DSW can be found at the Desert Ridge Marketplace. For all you shoe fanatics, this is a great place to see s bit of everything shoe wise. They also carry some clothing, socks, purses and a donation box for your gently used shoes. I believe they have undergone a transformation by moving things around. The place seemed brighter and roomy. The set up is organized by gender and type of shoe. If they don't have your size, they can check other stores and order it for you if an available. There are plenty of staff roaming the aisles should you need assistance. The bargain shoes in the back has also changed. Those shoes have been already marked down and there is no further discount. At one time, you could get an additional percentage off the marked price. Gone are those days. Shared parking and WiFi. read more

We decided to stop and check out this location today on our way back from lunch in Scottsdale. We've come to really like DSW for their variety of shoes. Some can be pretty pricey, but if you join their rewards programs you can earn quite a bit of money off of your purchase which is what happened with us today. Service was friendly and the store was clean. We found a pair of shoes we liked and were in and out pretty quick. read more

They have great specials. I got 2 pairs of shoes for almost 40% off. Very happy with the pricing and customer service was good, not too pushy or anything. read more

This location of DSW is located at Desert Ridge. Tons and tons of ample parking. Parking lot and entryway to the store are quite clean. I've been to this location several times. I did not realize I had not written a review here yet. My wife and I came here to look around for new running shoes. Lots of employees, but no one acknowledged our presence at all today despite only a handful of other people being in the entire store. Their variety is mediocre for men's athletic shoes and sizes are not well-organized at all. Maybe the size 12's shouldn't be in the middle of the size 8's and 10's, but maybe that's how it goes at DSW. Their prices really aren't any better than anywhere else either. I think it's often misunderstood that you're going to find sneakers at a bargain price at DSW and that's simply not the case. I looked at the Brooks Ghost 13's this morning and they're $129.95 at DSW and that same price anywhere else. In fact, that's standard MSRP from Brooks so you're not getting any sort of spectacular deal from DSW. I even tried them on and several more employees walked past me (how many people do you actually need working here) and none of them acknowledged me at all. Walked past a few more employees on our way out the door and again, zero acknowledgement. Zero organization to the sizes. Crappy service. MSRP pricing. Not sure I really need to go back. read more

DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse - Good luck. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Super unhappy. I visited the store looking for the Betsey Johnson rhinestone sneaker on Monday, February 6th. I found the silver ones. To my dismay, the box was destroyed and the shoes were dirty. The soles were worn. There was no other 8.5 so I approached the cashier to see if there was a discount available. 88.99 for with shoes did not please me. The mgr. Offered me 20% off. Nah, I told her I would just order online through the Ap. She offered me the same discount if I bought them with her and had them shipped to my house. Okay, I'll do that. Today February 8th I received the sneakers. Wow, that was fast. But..... After I open them up I find out these are worn also. Are you kidding me DSW? So selling worn shoes is a thing? Very disappointed. These will be going back. Sad! And the box is damaged too! So side note: there was another woman looking to buy these sneakers beside me. She was just as annoyed. read more

Ellie was fantastic! She exemplified everything a salesperson should be: friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable! By far the best salesperson I've ever had. Thank you so much! -Rachel Smith read more

I just had to get on here and point out how great DSW is. I am always finding great shoes to keep my wardrobe updated, and I feel good about donating shoes back when I am finished with them. Yesterday as I donated shoes and looked around I was approached by a store employee Noah who offered assistance. He truly went above and beyond to have the item shipped to my home when they didn't have my size. He also immediately helped at the register when things got busy. He and the girl next to him at the register were courteous and patient while we go through our usable coupons. I approached the store manager and shared with her my experience with Noah. It's very rare in todays society to be able to touch, feel and try on anything with online shopping taking so much. This store has everything, womens, kids, men and even those teenagers. Well stocked, well lit and clean with great employees. The live shopping experience can't be beat! read more

Decent DSW, one huge warehouse style that overwhelms the low row of practically stacked shoes. The racks are a little loose in some parts and seemed cheaply out together. The shoes were mixed up and not all under the same area as the shoe on top, which led to accidental discovery of the shoes I wanted. Customer service was standard and minimal. You get what you want and get out. read more

We love to come in here and walk around but the highlight of every visit is definitely Ann Marie who is always so excited to help us and take our things up front. Highly recommend! Give her a raise! The shoes are nice too. read more

Yea i didnt like you manager's attitude. Im a strong believer for a store to succeed it needs good and motivated leadership and what he showed me today was below the standards of a MOTIVATED AND DEDICATED LEADER. Especially as a manager of a retail store it takes honor courage and commitment to hold the title of a manager and he did not show that today, he represents your store and there needs to be a change. As a consumer im disappointed on the way he performed.Everyone else was good. Thank you and have a good day. read more

This is a review from shopping a few months ago. I had to go up to the register and through the line 4 times (a common trend with DSW due to their excessive and, at times, burdensome Terms and Conditions of their Rewards and Coupons) to find some socks to utilize some of their holiday bonus cards before they expired. Kylie was EXTREMELY nice, kind, patient, and helpful. She did not get mad when I asked questions and she offered to go out of her way to find some socks that would match the coupon. The store is much cleaner (and newer) than the 3+ Illinois locations I usually shop at. Kudos to management for actually not wanting their place to look dirty and full of liter. read more

Full disclosure - I'm a VIP Elite level shopper at DSW so I consider shoe shopping and deal hunting a recreational pastime. This is definitely the premier place to practice the hobby. Great selection and values can be found, particularly if taking advantage of the free VIP program and utilizing the coupons and offers. But even without VIP, the holiday gift card deals, sales and clearance area can present some really good offerings. The staff is always helpful, patient and willing to assist. read more

Great place to find shoes! So many to choose from. They have name brand shoes! If you can't find your size they can order it for you or you can order it online. If they don't fit you can return them. They also have purses, jewelry, & hats. They do have a clearance section in the back. Sign up for emails & rewards. read more

Ordered a hat online to pick up at the store. Hat was so bent and full of lint. Manager told clerk to use scotch tape as a lint brush, she was so busy going to lunch. I then order hat online again delivered to my hm, hat came in a bag beat up...what happened to a box? There resolution was to return & order a 3rd one...? read more

Every time I shop at this DSW location, I have a terrible experience. Employees are extremely rude, customer service does NOT exist. I was browsing for ~20 mins looking for a pair of work heels, the same two employees passed me multiple times and not one asked if I needed assistance, but they asked other customers. I've had multiple negative experiences here and will boycott this location. read more

Shoes, shoes & even more shoes! The store is set up with shoes on display with various sixes in boxes beneath. There are no sales people to assist, so if you size is not present, move on! Good selection, decent prices ( I think?) Overall, not a bad option read more

DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse - Shoe Stores Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm unsure if I have ever walked out of a DSW without a bag in my hand. This particular location at Desert Ridge is a big one, so take some time out of your day and roam around! I went in on December 31st with a fresh gift card from Christmas in hand. Clearance aisles, here I come!!! If you're unfamiliar with DSW, take a look at the colored stickers, then find a sign nearby that explains what percentage off of the item you get. You can get up to 60% off of some items! Well, on December 31st, there was an extra 20% off clearance items!!! I happened to see a beautiful pair of Steve Madden heels great for work. Normally, they were priced at $100 (already lower than the normal price at other stores). The shoes had a blue sticker, which means 30% off, then with the additional 20% off, I ended up paying (with my gift card lol) around $50. DSW is all about deals...and you know I'm all about deals. read more

This location is standard, stocked, a nice location. I am reviewing specifically for the employee that helped me today. Being someone in the business of people, I make my buying decisions largely based on customer service. Today I had an issue with ringing up all these shoes I had just spent hours shopping for. My gift card wasn't working and I had no internet (thanks Verizon) in the store to see what was going on with my gift card. Lisa was super patient and more than accommodating while I called the company who issued the card And got my stuff situated. She did not have to wait or even be patient with me but she did, and with a smile. Thanks for your help today, Lisa! read more

Went to return some shoes, I paid with a debit card and should have been able to get cash back on my return. I have talked to my bank, and they have said that as long as you use the debit card, you should be able to get cash back. The cashier, Noah Jones (including last name because he provided it) said that's against policy for the company to provide cash back. That's upsetting because now I have to wait a few days 3 to 5 days to get my money back. I will not be shopping here again, plus the quality is poorly made. read more

I like shoes. Shoe shopping is a stress reliever for me even if I don't buy anything. This particular location is closest to my office and I come here a few times a year when I feel I must go outside the office. Walking up and down the aisle, thinking about where my shoes will take me next helps me relieve some stress. I did purchase some cute heels from here, and also picked up heels I purchased online as well. No pressure from sales staff, allows me to just look around until I feel like it. If I need help, staff is always available right away and friendly. read more

Awesome selection of shoes! I only shop at DSW and the Desert Ridge location is my favorite. If they don't have your size, don't worry, they will order one in your size and have them shipped to your house for FREE! If you get the shoes shipped to you and they don't fit, don't worry, you an return them back to the store. Love all their sales and deals. Their customer service is on point, always smiling and willing to help. Make sure to checkout the clearance section in the back, lots of markdowns. read more

Love this store selection, employees helpful but not trying to SELL you. Ever since I found this store years ago I've been a loyal customer. I love the self service aspect to try on as many shoes as you want without feeling guilty. Great prices & rewards!! read more

If you are a shoe lover, like me, this is a great place to hit for brand name shoes with good pricing. My latest venture here was to try and find boots for my best friend's barn themed wedding. I was greeted on my way in and directed to the exact section that had my needs. I was quickly able to find a great pair of boots that was perfect for the occasion, and comparative to online pricing, a good deal. The sections are really well organized, and it's easy to see across the aisles to determine what they offer. The line had several people when I headed to check out, but they had several cashiers available, and it moved quickly. The cashier was very friendly and seemed extremely genuine. Overall: A A definite repeat visit shoe lover's paradise! read more

I didn't know this DSW existed up in North Phoenix until my regular DSW (Scottsdale) called them to hold a pair of cute sandals for me. This DSW appears to be larger than the Scottsdale store, which is always cool (we are talkin' about a shoe store here). The employees were helpful in this location just like the other one. If you've never been in a DSW, it's a pretty large shoe store -- there's something for women, men, and kids here. Casual shoes, sneakers, flip flops, dress shoes, hiking sandals, heels, wedges, and -- THE CLEARANCE SECTION!! Woohoo!! I like this store, but parking leaves A LOT to be desired at this location; this store is in the same lot with a Target. Watch out for lots of pedestrians, kids with inattentive parents, and lonely shopping carts looking to make friends with your car's sheet metal... read more

Receive a $30 off coupon for purchases over $49. Some restrictions apply. Went to the store and found a pair of New Balance for $69 dollars. Cashier stated there not covered by the coupon. How would I know, there was nothing that was list in mail with the coupon. She said you should have gone online. She then show us an 8 1/2 x 11 paper listing about 40 to 50 manufactures where the coupon doesn't apply. Amazon has the same shoes for 5$ less. NEVER again.! read more

Employees are not interested and very demotivated. Wanted a particular orthotics size and they rather sell the wrong size than go in the back to find the correct one. When cashier helped us go get the correct one she put us back in line and did not respect our time. Associates not trained for customer care unfortunately. read more

I had a coupon for $20 off with a $69 purchase... GAME ON! So I hunted: found a pair of Ascis for working out (SWEET), then found a pair of black flats for work. So I am still only at $59... Greedy me, I wanted one more pair of shoes... FOUND them, tan/cream flats for work. WIN WIN WIN!!! read more

There was no one around to help me The store was not supplied with a good selection And they are hard to find in the shopping strip read more

This is a very Stepfordesque DSW, but then again, it is Scottsdale. In fact, this DSW is kind of freaking me out a little bit. I visited this unit on an emergency basis--I flew all the way to Phoenix for our user conference and discovered, when I arrived, that the only shoes I brought were the ratty tennies I had on to walk the dog that morning before bolting for the airport. I had 1 hour to find dress shoes and with a little sleuthing on Yelp found this huge, seemingly spanking new mall complex and what I *thought* was a brand new DSW. I mean, the whole damn complex looks like it was just built, and the DSW is one of the nicer ones I've been in, very orderly, spacious, and filled with brand names like the Florsheim cap-toes with non-torture features (they're some kind of sub-brand within Florsheim with all kinds of bouncy cushioning and support to keep your feet from turning into hooves, but I'm too lazy to go see what the sub-brand is). Another review (there are three listings for this DSW on Yelp, so it's not only another review but another listing) mentions that it has already been remodeled. I mean, there is no way this store is more than about 2 years old, and it could pass for opened last month. They got nothing else to do that they remodel stores that have only been open 2 years? Sheesh. Shouldn't they be building more DSW's further out into the desert, in order to achieve their goal of growing Greater Phoenix out to the Arizona state line in every direction by 2012? Anyhow, compared to the DSW in the Union Square district in San Francisco, this one is so clean, tidy, and untrafficked in the middle of the day you could eat scrambled eggs off the floor without picking up anything untoward. read more

This particular location is great. It is always well stocked (literally thousands of shoes) and they seem to turn over new shoes more often than other DSW's. I'm a shoe addict a bargain fiend so this place is paradise. I have never left empty handed and on several occasions I have scored shoes that retail for over $200, for around $50. There are mirrors everywhere and bags placed all over the store to help you carry your newfound twin treasures. Oh and the rewards program rocks, they incent you for buying shoes and my last order I had $30 off in certificates. AWESOME! read more

I love this particular DSW. I always find great shoes, nice quality and good prices.

I am a shoe addict. I also appreciate a good bargain. Whenever I am bored and have a little time on my hands, I like to take a walk through DSW. I think it is kind of like playing "dress up". You can try on anything and everything. Such fun! This location is one of the better ones I have visited. It is well-organized, and the stock turns over regularly. It is one of those hit or miss places - I will either leave with nothing or with an obnoxious amount of new footwear. You just never know. It has a fairly large clearance section as well - if you have the patience to look, bargains can often be found. Definitely sign up for their rewards program - you will receive coupons regularly - yay! Happy hunting! read more

Despite the rows upon rows of shoes here, I have a really hard time finding anything whenever I come here. I think the prices aren't that great ( I find the same brands at TJ MAXX for cheaper). If I'm lucky I will end up with a fairly good deal out of the clearance section. Call me crazy but I refuse to spend more than $50-60 bucks for a pair of shoes at a self-service joint! Staff here seems a little odd as well. One girl at my most recent visit appeared totally annoyed by customers & the 2 guys working seemed totally out of place like they should be working at Best Buy or Target, not a shoe store. Overall, I'll stop by a few times a year to check it out, but it's not a must for me. read more

If Imelda Marcos visited AZ on vacation, this is where she would spend her time and money. DSW claims to have over 2000 styles on display at any given store. I believe them. The aisles are packed with hundreds of shoes. DSW goes the extra mile to make shoe shopping comfortable. You are never more than a few steps from a bench or chair where you can sit to try on your finds. They have mirrors everywhere so shoppers don't have to wander around looking. They place large shopping bags on hooks throughout the store to make carrying easier, and the service is always fast and friendly. Maybe Imelda would just move in. read more

First time at this location. Found 3 pairs of shoes. Happy with the store and the customer service I received. A++

DSW aka De Shoes Work! My personal motto for DSW shoes from my favorite location. I look at DSW as the dream glam closet I never had. Isles of shoes for every setting, wedding, date night, casual wear, fitness and much more. Since I am only dreaming I sure do enjoy my time while I am there. Trust me this is a not a shopping dream you wanted to go away. The moment you walk in the door your hit with a display of newly stock seasonal shoes along with a tiny jewelry section and large selection of hand bags to the right. This is one store I actually do walk down every isle to make sure I am not missing anything since I may feel the need to add something different to my personal closet. Plus there are often times I find sales that are not at the back of the store but mixed in with the non clearance items. The store is always neatly stocked. The shoes sizes are displayed properly to help you find your size. The staff on deck is not only kind but extremely helpful. If you don't find a shoe size in the store they have iPads readily available to search online for you. There is even an island in the middle of the store for anyone making purchases with a credit card for speedy checkout. Though I do have to say I have NEVER waited in a long line at this store. They have the service part on point. My last experience was yesterday. My Sunday shopping at 11am started here. If your'e in search for this summers hottest wedges. I happen to walk right past the wedges at the front door thinking they were not really my style. As I tried on a pair of really cute wedges I asked a lady who happened to be the store manager if she liked them on me. I explain to her how I wanted them to look. She asked me my size and told me she was bringing me a suggestion. Turns out she brought me the ones from the front of the store I walked right past. Feeling bad she took the time to get me these wedges she highly recommends I figured I might as well try them on. Let me tell you these Franco Sarato's are my new favorite brand. These wedges not only are so comfortable they are too cute. Talk about judging a book by it's cover. I thanked her dearly for her help as she really made my day. Now the problem I have is I have to go back in buy them in every color. #GirlProblems To those who may be ballin on a budget I have to say either make sure your signed up to get coupons. Trust me these come in handy and you'll even get a $5 gift certificate on your birthday. Be sure not to miss the back of the store where they have an additional savings on sale items ranging from different discounted percentage ranges based on the color coded pricing SKU. I will say the best part of this shopping dream is you will always score. The worst part is you can't claim DSW as your closet. #GirlProblems read more

I'm about as cliche as it gets when it comes to being a guy and hating shoe shopping. It's boring. I only buy footwear based on necessity. I have virtually no style. I can't stand funky looking sneakers and usually end up with plain and simple black dress shoes. I also try to buy the cheapest pairs possible. This is what makes DSW perfect for me. There's actually a good selection of men's shoes. There are plenty of athletic, hiking, dress, casual and flip-flop styles to pick from. Many of the designs are simple and conservative. When I walk in looking for a pair, I almost leave finding something that I am happy with. The random coupons they send in the mail if you join their club are also quite nice. read more

I wasn't even in the market for shoes when I walked in that store, as I was just stopping by to say hello to a friend who works there whom I hadn't seen in a long time. Lucky me! Upon entering the store, I was greeted by a cheerful crowd of rather enthusiastic employees who surprised me with a random $ 50 dollar gift card to be applied towards my purchase. You better believe I found a pair of shoes and thanks to the gift card, my purchase ended up not costing me a single penny! Woo hoo! I must say I was quite impressed with the vast selection of shoes for both men and women, ranging from casual, dressy and fitness. The service was most extraordinary and I think I may have to start a shoe fetish based on this first experience alone. read more

This store has just gone through a fantastic remodel. The interior used to be pretty bland with rows of shoes displayed on top of cardboard boxes; very much going with the warehouse vibe. The newly remodeled store goes for more of a boutique look. The walls now have an exposed brick look to them, the industrial ceilings are black with a large chandelier hanging in the entry. The clearance racks are now hidden behind curtains at the back of the store. Maybe it's the softer lighting, but it even seems like the shoe selection is a bit hipper. The men's section looks like it might be smaller, but the missing shoe selection has been replaced by a seating area and flat-screen TV tuned to sports. Call me crazy, but me thinks this may be a welcome change for some male patrons whose female companions plan on combing through aisle after aisle of cute shoes. I don't know if it has anything to do with the remodel, maybe they moved out a lot of stock to make way for the hipness, but they were kind of lacking in their boot selection. I feel like the place still had knee-high boots last summer, so it's kind of weird that they'd have such a minimal selection when it's still stinkin' cold outside. read more

By far the best shoe outlet I've been to. Really wish they would come to Canada! At any location I've visited around the US, they have a great selection of casual shoes, heels, formal/bridal shoes, runners, sandals - you name it! They sell a range of brands for women - Michael Kors, Tahari, Nike, Nine West...the list goes on. The store is well-organized with attentive staff. If you're a regular or visiting the area, be sure to get a rewards card. They will track your points and coupons, and will usually give you the discount after the expiry date when you're an out-of-town customer. read more
