    I haven't been to a DSW in a long time. For a shoe lover, I am guessing this must be heaven. Giant store...think Costco but they only sell shoes. There were a lot of staff, but they were just milling around the front desk and it was hard to get help.

    We went to DSW to look for some shoes for my daughter. We don't have a lot of selection in Hawaii so I thought we could get her a pair when we came up to California for our winter break. Last time we tried to find some soccer shoes but really had a tough time. We went to sporting stores but there wasn't really anything for women. I did my yelp search and found DSW. I've heard great things about this store. Sure enough when we arrive there, it's amazing. I never seen so many shoes in one store. The kids section was on the right of the store from the entrance. We quickly saw the different sport shoes arranged by brand. My daughter is really picky about her shoes. And she doesn't like to have the same kind of everyone else. I found a cute one for her but then she said three people in her grade level already have that shoe. So that was out. We looked further and she found one that she liked. Very different from what regular kids are wearing. She wanted pink converse high top. She tried on a size 1 but it was way too big so they we had her try on a 12 but it was too small. I didn't see a size 13 so I asked a worker. She was very helpful and polite. She helped us look it up to see if they had any in stock in back in a size 13. She said there were none. Daughter was bummed but then she found a different pair of Nike shoes. It was a pink and white one. She tried it on and liked it. She also found a pair of crocs so we got her that also. They had a great sale going on. Some of the sale items were 50% off the price. I'm a Hoka wearing person but it didn't look like they had any Hokas. They had a lot of pretty shoes but I don't really wear those anymore. Just pretty much wear my Hokas or slippers. Overall great store. I'm glad we got the chance to check it out. I hope to come back next time

    The adorable shoes they had in stock for my daughter!

    I just had a really great customer service experience at this store. I was greeted warmly. They had what I wanted in stock. I did a pick up order and made a purchase and everyone was very helpful. Prompt and thorough. I really appreciate great service thanks guys.

    I'm not new to the shoe game , I've got a closet that looks like it belongs to a small department store , and I still get that little thrill every time I walk into DSW. It's like adult candy land, but for feet. This place has everything. Need running shoes? Boom, Nike and Adidas in every style. Hunting for those perfect black heels that go with everything? Aisle 4's got you. I've even found designer brands here (hello Vince Camuto) for way less than what I'd pay anywhere else. The clearance section? A dangerous, magical place. I once walked out with two pairs of boots and a pair of sandals for less than what ONE pair would've cost at a regular store. I still think about that win. Staff's usually chill and helpful when you need a size, but otherwise they let you do your thing, which I love, because I'm the type to try on six pairs and pace back and forth deciding. No judgment, no pressure. Bonus points for the huge accessories section, cute bags, socks, insoles, and sometimes even luggage. If you love shoes, want variety, and appreciate a good deal, DSW is where it's at. Just don't go in a hurry... trust me, you'll be there awhile.

    I have been wanting to check this place out for years, finally stopped by to check them out with Wifey. The inside is huge, men's shoes on the left women's on the right. I would say that 70% of the store is dedicated to women's shoes "not that they don't have a lot men's shoe because they do" I am very particular about shoes because I have a bad back. The only brand I have found that works well for me is the ASICS Gel Contend series "without spending hundreds of dollars on special order podiatrist shoes. I have found these particular shoes at other outlets, but they only sell the "wide" and my foot is narrow. It appears that most shoe discounters will have the off sizes that really don't fit well and most people don't realize that. Well....... As it turns out this holds true for DSW as well BUT I was able to find Gel-contend 9's in my size and in a regular width So I'm super happy!! Wifey was also able to find a very nice pair of Clarks sandals. She is also very happy with her new sandals. DSW. has a reward program as well if you give them your phone number. I did and got a discount on our purchase. Overall the prices are a bit higher than other discount shoe stores but were still reasonable and they actually had the correct width shoe for my foot so......

    The Fix Kicks - Where the Sneaker Game Feels Like Home…read more I still remember the first time I stepped into The Fix Kicks in Santa Clara it was like walking into sneaker heaven. I opened that door and boom instant chills. I was surrounded by walls full of heat: Jordan 1s, Yeezys, Dunks, pairs I'd only ever seen on Instagram. Then I turned the corner and saw the Funko Pop wall, and I swear, it felt like I was in the middle of a dream. But here's where the story gets even better. It wasn't just the shoes or the collectibles it was the energy. The vibes. The people behind the counter weren't just employees they were sneakerheads like me. They greeted me like I'd been coming there for years, asked me what I was into, chopped it up with me like we were homies. From that very first visit, I knew this wasn't your average shop. This was family. Since then, I've bought kicks, sold pairs, and each time I leave, I walk out with a smile. Not just because of the shoes but because of how I was treated. They take care of you at The Fix Kicks. They're real ones. Fair prices, honest deals, no funny business just a team that truly loves what they do and puts their heart into every interaction. It's rare to find a spot like this. They've created more than just a store they've built a community. A place where sneaker culture is alive, respected, and celebrated. So if no one's told y'all yet: Fix Kicks, I'm giving you your flowers today. Thank you for the good vibes, the unforgettable experiences, and for always holding it down for sneaker lovers like me. Much love to the whole team y'all are legends.

They have a good selection of shoes both new and used. Only downsides is when you try to sale shoes they're offers are lower than what you think is fair or what other shoe stores would offer you, they don't offer more much more if you're interested in trading in for credit. They do have there $100 and under sales that have some good value, but for the most part all shoes are priced over market by a decent amount.

    A few years ago, my partner recommended this place when he bought both shoes and insoles. He gave…read moreme money to buy shoes and insoles myself, so I gave them a try. At first, the gait analysis and fitting felt gimmicky, but since I was playing with his money, I went through with it. I discovered, not surprisingly, that I needed a stability shoe. The staff brought out several styles in more than one size. I'm a little self-conscious about the size of my feet relative to my height, so whenever possible, I don't take their advice to go up a half size. (Hint: it's not usually possible.) I was surprised by how willing the staff was to bring out multiple shoes until I found the right pair for me. Even though they almost always have several customers and sometimes have a line, the staff members always come back to check in, but not intrusively like restaurant wait staff who ask "How is everything?" after you've just taken a bite. The insoles may seem like a gimmick at first, and they will set you back an additional $120. Since they're going to make them anyway, you should put them in your selected shoes. Like me, you will be sold! They are worth it. They will make your feet feel even better in your shoes! Finally, there's the VIP program, which gives you 10% off all purchases as well as between 5 and 15% cash back, depending on your level of membership. Note the recommended number of shoes purchased when selecting a membership level to find the level that's most cost-effective for you.

Times have changed.) Before I even got home from my day out, I received an email from Footwear Etc. stating that my sandals were ready for pick-up!!!

Even after my back (sciatica) surgery in December, I still feel discomfort and pain. With the Hoka shoes on, I felt my walk was so normal. And, for about $20 more than the New Balance, I am getting a very comfortable and reliable and very scientifically produced pair of shoes. On top of that, their designs are very cool and modern.

Kalevee- what a sweet, kind, hardworking and focused individual who was so patient and went back to the warehouse 3 times looking to find us the best fits and options. Another silent superstar who lead by example and his superior actions. E) We did pick up 3 pairs at great bargains. They applied the Nike app discounts as well. Thanks again Joshua. F) Loved the apparel section G) Line moved very quickly for a busy Saturday afternoon. Cons - none store related. Just a very tight parking lot with small spaces ( we had a big SUV) and crazy Tesla drivers speed racing vying for parking. Do please park 400 feet away and walk. This was a great shopping experience.
