I have been very satisfied with the quality of the shoes I have gotten from here. Earlier today, I had an excellent experience with Cameron, the assistant manager as I needed help selecting 3 pairs of shoes -- one for everyday walking, one for road running, and one for trail running. Cameron was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, helping to make recommendations and allowing me to try on a wide range of shoes until I found what worked for me. Thanks for all the help Cameron!

After this long wait, we decided to leave. Won't go to this store anymore - I had a similar experience previously. Thankfully, there is the San Mateo store! Please do talk with your vendors and train them on how work in parallel and take care of customers. Nobady should have to wait 20+ minutes and not even be greeted. We would have been fine with just getting the shoes in our size and could have tried them on by ourselves. Very disapointing, we were just ignored.

I'm already a fan of DSW, whether seeking sandals, pumps, or sneakers for running. On my recent visit, their selection of professional footwear did not disappoint. I found about 6-7 I liked, only 3 of those had my size, so I ended up purchasing those three (brands including Dr. Scholl's, Kelly & Katie, and Anne Klein), which was ideal, preventing me from overspending. I prefer simple and comfortable when it comes to shoes, nothing flashy, and DSW usually has good options. This store, in particular, stood out during my recent visit. It's the first two-story DSW I've been to. And everything was clean and organized, well stocked for the most part. Not to mention, they had great purses on display too (more than I've seen at other locations of this chain). There was hardly a wait for service to make my purchase on Tuesday afternoon. And staff was helpful and efficient at the register, which I appreciated. Also, for the quality of shoes here, the price is fair, especially if you are a VIP member like me, as we get frequent discounts and rewards.

Review for Desmond…read more We always have a great experience at this footwear store, thanks to Desmond. He consistently gives us excellent customer service and goes above and beyond to help, especially considering we can be pretty complicated customers when it comes to choosing shoes!

I went in to check out the clothing area and Kizik shoes my friend had told me about for travel. I…read moredid not intend to buy right now since the trip I wanted the shoes for isn't until August. I was warmly greeted by a few different associates. And then came Kyle -- He was attentive to me while I asked a lot of product information questions about the brand. I was amazed at how knowledgeable he was and more amazed that he had only worked there for a few months. He seemed like a very seasoned and well trained employee. I ended up buying a pair of Kizik's on the spot because of Kyle's fine service. I work in a retail store that sells shoes and I get a pretty handsome discount, so I don't often shoe shop at another store. But I was so wowed by Kyle's service that there was no way I would leave the store without purchasing from him. Did I mention he pulled up one of those low stools and helped me put on the shoes and made sure they fit properly. Who does that these days! Usually, they bring the shoes out, drop them at your feet and head off to do something else, only to return if you want to buy. There's a reason his business card says "Rockstar Sales Associate." He sure is! Thanks Kyle.

She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to understand what I was looking for. Kay had me try on a few different options and really focused on getting the right fit and comfort, rather than rushing the process. I appreciated how patient she was and how she explained the differences between the shoes. You can tell she genuinely cares about helping customers find the right pair. The store itself is clean, well organized, and has a great selection of running and walking shoes. I ended up leaving with a pair that feels great. Big thanks to Kay for the excellent service. If you're looking for running or walking shoes and want knowledgeable help, definitely check this place out.

John immediately jumped to my aid when I walked in, and helped answer all my questions thoughtfully and compassionately. He took all the time I needed to try out different options and guide me through the pros and cons. As a bonus, my girlfriend was with me at the time, and she was so impressed with the service that she asked John for assistance when I was done. He helped identify what options could help and got her set up with some custom insoles. We both left feeling very well taken care of and have been enjoying the difference we already notice in our day-to-day workout routines.

We have been to this location a couple of times by now and this review is long overdue. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they actually took the time to do an assessment and explain their recommendations instead of rushing us through. It felt helpful, not salesy, which I really appreciated. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for running shoes or inserts and want some guidance from people. They have a solid selection of sports gear. It's on the expensive side, but it's worth it if it works out for you

A long time ago, this is the kinda place where Sneakerheadz waited outside on the day a pair of Jordan's were to be released and it was an exciting time. Times have changed and most of us just buy our sneaks online. Or, more likely, we outgrew the obsession altogether and spend our hard earned cash on baby shoes now!!!
