    Everything was payed for I work long hours and Christmas shopping has became difficult so I had to do it last minute.

    The service sucked. I was browsing around the store for Christmas presents, and the employees noticed me looking around. They called ESI security into the store as the employees became territorial and walked very close to me. These people not only judged me, but it became very uncomfortable. The employees made it very noticeable and didn't try to disguise it. It's very rude to judge someone just because I wanted to browse around. I'm not sure if skin tone or nationality played a part in this, but I left with four pairs of shoes--and I'm never coming back! I do not recommend this place at all.

    A lot of options, but was not able to find a pair of practical women dress shoes in my size, I just wanted a pair of black dress flats, with arch support, wide width, and a round toe box. Even checked out the men's section but they don't sell men's shoes smaller than 8 it appears (I would wear an 7-7.5 men's size). Ended up going to Footlocker across the street and finding a pair. Staff was nice. They had a massive selection for those who are not looking for 'sensible' but want style.

    Nice selection, reasonable prices and good customer service. They have a good selection of footwear available for the whole family. Well kept and organized store.

    Bandage couldn't even cover the blister!

    I bought sandles for my daughter on Friday. When she tried them on, she had socks on. They felt good. When she wore them later that day she got SEVERE blisters. I tried to return them on Monday but could not because she had worn them outside. Who the heck wears sandles just inside? This company needs to change this policy! Now I'm out $60. Shame on you DSW!!!!!

    20-30-50-70 Percent OFF in the Clearance section??!! I'm in Shoe HEAVEN!! Wahooo! I drive up from Carson City to this DSW store that is located by 'Total Wine' across from Target on South Virginia Street. When I come here I am usually on a mission looking for comfortable work shoes or something FUN for Summer and when I do, I start by looking up and down the aisles then inevitably end up in the clearance section where I always find at least one pair that comes home with me. My closet has shoes hidden all over or at least I think I'm hiding them LOL with deals I have found from the treasure trove off the clearance racks of DSW. LOVE getting the many different styles from BOCs, Born, Earth Origins, Naturalize, Clarks, Merrell and A2 to name a few of the AMAZING brands they carry or how about Roxy, Madden Girl, Steve Madden, Sam Edelman or Kelly & Katie - Yeppers this gal is definitely in Shoe HEAVEN! Anddd occasionally when I drag my hubby along he even finds a pair or two for his growing shoe collection too. Be sure to sign up for their DSWs rewards program so you get receive their handy-dandy coupons in the mail and email plus get points each time you buy shoes that add up for future purchases. Staff is always friendly and helpful without that pushy, follow you around the store over the top but there when you need them anddd if you need to order a pair delivered to your home, they can help with that too. Definitely check out the clearance section by popping in DSW on South Virginia you'll be happy you did and so will your feet LOL. Happy Yelping Everyone!

    Only 2 customers and they wouldn't be bothered with us.

    It's kind of crazy how each time I come in here it's a different experience, today was so much better than a few nights ago. I was greeted upon entry with my return she was very helpful crediting my account back immediately. It's kind of crazy how it's night and day with customer service. But overall today was a positive experience!

    I went shopping with a friend during one of DSW's better clearance sales and she got 5 pairs of shoes for about $100.

We are very loyal customers. Quality/Quantity - Here for the Wax and Watch event DIG. My first time and what an amazing event. Fundraising for so many nonprofits, see pictures. Also sponsored by Fifty Fifty Brewing Co; I had a few too many beers, too good of a time. I also found out about Fifty's Grand opening at RPM, which we also supported and attended the next day, see other Yelp Review. Non alcoholic drinks were also available. Too lazy to have brought our equipment for the wax. Plus Mt Rose gives us each 4 free waxes that I rarely use up. Raffle - We did NOT win. Atmosphere - Clean and organized location. Love the NV art on the side of the building/in the parking lot. Cool! See pictures. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 7pm and on Sundays from 10am to 6pm. Small parking lot, but because we came in off peak (weird) hours, it is rarely an issue for us. And today we got lucky as the lot was full but a car gave us his space. Service - The team is so welcoming and friendly. This is the #1 reason we are loyal customers. Events available - See website. Again, my first but NOT last time that I will attend an event. We will probably come back Sunday for the Mt Rose Passholder Spring Sale. Price - Expensive, but worth the quality, service, and culture. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1973. And thank you for also giving 1% to not-for-profit workers "to defend the earth." And having programs that raise awareness of environmental and social issues. My favorite program is Worn Wear. You can either sell Patagonia your used clothes or trade them in so they can fix it. I believe that reusing is better than recycling. Furthermore, they give you credit ranging from $15 to $150.

Birkenstocks - Fully in stock, but rarely on sale. Next time they are on sale for $99.99, I will buy two pairs. And on their website they do not even carry the Honolulu Birkenstocks... Woven Loafer - Finally found one I liked at Dillards, except for the color. There were NO woven loafers here at all. Just ordered 4 shoes from DSW, as they sell the same/similar brands for less. Will update if needed. They also have a slightly larger online selection. Atmosphere - Good size, clean organized. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 8pm and until 6pm on Sundays and Mondays. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Self service. Price - Reasonable. Birkenstocks have price control, so it almost doesn't matter where you buy them from.

I believe his name is Aaron (longish black hair) because he is such a fantastic hype man! He is always bubbly and enthusiastic, and makes me feel so good about my purchases. I generally dread small talk interactions at check-outs, but he makes it genuinely enjoyable. The store itself is great too. If you like to shop at places like Marshall's, Sierra, TJ Maxx, etc., this is definitely the best version of them. I appreciate that the clothes are actually organized, and they have one of the best shoe selections of any store. The prices are generally good and reasonable, but the clearance prices are often extreme deals with the caveat of very limited selection (obviously though, since it's clearance). They also have a really good selection of skin care, hair care, and make up. Those are the discounts I often end up appreciating the most!
