I can't say I've ever paid much attention to my shoes, other than my running shoes, which I've…read morealways bought at JackRabbit in Morristown (I think the store has been re-named "FleetFleet"). A few exceptions to that rule come to mind: Decades ago, when I was going to meet my birth mother for the 1st time, I wanted a good pair of black shoes. I went to the Bridgewater Commons Mall (across the street from where DSW is now) and went to a store that seemed sufficiently high-end, although the name of it escapes me now. I spent a lot of money on a pair of black shoes, and I guess the impression I made was positive, although I don't remember that the shoes themselves lasted very long, despite the high price. Or that they were all that comfortable. Another time, I was going on a job interview, and I needed a good pair of black shoes. I remembered going to the Woodbury Commons Mall in upstate NY when I was going on a 1st date and wanted some good shirts. My old friend swore by Woodbury Commons, and we went up at night, just before closing time, and I got some decent shirts for not a lot of money. The romance didn't last too long, but I still have the shirts. So, remembering that, I went up to Woodbury on a Sunday afternoon (minus my old friend) to buy some shoes. Big mistake! The parking lot was a migraine-inducing nightmare (I actually did leave the mall that day with a migraine), and the shoe store was utter chaos, with no salesclerk in sight, and what seemed to be a rabid, riotous mob grabbing up shoes indiscriminately. Basically, you were on your own. I bought a pair of ill-fitting shoes (I guess the days where a salesclerk measures the size of your foot with that big metal device are long gone...they definitely are at Woodbury Commons, in any event!) that caused my feet real discomfort for a year or 2 and then disintegrated. (PS- I didn't get the job.) DSW? My old friend swears by them and comes often to browse through row after row of shoes. Often, I'll accompany him, bored out of my mind, although when a Borders existed on this same location, and I used to work in nearby Piscataway, I'd come here often on my lunch hour to browse through books and CDs. So, this huge, cavernous warehouse does bring back some bittersweet memories. I came for myself once, when I needed to buy...you guessed it...black shoes. I don't remember that there was a lot of sales help available, but I did find a pair in my size that looked acceptable. The price didn't seem all that cheap to me, but then I'm not really up on what the market will bear when it comes to black shoes. When I went up to the counter to purchase the shoes, the guy ringing me up was pretty aggressive about me giving him my email address. He didn't get it, but it left an unpleasant aftertaste (although I've gone through the same thing at virtually any Barnes & Noble bookstore I've patronized). The shoes were ok, but...once again...they didn't last all that long. A few years ago, at my current job, I had to once again purchase a pair of black shoes. At that point, I went onto the Amazon website, put in my shoe size, and bought a pair of cheap black shoes, leaving it up to chance whether they would be any better or any worse than any other pair of black shoes I've bought over the past few decades. They arrived quickly at my doorstep, they were actually pretty comfortable and fit well, and I'm still wearing them, several years later. Cheap doesn't necessarily mean worse. Which also doesn't necessarily mean I've sworn off DSW if an emergency occurs, or I've been locked out of Amazon for some reason. Amazon worked for me at least once when it comes to shoes, but I can't really say buying shoes on the website is the smartest or most economical way to go about it. Seems a better idea is to actually hold the shoes in your hands and then try them on and walk around the carpet a bit before you purchase them. And DSW does have row after row of shoes, from the front area where Borders used to display their "sale" books, to the back, where I used to purchase DVD's and CD's back in the day. DSW has never been very crowded when I've been there, which is a relief, especially when I recall the ravening hordes at the Woodbury Commons. My old friend swears by DSW and their prices (although I have to say-- some call my old friend a cheapskate; the more magnanimous might call him frugal, a wary consumer with a limited budget seeking a bargain). As for me? Let me put it this way-- I'd definitely come here before braving again the nightmarish maelstrom of some crowded outlet like Woodbury Commons. But Amazon might still be my first choice.

The Container store can contain itself with its ridiculous outrageous prices. You can get almost everything they sell with a few exceptions anywhere else around line for a fraction of the cost. Bought a divided hamper there one day only to find it at 1/3 the price at an ALDI !!!can you believe it? They forced out the World Market because they tripled their rent.

I used to love this store because of all the imported food they had also some of the product line was superb as well (OK so a little Pier Oneish but a little bit nicer and a better price point.) The pretentious little French(Asian) bakery is overrated and a bit pricey you're better off just going across the street to WF. Saksofffifth total waste of time a lot of junk that's ugly and over priced that you wouldn't even pay $ 20for online if you wanted it. Nordstrom rack has a few deals to be found if you're a stealth shopper. Some of their candles aren't bad they have a knock off brand identical to the Volcano candles at a great price and the same cobalt blue container with the steel top. It's a better place for women to shop as they have better deals for them for men forget it anything that's worthwhile . Mightt as well just go to the real Nordstrom store and buy it there because they'll sucker you into paying regular price for something that is hideous in color or design. Did manage to get a nice pair of Magnani men's shoes during the pandemic but that's only because I think they thought the world was coming to an end so all department stores were giving incredible deals lol (well not really) but you know what I mean.

The manager was about as unfriendly as someone could be and was being overly difficult with the return. I gave the original order number, which should have been sufficient. He had to know the date of the order, see the original order confirmation (all I could find is the shipment confirmation), check the price, and card I used to pay. I ended up having to open the order in the Sketchers app. Then he gave me a lecture about needing to be able to show the email with the order, which I did not appreciate at all. If it is so important, Sketchers needs to provide it with the shipment. I don't recommend shopping here if you need to do a return and this experience does not make me want to shop Sketchers anytime soon.

Their shoes and bags are of really good quality; and if it's been a few years since your last visit, stop by to notice how much they have improved. Just prior to walking into ALDO, I subjected myself to the chaos that is the Macy's shoe department. The customer service, staffing, and cleanliness at Macy's continues to suffer. ALDO, however, is able to provide their customers with a much better overall experience. I was assisted by two associates on my last visit, Lisa and Jackson. Jackson checked for my shoe size in the back and returned quickly enough to ensure I remained interested. Lisa greeted me immediately when I walked in the door and was full of suggestions, as she followed my direction and taste in accessories -never did I feel cramped or pressured. And what I've also noticed is how sharp their men's shoes are. They have a real classic look. Shopping for shoes and other accessories shouldn't feel like a chore or a long drawn out process. I know people may be initially surprised when they hear my newest bag is from ALDO, but yes quality is quality and it's GORGEOUS. I can't wait to see what their fall collection looks like.

But there were bathrooms in other stores she could use! That doesn't help when she has to go now! Perhaps the managers need a refresher course in customer service, as well as how to present yourself in the workforce.
