Employees were helping others but over the course of 20-30 minutes no one even said, "Hey, we'll be with you in a bit," while running to and fro to grab shoes. It wasn't so busy that I wasn't seen. Had someone just recognized my presence, I would have waited. Not a big deal. Will not return.

Wow, I am struck by the fact that the entire chain gets poor reviews. I have had good experiences…read moreeach time I have dealt with one or another of the stores. I took two trips to the area pre-Covid and each time had a successful experience. The shoes were expensive, but now I buy from this family-owned small chain online and have never had a problem. They have very good sales and if you are concerned about a large outlay upfront, they do take one of those pay by month apps, so you can enjoy your shoes without breaking the bank short-term. That said, what I like about the place is the large variety of designer shoes they keep in stock at each store. The staff is not ultra-friendly. My very first time there, in Westport, I spied a gorgeous pair of Pliners for around $600. I asked for my size and it wasn't in back. So, as always happens, I checked the size of the floor sample and it was my size (6). I tried that one on and it was perfect, so I asked them to find the matching shoe. With a bit of grumbling, they did, got the box, and then, I said quite innocently, since this is a sample that presumably may have been tried on, is there any small discount for buying it? Nope! End of discussion. Since these were quite unique (black suede with marcasites) and the soles looked perfect, unworn, I went ahead and paid full price. My second trip was to the Greenwich store about 18 months later. There I got a friendly reception and found another stunning pair of Jon Joseph shoes (grey velvet with leather tassels), paid full price and was quite happy. After that, I watched (and still watch) for sales online. Their entire inventory is available that way and one can take advantage of the dozen or so brick/mortar stockpiles. They almost always take 20-40% off. The shoes are usually made in Europe and will last a lifetime (I have Pliners that are 30 years old and wear them weekly, just once having them re-soled; they are all made in Italy, thank the gods). They even now carry my latest obsession, beautiful, comfortable, affordable Marc Fisher shoes! Shoe-Inn ships immediately, they have great and responsive customer service if you call or email them and the quality is incomparable. So, if I were to go back, I would still brave the frosty reception here and there, would go when they have clearances, preferably, and appreciate the fact that these shoes are not only fashionable and beautiful, they are a sound investment, foot-ware-wise. (Far left Pliner pair are over 30 years old!)

Or they OVER buy on a trend from the 2000's....There's no variety. There's nothing that makes this place worth a visit. Most of the staff is just as uninspiring. They offer a halfhearted greeting when you walk in, but beyond that, they're completely disengaged--mostly standing around with their arms crossed, looking like they'd rather be anywhere else. Which makes sense because they barely make minimum wage, which is concerning considering how much the owner walks away with year after year. I probably wouldn't be inspired to help customers either. It's pretty obvious that the owner of this store couldn't care less about their employees--or their customers, for that matter. Unless you're looking for outdated clothes and indifferent service, I'd recommend shopping elsewhere. Go shop at the family owned business Richard's in Greenwich much better selection, happy employees and OWNERS!

Every year Santa comes and kids line up from across the country to sit on his lap and tell them what they want. In Darien, that could be a new Canada goose jacket (available at DSS) or a new pair of Nordic skis (available at DSS). Maybe even a new Range Rover (not available but DSS can order it). And for the adults who brave the intense December line to catch a glimpse of the big guy, they setup a makeshift bar (no charge of course) with Bloody Mary's, Mimosas, Beer, Wine, all the fixings.
