DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse

Needed a simple pair of non-​sneaker walking shoes. Had been to Clarks, The Walking Store, Macy’s etc. DSW has an amazing selection from Bernie Mev to Naturalizers. I started in clearance just to see… found about 8 potentials. Then went to the new merchandise. At that point a sales gal offered to help! She was obviously new because everything I asked her she had to find out… but she did and was so nice and helpful. Her attitude was happy retail! That is priceless! I ended up with 2 pairs of new styles, 3 clearance for $ 260! That was awesome.

I’m so mad at DSW! Why did you guys send me a «$ 20 off $ 49 and up» coupon to my house when I knew I didn’t need shoes at all?
Certainly the DSW coupon strategies worked because I was at one of their locations outside the Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg. Honestly, I can find a million of cute things at most of the DSW locations, yet I need to have self-​control and spend my money on the necessities.
I guess I can use a pair of black boots since mine has worn out and heels have begun to peel off. I was browsing through the clearance section for a bit. I couldn’t commit to purchasing anything today, but it didn’t mean that I wouldn’t at a later time.
Spending some of my pay checks annually at DSW is definitely happening, especially when I knew majority of the shoes I owned came from this little devil warehouse.
This particular location isn’t part of the mall or within the Streets of Woodfield. The best way to get to it is to head toward Sears like you are going to the mall, but turn on the opposite direction and find a spot to park in their own lot.

Fantastic and help staff! Very pleased with the customer service. I have worked retail for years and never have I experienced such a pleasant staff. I had a painful return from christmas and they were very accommodating. I bought my mom a very chic pair of tall brown boots which ended up being painful after a few wears. I know their return policy does not allow them to return worn shoes due to the fact they would have to damage them out but Josh (manager) and Stephanie where kind enough to do so. Thanks so much!

huge selection of shoes! this location seems bigger than the one by my crib so had to give it a chance. i was lookin for a particular style of shoe and color. i didnt find it but i did find 2 other shoes in clearance section hat was a great deal! i got 2 pairs of heels for $ 50 cuz i had a $ 20 off coupon! woooo hooooo! thanks DSW!!!

I went here for last minute prom shoes for my ever so picky daughter and really couldn’t quite find what she was looking for, after searching for 30 minutes. A female salesperson looked but offered no help, but just as I was about to leave and head into Woodfield Mall, a nice salesman says «oh no I see a look of disappointment «and further asks me about her dresses.
All the shoes I loved were either not in her size, which she’s a 5 or 5 ½, or not the color I was looking for. The salesman suggests we look in clearance. I was skeptical about looking in clearance, just assuming they’d have all the out of season shoes, but to my surprise the selection was actually great.
I showed the salesman a picture of both of her dresses and he came back to me with the perfect shoes. Not one pair but two pairs and they were adorable!
I was so pleased with the customer service from the male employee. I recommend looking at the clearance section if you’re not looking to spend so much for something that will never be worn again. I ended up only spending 150 $ for both pair of shoes and I don’t feel cheated that’ll they’ll only be kne hit wonders. Nice prices for nice quality shoes.

I like going here. I went here and purchased new vans shoes. They stated it was $ 5 off compared to original price. I had then gone to the mall where they do have a vans store. My shoes were about $ 5-​$ 10 cheaper than the store. For those who think they are lying about their prices they are not. DSW is the real thing.
Their selection is a little low on brands. Like if you want to search for a specific shoe brand they will have around 1 – 5 different pairs of them on display. So selection wise a little low. They do have a huge store of different style shoes. If you don’t find your brand they do have other brands similar to them.
Great store. Im glad to be a customer.

Why neon lights? Wish they would invest in their design. Drop lights at least. Great shoes of course if you are an 11.5 in women’s (which is exactly .5 over their largest size) your screwed. So welcome to my world.

I am a girl. I love shoes. To quote Toni Collete, «in her shoes», if you have a fat day, shoes will always fit and make you feel great. So yea, shoes they are amazing. Men dont get it, so this review is for the women. I love this location. They are loaded with shoes, purses, socks, hats. I am never disappointed here. They have a great variety of boots, sandals, pumps and running shoes. They even have Brooks which are a runners dream. Dont forget to visit the salea racks in the back. They have amazing shoes for half the price.
The reason I took off a star is because this place can be a bit too crowded due to its location. While i was trying on a pair of shoes, this young lady put on my flats and loved them. As funny as that appeared to be from my perspective, it was also a bit annoying.
Either I love this place, thats where I get those shoes

Great shoe store! this place is huge! You will find everything in here. I got 6 pairs today!

This is like the original DSW (at least in this area)… This is one of the larger ones. Very big. Nice long aisles. They’ve usually got fairly good stock, and you have to hit-​up the clearance racks in back! They’ve got little seats, footies if you don’t have socks on, and there’s usually employees walking around in case you need something. I think this is a great store! It’s usually hit or miss with me though: there’s days where I end up wanting like 7 pairs of shoes, and days when I can’t find even one. Either way, this is one of the first places I like to go when I know I need shoes.

This place is HUGE and insanely busy on the weekends. Are they secretly giving away shoes and I just didn’t notice? It was packed.
However, they have wide-​sized shoes, which I appreciate, and basically any model or style you’d like. The rewards program is sweet and yields even better bargains.

I thought the prices could have been better, however I did find a cool pair of boots and new handbag here, both of which I had been looking for and could not seem to find anything decent anywhere else.
Was the first time I went to this chain and I know to that I’ll be back for certain to check out the store in Milwaukee land area.

This place is hit or miss — maybe just miss. It was great at one point; the problem is, I can’t remember when.
I’ve come here only a couple times a year for the last few years, and it’s equally blah each time.
What happened?

The first thing I noticed about this location is that it is HUGE. They have a big selection… rows and rows of shoes. I was a bit disappointed by their prices. I didn’t feel that they were that cheap, and their clearance section isn’t that great either. We were never greeted, not by one person. I will probably come back, but it’s not on my life of first choices of places to look for shoes.

I was here looking for some winter boots. Unfortunately I didn’t realize that this DSW stands for designer shoes for Women as most of their store is devoted to ladies shoes. Needless to say, I didn’t find any boots. I did find a pair of casual, pointy Madden’s for the reduced price of $ 40 dollars which is the always plus.
So ladies, come on down! A store full of discounted shoes for all your needs and a cave full of clearance racks with shoes up to 50% off on sale prices. Bookmark it, its worth a look.

Nice store. Lots and Lots of women’s shoes, not a big selection of men’s shoes.
Employees are friendly and not pushy at all.
Clearance racks are in a separate area in the back… kind of secluded.

This is a good DSW location in that it’s not located right in the mall but on the outskirts of the mall parking lot. This allows for more parking and it being a little less busy then venturing into the mall.
Workers are always helpful and nice here. You can find great shoe bargains! I got a pair of shapeups for $ 30 on clearance! Wootwoot!

Well, I’m new to shopping at DSW but have been in a few of their stores over the last month mainly because I needed shoes for an upcoming wedding I’m standing up in. I’m a customer for sure, now.
I was a genius who, along with everyone else in Illinois, decided to make my returns to DSW this past Saturday. Walked in with my pair of shoes purchased at another store, and stood in the lovely line for about 20 minutes. Thank God for the chatty ladies behind me line with their entertaining conversation.
Now, the reason for my return. I purchased a pair of shoes in the store and the very next day, found the same pair online for $ 10 less. Heck, yes, I ordered them online and saved my $ 10. Every dollar counts, right?
My time in line was worth the $ 10 savings. Thank you very much.
And thank you to DSW for not giving me a hard time on my return and for politely thanking everyone, myself included, for patiently waiting. That made a difference.

Get ‘er done!

Where do shoes live? In the suburbs. Trust me on this… if you want access to hundreds of cute, affordable shoes looking for a good home, DSW in Schaumburg is one-​stop shopping heaven.
I found a comfy pair of slouchy black boots for $ 59. Yes, $ 59! And they weren’t even marked down. Now that’s the kind of regular-​priced impulse buying I feel okay with.
If you sign up for the DSW Rewards club, you’ll start racking up points towards future coupons immediately. And they hook you up for your birthday, so it’s a no-​brainer.
Check-​out could use a little chop chop, but overall this DSW is a big DO.

Don’t botha, yo. I already bought every pair of shoes in this whole store.
Ok, kidding. But geez, the sales at this one are OFF THE CHAIN. Seriously.
Nine West Gray Slouchy Boots Suede: $ 20
Nike Running Shoes: $ 23
Sweet brown pumps: $ 25
Overall, saved $ 143. WOWZA, I have a serious problem. At least its a cheap shoe problem, right?
Yeah, Schaumburg. Land of better shoes… get to the ‘burbs, it has the city locations beat by a mile! I mean who knows chains better than S-​burg? NO ONE!
tip: on Sunday nights that cycle their clearance stickers… so something that was maybe 50 percent off on Monday, will be 70 percent off on Sunday. Just sayin’…earaly-midweek will yield the best results. Live long, live well, wear great shoes.
