This review is specifically about the bra fitting service. I highly recommend that anyone who wears…read morea bra go here and get fitted. Did you know that 80% of the people who wear bras wear the wrong size? The woman who helped me and sized me and found me the perfect size and style, Diana, is AMAZING! I had no idea how off my size was and she fitted me with the proper size. When I tell you I felt like a new woman, I am not exaggerating. My tops looked instantly better, I got almost an inch of lift, and my posture was much better. It was a total game changer, and now I will be going every year to get sized and to purchase bras there. The prices for the bras are a bit $, but they are worth it. I will no longer buy cheap, ill-fitting bras after this experience. Diana was saying it is a good idea to get fit each year because your size can change over the years. She mentioned a year is a good rule of thumb because bras will start to wear as you wear them and wash them. She gave me proper instructions for washing and care. I fully believe this is an investment you should budget if you are able. I never knew that having a properly-sized bra could make a world of difference. Thank you, Diana, for your help and for being amazing!

However, the Natick store is great: not huge, but clean and organized, friendly ladies who are happy to check stock for you and they did a great job with my order that I did online and selected for curbside pick-up. I suppose I could have called from my car, but I also wanted to see what was in store that I may have missed online (and I do feel badly having someone run out to bring me something).

I have been looking for a store to do fittings since Lady Grace closed. My daughter is getting…read moremarried in May and the boutique where I bought my gown suggested Soma to me because I needed a strapless bra and they said they would fit me etc. I traveled quite a bit to get to the Natick Mall store and once there I was beyond disappointed. When I asked about fittings i was brought out back by a very young girl who clearly did not know how to measure or do a fitting. If I had not asked to wait while I took off my sweater/coat she would've measured me with it on. The measuring tape was held very loosely and I am guessing was about 2 inches at least too loose. The first bra she brought me was hanging off. I suggested a smaller band but instead she said a smaller cup. So that barely fit me. At this point I just gave up because she clearly did not know what she was doing. My younger daughter was with me as well and had the same experience. I would never suggest this store to anyone. Considering the prices they charge I would think the service would be much better. I should also mention I tried twice to make appointments for sittings online and never heard back so we tried walking in today. I would've been even more upset had we made an appointment and had this experience. Bottom line if you are looking for a true fitting and good service this is NOT the place! If I could give zero stars I would.

Very rude associates that work at this location. I walked in earlier today and was the only…read morecustomer in the store. None of the three associates that were in the store greeted me or asked if I needed any help. I had planned to make a purchase too but with the lack of assistance, I decided against it. However, I observed an older white woman walk in and then one of the older associates proceeded to say excuse me to me and then greet the lady and ask if she needed help. It was almost as if I didn't exist. My question is why work in customer service if you dislike interacting with different types of people? That makes no sense to me. I've reported this issue to customer service and hope they train their employees to be more culturally responsive and accepting.

DSW remodel in Sept 2025…read more All the sections have been moved around giving a more modern feel with added neon signs, fun painted floor decoration, seating area and more. - new customization station area on the right (tote bag $30; adult T $15; kid T $10; -$10 for printing/embroidery/engraving) - coffee station - computerized shoe sizing for kids and adults - 2 seating areas - donation box I guess there was a an augmented try-on mirror (see your shoes with different outfits) but I didn't see it? I think the floors need a good cleaning from the remodel because all the shoes had sandy grit on the bottom from previous try ons. I went during off prime hours so there was no line for checkout, let's hope it stays that way!

I have mixed feelings about this location, my #1 disappointment is how long it takes to checkout:…read more at 11:30am yesterday, there was only one cashier working. ONE, and it is the week before Hannukah/Christmas!! Behind the checkout area was a (female) supervisor of some sort who was sorting boxes, and while that could have been for something important as well, perhaps getting customers who are trying to pay moving through the line would have been better??!! Check the DSW.com site before you pay because there may be a deal/promo code: I looked and there was a $15 off code with a $49+ purchase; I'll take the $15.00 (get a screenshot for easier checkout). On the good side, the clearance shoes have been well-organized each time I have been in (although there was nothing for me yesterday). The disappointing thing was that I had a difficult time finding the shoes I was looking for - black heels. This must be the most basic heel (except for a nude color?), but the selection was minimal because a HUGE part of the womens section was boots. Boots are great and it is December in New England, but they don't work with a suit at work, a wedding, etc. Sure you can order from the website, but you may need to order 5-10 pairs to find just the right one (and then schlep them all back to the store for a return). Lots of parking right out front, but so-so inside.

I did my target run and timed it so I would be able to head over right afterwards. It's 10:10 right now, and there is nobody in the store. Lights off, and no movement inside. Several other patrons showed up hoping to get in, and we all realized no one is here despite being "open". No sign saying otherwise. This has happened multiple times, enough that I have started avoiding this store unless it's a very last minute errand. It's poorly run, and as I'm waiting for them to open, 5 other customers have shown up and left.

At this point, my shoes were hurting my performance more than if I were to run barefoot, so it was high time I got some new running shoes. Went in to the store and was immediately assisted by an amiable employee who walked me through a gait test and brought up three pairs of shoes for me to try. Used their test socks (yes, they have test socks!) that match the ones they sell in the store so you can try them on with your shoes. Got useful feedback and recommendations for other brands of shoes that would be a good fit if I wanted to run longer distances. All in all, I left the store with some new socks (Balega silver), a foot roller (Nano X), and a brand new pair of shoes (ASIC Gel-DS Trainer 24) for under $200. Money well spent, and will definitely go back when these shoes are dead!

Leaving everyone else just standing there waiting. No one offered any help until they were done with their current customer.

Very ineffective for customers like myself who know what we want and want to be in and out.

Each one of my feet actually has their own ZIP Code, so I have to pay taxes on them, unfortunately. And if you think my feet are massive, you should see the size of my socks. Luckily, DXL has always been there to supply me with some clown shoes that are not only comfortable, but they look good and don't break my bank account. So I tend to have a positive opinion of them. Until my last shopping experience. I had gotten a coupon in the mail for what seemed like a very generous offer. I don't remember what it is, but it was very good. Enough to get me into the store, which was their goal. The discount was for something like a flat amount off the total purchase, or maybe a percentage discount. Don't really remember but you get my drift I hope. After trying on a handful of shoes, I found three or four pairs that I was happy with and wanted to buy. I brought them to the front of the store, which was being staffed by a guy i had been chatting with my whole time there. He was very personable and friendly. Good guy. He rang up my order and went to use my coupon. Ladies and gentlemen, this is when the malarkey started to happen. I had naïvely assumed I would just be able to use the coupon on any shoes in the store. How stupid of me! DXL is a corporation, of course they'll be operating with predatory practices. There was more fine print on that stupid coupon than a contract with the devil. Not ONE of the shoes that I wanted to buy were eligible to be used under that coupon. After reading it, I realized that I had got sent a coupon for a discount for shoes in which probably half the stores inventory did not qualify for. Probably will not be returning to the store with business practices like that.
