Loehmann’s Shoes

The shoes are now is the basement of the main store which is right across the street if you are on Sutter. Plus I caved and became a club member for $ 25 bucks a year. I automatically get 10% off every purchase which can be combined with other discounts. Love this store!

CLOSED! Moved to the basement of the large Loehmann’s across the street.
Bummer, I liked 3 levels of shoes. Made me feel empowered!
Now, there’s going to be a Men’s Store there. Men’s Store??? 3 levels of shirts and ties? That’s blasphemy!

I have to meditate before I walk in this store. The organization of the shoes is horrendous, mostly because other customers don’t understand how to put shoes back where they found them.
On the plus side, where else can I buy two pairs of work shoes for under $ 80? They have a great range of casual and dressy shoes and a good variety of manufacturers. I also like that they have my small shoe size in stock.

Sooes.
I am obsessed with sooes. Not shoes. Sooes.
I bought these amazing Seychelles wooden sooes here for $ 40. They’re currently selling the same pair at Urban Outfitters for $ 90.
Yes, they’re four inches, and yes, I understand there’s a possibility of me breaking both my ankles — but instantly being four inches taller is worth it. And at $ 40, I couldn’t resist.
Sometimes, I take my lunch break here. I don’t eat. I just look. And buy sooes.

Here’s my prayer for tonight:
(Ahem)
Dear God, thank you for the super slutty shoes I’ve always wanted since I was a child. I remember drawing these types of shoes to match the Cyndi Lauper type wedding dress and lace gloves and wondering where I’ll ever find a pair in white. But I’m a grown up now and I prefer the super slutty shoes in black. Thanks lord.
We walked in completely by chance only because it was a lazy Sunday and I had never been to a Loehmann’s Shoes. What a novel idea-​devoting an entire Loehmann’s just for shoes. (gasp!) The nice gentleman (who I refer to as the Wal-​Mart greeter) handed out coupons for surprise savings. 95% of the coupons entailed $ 10 off your purchase. $ 10 off a pair of shoes could still be worthy of taking care of the new higher tax rate so I appreciated the extra incentive.
After finding nothing of interest on the ground floor and realizing how ridiculous I looked in both gladiator heels and flats, I went downstairs for a peak at the designer discounts. And there it was… the DKNY 5″ patent leather heel with just enough leather to cover my toes and cuff my ankle. And reduced from $ 275 to $ 60! The last ones came in my size so these were definitely coming home with me post haste.
I took them upstairs with me and this surprise coupon that was handed to me gave me $ 25 off my purchase! Only 4% of all the coupons awarded $ 25 off and I was lucky enough to be given one of the lucky ones. I took it as a sign from God of course that I was meant to have these shoes. Not only were they front and center in the display, reduced over 50% and given an additional 40% off, they give me the extra 5 inch boost any girl would be happy with.

I don’t know if I came in on a bad day or what (this was a while back), but all they had were flats, which I never wear. Ummm… hasn’t this shoe store heard of heels? Or boots? Or sandals? Oh yeah! I just remembered. They had flats and flip flops with fake crystal rocks/​diamonds, which I also don’t wear, and that was it.
I’m sure they carry boots and heels, it’s a shoe store so how could they not? But how could they leave up 90% of flats on the shelves? I don’t know, you tell me.
I’m guessing it was a trend at the time, but still, come on now. It was as though I was in flat ville. Anyways, I may come back just to see if anything changed (mostly whether my opinion will change). The other reviews seem to give this place 4+ stars, so… Loehmann’s don’t disappoint me… or else I’ll visit your rival… DSW. haha…=)

I love how there is a big variety of designers from Steve Madden to Michael Kors.
I came in today since boots were an extra 30% and everything else 25%, however the boots I DID like were not my sizes and there were slim pickins’ cos of the sale. HOWEVER I did manage to find some amazing chinese laundry flats to wear to my birthday dinner tonight.
A year or so back they had amazing red satin Valentino stilettos. Guess who bought them for $ 95 when they were originally $ 475? yah. me.

I’m a whore, a slut, and a slave for shoes. I am particularly fond of stilettos, knee boots, and steeply discounted designer. While I’m not typically into the whole Discount Store shopping experience, this semi-​classy joint makes me feel less like the cheap you-​know-​what that I am and more like a grown up lady looking for a hot deal on come-​screw-​me heels.
Don’t get me wrong– this ain’t Cole Haan, but they do a good job of keeping the place tidy, organized, and well kept. The designer section is pretty awesome and the sales (again…looking for a hot deal) are out of this world. They also carry Spanx and other «figure enhancing» undergarments at discounted prices, which is excellent seeing as I am not simply a shoe whore, but a shoe whore with body dysmorphic disorder and a major shopping addiction.

While I may not always find my size here, this place is great for browsing for the types of shoes I like and may get elsewhere (like online or something).
I usually do my shoe browsing at DSW, but Loehmann’s has brands here I’ve never would’ve thought to look at (or even see), such as Paris Hilton’s line. I totally forgot she had a line of shoes until I came here and saw some cute ones.
Sometimes I walk out empty-​handed, but when I score I usually score big. My best finds so far are $ 300 boots for $ 65, and fancy schmacy gold sandals that were originally $ 100 for $ 20.

The display always draws me in but when I get inside to get a closer look, NOTHING appeals to me. The store seems to be more of an outlet shoe store but their shoes are still pretty expensive. There’s two floors with the clearance shoes on the second floor .
Cute shoes? Nope .
Flirty shoes? Nope .
Flashy shoes? Nope .
Sophisticated /​Classy shoes? Nope .
Cheap shoes? Nope .
Shoes w/​good quality? Not really .
Ugly shoes? Check .
Waste of time? Check .
Damn the stupid deceiving display !!

I was gonna pop by Nine West during my lunch, but when I walked by, it was gone! Still wanting to satisfy my shoe shopping urge, I ended up at Loehmann’s and bought a pair of boots. I love how the receipt tells me I saved $ 230 on a pair of $ 300 shoes. It just makes me laugh since I would never spend $ 300 on the shoes to begin with! Anywayz, I’ve never been on any other floor besides the main floor, but next time, I’m definitely going to check out the top floor! 50% off?! That’s my style!!!

My reactions floor by floor:
Ground floor: Some of these are cute, but what’s the big deal. I can buy the same quality shoes for $ 50 pretty much anywhere.
Bottom floor: Oooooo pretty! (Looks at price tag) Nevermind.
Top floor: HOLY CRAP, 50% off already ridiculous prices? Why didn’t I come here first?! It’s heavenly, which might explain the upmost floor.
Needless to say, this review is on the top floor. I tried on every shoe that was in or near my size. True, some were broken or missing it’s other half, but I managed to find the pairs I needed and then some. I needed some black flats for work, and I ended up walking out with two pairs (really who needs two pairs of black flats?). I also bought a pair of signature Michael Kors flats, which I saw the day before in Ross (I don’t care what you say, damn cheapest place to buy sheets) for $ 30. At Loehmann’s, $ 17.50!
I spent nearly $ 50 on 3 pairs of shoes. You really can’t say that about many places.

Jessica T’s review on Loehmann’s Shoes was just enough to rouse my inner shoe whore for a little bargain shopping. I had shopped here only once about 3 years ago and never went back because I’m not into cheaply made, plastic, out-​of-​style shoes. But I figured if Jessica found Michael Kors, they must have changed…
They haven’t changed a bit. It’s just that all the good shoes are on the second floor. I didn’t know they had a second floor… Doh!
There were tons of designer brands that were on clearance and were an additional 40% off on top of the clearance price. Not only that but since I wear a popular size I *never* find anything good on clearance. This wasn’t the case here as I found not one, but three pair of fabby shoes for under $ 100. In fact, my receipt said «You saved $ 554.06 off department store prices.»
Yeah baby, who doesn’t love hot designer shoes at Bargain prices?

I just bought a pair of sexy Michael Kors leather Espadrille wedges here for 50 dollars.
They were originally $ 265.00
That is all.

This place used to be okay, but they just dropped a couple stars when they reorganized the place. Now the upstairs is all clearance (icky, picked through, falling to pieces but still costs a lot). It takes forever to find something, shoes aren’t even in the right box, and the only thing you can find costs $ 200. I don’t think so.

For some reason, $ 30 always sounds like a reasonable price to me. I can justify buying anything if it’s only 30 bucks. I have good luck applying this method at Loehmann’s Shoes.
I was forced to abandon stilettos after taking an embarrassing spill on my way to work last year. And while Loehmann’s has a ton of ridiculously tall, strapy, pointy F.M.P.s, I have managed to get several pairs of sensible flats… and some especially practical hound’s tooth galoshes.
Plus, they have a great «Buy 5 Get One Half Off» coupon (which is a lot easier to complete then it may sound).
Minus one star because the shoes and shoe boxes are usually mismatched.

Shoes.
Shoes.
Shoes.
Oh my God.
Shoes.
Let’s get some shoes.

These shoes are three hundred dollars.

Um…this style runs small. I don’t think you’re gonna fit.
I mean, your feet are kinda big.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, by the way betch,
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
Yep, they have shoes that suck, they have shoes that rule, they have shoes that are a bargain and shoes that cost three hundred dollars (that don’t always fit because my feet are kinda big). They have them in a 3 story warehouse «serve yourself «setting where I have never seen an associate to help me on the sales floor. This doesnt matter because I am a shoe whore so even in all of the chaos I can usually get what I want… at a discount!
They also have a security guy at the door that has no idea that I already have too many shoes so I would not dream of stealing any. For his looks of mistrust I say «by the way betch. FUCK YOU!».

Shoes, three floors of discounted women’s shoes! No men’s shoes, no kids’ shoes and a frequent buyer program to boot. The door person used to open the door for me, but that’s no longer the case… or perhaps I’ve been away for too long.
BASEMENT: Dressy shoes including heels. This is my favorite floor and it feels like it has the most pairs of shoes too. You can find some really good deals (e.g., Calvin Klein braided leather sandals for $ 27) especially if you have quirky taste in shoes (e.g., sky high wedges, bright colors). You know, you’re the type that likes the shoes no one else wants… sadly, I don’t fall into this category.
I like the variety of brands from Steve Madden, Betsey Johnson, BC BG, to Isaac Mizrahi. It’s all self-​serve too, which is better than having someone go fetch shoes for you. You can spend hours trying on shoes in here.
GROUND FLOOR: Designer shoes and hosiery. I’m not too impressed with this floor and I love designer shoes. I have seen Moschino, Lacroix, Marc Jacobs, and Jean-​Michel Cabazat in the past but lately I haven’t seen anything that interests me… but designers do change. I find Michael Kors plain and boring. Yawn.
TOP FLOOR: Casual shoes, including sneakers and flats, more for juniors with brands like Sam Edelman, Rebels, Penny Loves Kenny, Jeffrey Campbell, etc. The higher end Delman brand is carried on this floor since they’re known for their flats. The selection of flats is pretty good. You can usually find a pair of cute ballet slippers here.
Overall, Loehmann’s carries better brands and more current styles than DSW.

Like most girls, I LOVE SHOES!!! Loehmann’s Shoes fulfills my shoe needs!
I’ve bought so many pairs of shoes here that I can’t even count how many. They have the cutest, most unique shoes for ridiculously cheap prices. I love how you can buy shoes on clearance, get an additional percentage off the marked price and then use a coupon on top of it (sometimes you can even stack the coupons if it’s your bday)!!! Love it, that’s my kind of deal!
Here’s a list of some of my best shoe buys:
— Sergio Rossi royal blue open toe heels — $ 40
— St. John orange open toe heels — $ 50
— Michael Kors tan wedges — $ 28
— KORS cream open toe heels — $ 25
— Burberry green flip flops — $ 28
— Marc Jacob purple pumps — $ 50
— Bruno Magli tan flats — $ 30
— Juicy blue/​white espadrille flats — $ 10
Get the picture? It’s CHEAP!
Loehmann’s Shoes is my SHOE HEAVEN!!! You should definitely check it out!

Four stars: Why? For that one in five times that I walk in and find a cute pair of designer shoes at a reasonable price. What a rush.
After all, it’s the thrill of the hunt! Ladies wouldn’t you agree?
Oh ok… not to mention all the comments on your new kicks that make it all worth the time and energy in hunting down a pair of kicks at Loehmann’s.
(wink wink)
