but they try to sign you up for some rewards card i.e. a way for them to track your purchases. I think that its a bit creepy, so I try to avoid giving them my info. But there is some deal attached to that, so if you have a PO box and a fake ID it might be worth it.
Other then that, the store is organized and easy to navigate.
Prices — most of the shoes that are not on sale, are marked up a bit. You can try them on and go find them online for cheaper. The best deals are to be had in the clearance section, that’s where I usually go. And I dont just go to my size, sometimes you can find something super cute and rare like a poetic licence pump in size 5.5 for $ 40. Take the shoe to the register and have them try to find it in other stores. If they have it, they can ship it to you for free. You have to learn the color discount scheme, purple is 70% and my favorite yellow is 80%, so watch out for those.
So yeah, get your shoes on girls and boys!

Shoe mecca! Love me a good pair of shoes and DSW is a great place to score some great deals on all kinds of footwear, from winter boots to sky-​high sandals.
I always head straight to the back of the store to check out the clearance section first; I’ve gotten some quality footwear inexpensively by raiding the discount section. Oh, and become a rewards member. It’s free and you can earn gift certificates and occasionally get mailed freebies or other discount offers.
The location of this particular DSW is also very convenient — Target, Cub and a handful of clothing stores are nearby, so why not treat yourself to a new pair after all of your errands have been done?
The staff here are always friendly and helpful. I have a male friend who sometimes dresses in drag and I was very impressed when a sales associate didn’t even bat an eyelash when asked for assistance finding heels.

What I really love about this location is that they have a large selection to choose from, they don’t charge an arm and a leg for what you buy, they have a decent frequent shopper program and (MOST IMPORTANTLY) they don’t have a childrens shoe section.
Once I found a brand of shoes that fit me off the shelf I kept coming back to buy more and more of the same style of shoes.
Staff will approach you and ask if you need assistance and once you decline they basically leave you alone. I like that once you say no to one staff person they all give you room to browse without other staff members coming up to ask if you need help.
If you haven’t signed up for their frequent shopper program you should as it is free and they send you coupons for money off your next purchase.
Don’t forget to check out the clearance racks at the back of the store for deeper discounts on the shoes that other shoppers have bought and returned. You can save some serious money back there.

I always have positive experiences at DSW but today I felt like I received really great customer service from Henry. I feel like he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and I think it shows that DSW cares about customer service and their customers. I think there is a great selection at DSW and DSW prices are always lower than the retail price; the employees at the Knollwood Mall location are always friendly and upbeat and appear to enjoy working there which is nice to see.

I love DSW, especially this location. Why… well, ‘cuz I always walk out with a purchase! I always go in and find what I’m looking for taking all the legwork out of shoe shopping… such a huge selection on designer shoes, at great prices. This location is my favorite. I really like the styles they have here (both shoes and bags) …and yes, believe it or not, not all DSW is the same! I’ve shopped around. My favorite time to go are weeknights… I love having the room to try pairs of shoes to my hearts content! They’ve got one of the best rewards programs, too (free to join, ofcourse!) you save even more with their coupons and reward certs… ahhh…with DSW, I get to enjoy shoe therapy. and learned that it does indeed exist! What’s not to love about saving money on quality shoes that makes you look and feel good! Ahh DSW, how do I love thee!

I have a pair of shoes for every occasion. Out on the town? Check. Work? Check. Snow outing? Check. Running? Check (Although my running shoes still look very new after 6 months of «use.» *cough*) This place has reasonable prices to satisfy the shoe fetish in all of us and the selection is astounding. It’s almost too much shoe to take in. Like going into the cereal aisle and being overloaded by all the delicious selections. Which cereal is right for me! You have to know what you need and do some research before crossing the threshold to this store or prepared to be stunned.
Now if you are looking for advice on technical specs for a specific shoe, don’t go here. Go to a specialty store like The Running Room, Foot Locker or even REI. You go to DSW because you already know what you want and you want to grab it for a decent price.
If only they sell inexpensive snow shoes for harsh Minnesnowta winters, then this store will be complete.

What girl doesn’t love discounted shoes?!
This store has many brands and accessories up the wazoo! Handbags are in the front of the store, so I try to avoid this section like the plague if I am trying to save some money (handbags are my weakness).
They have everything from basic nude pumps, to running shoes, to wedding shoes, to funky designer shoes. Check here before you pay full price at a department store or online. Most recently I scored myself a pair of Mizuno running shoes for $ 80 (even less than zappos!)
Go straight to the back to the clearance section before looking at anything else. Frequently I can score a pair of shoes at the yellow, 80% off price, paying next to nothing for something fab!
Also, make sure to sign up for the rewards card. Its free and you earn points on every purchase, worth rewards certificates for $ 10 off or more.

This always happens to be a «quick stop» on the way to or from Target in Saint Louis Park. I always manage to find an awesome pair of shoes… maybe not exactly what I was looking for, but a pair that I like nonetheless.
And when I discovered their rewards program, it really seals the deal for me. I have earned a few $ 10 off coupons to date… which either means they are generous with the discounts or I spend too much on shoes.
Regardless, I love just wondering the aisles. It is soooo therapeutic.

DSW why must you be so close to me… even after a 2,000 mile move…
I’m a sucker for shoes– cute shoes that is. in 30 days i have purchased 3 pairs of shoes from this place… one i took back after realizing i don’t need it… i wasn’t sure if the DSW’s in MN was going to be anything like the ones in CA but after stepping in… i felt at place again… and again i went crazy and bought a pair of pumps, Jessica Simpson heels and Steve Madden sandals… Andrew was sneaky too and bought himself a pair of canvas while i was at work… gotta love the no tax!

I heart DSW.
I went there and found 3 pairs of shoes I could NOT live without. The selection is really unbeatable and the prices are awesome for designer shoes.
I highly recommend snagging a salesperson to help you. The lady helping me found shoes that I would never have picked myself, but looked excellent on me. Their staff seems to know and love the shoe world. I even overheard two of them gossiping about the latest shipment… that’s love.
They also have a selection of purses/​accessories. I find the purses to be less than thrilling, but every once in awhile you’ll be able to dig out a saucy oversized pink clutch that you look fabulous toting around!
If you have been searching for a brown pair of knee-​high boots with ¾ inch heel and a little bow… search no more. DSW has it all. Literally. I even spotted a flat pair of denim shoes with zippers up the ankle and chains hanging off the sides. If that’s your thing, you’re in luck!

Great, great, great selection of shoes. Check the sale racks at the back!!! Those are where you can really find a great deal.

This is one of the first places that I come when I want some shoes. They sell generic and name brands, so there is a little bit of everything for everyone. They have dressy shoes, boots, athletic shoes and accessories to go with them. I ended up with new workout shoes and a Nike workout bag for a great price. You can save even more if you join their shoe club for free. When my birthday comes around they send me coupons.
The bigger name brands can still be a bit pricey, but the shoes last a long time if you take care of them properly. You just have to be careful because some crappy pairs will make their way to the store. These are easy to spot out if you take any time at all to inspect the shoe.
