So many great dresses, shoes, accessories and summery items. The prices were reasonable and the staff was helpful and friendly despite being very busy. Looking them up on Yelp, I see they have a few locations. I used to live at wind n sea and I wish this store was there when I did. I'll definitely come back when I need an outfit for an event or just to peruse.

She grabbed the one on the shelf which was exactly her size. At the time a male sales approached us and he said "can I get you any size?" I said to him, she's already trying on this one from the shelf. He replied "Please don't try it on if it's not her size, she might stretch out the shoe." I checked the sandal and told him "This is her size." Then he stayed quiet. My mom told told me there's a sign outside says 25% discount. I asked him and he said "It's only that particular band (I think it's called Earthlink) and they are all mixed in the shelves." When he told me this, he said it in a tone that's really disrespectful. Like talking to a kid. I spoke in Mandarin to my mom and told her this guy is very rude. Even though she liked the shoes, we do not need to buy them here. Overall, this place does have good quality or lets just say expensive shoes. However, the service was really bad and whoever that salesperson is needs to work on his attitude towards customers.

I purchased over $500 of shoes from here (4 pairs) in one day. I usually dont spend so much but the…read moresalesgirl is good here. I wanted the shoes too but after taking them home and walking for one mile in what was supposedly the "walking shoes," I had blisters that actually scabbed and bled the following day. I realize that this is my fault for buying walking shoes that were obviously uncomfortable but to my defense I had only the stores 20 X 10 ft space to walk around and make a good determination in. Anyways, moral of the story is that I tried to return them the next day (with receipt to the same salespeople) and they didn't take the uncomfortable brand new shoes back. It sucked because i bought them for europe and then I was sent away from the store (that I had spent $500 at the previous day) with shoe inserts and a "sorry, we don't do returns if you wore them at all." It was the same salespeople from the previous day and they literally didn't care at all that I had large blisters.. BUT when I was spending $$$ they could have been my best friends... Oh sales people... I just think people should know this BEFORE buying shoes from this store. Their shoes are perfectly fine but their policy is plain rude. If I spend a ton of money there, they can afford to take the loss on one $70 pair of walking shoes even if that can't happen with every customer return (it's a small store). Anyways, if you find something here, chances are it will be online AND at nordstom for the same price and you can actually return them if they're uncomfortable.

Well, all three of us left with the most comfortable summer sandals. I got a beautiful purse also and my aunt a gorgeous summer dress. The service was amazing especially sine there were only two sales people there but they took care of us and all the other customers very well. The three of us tried on a lot of shoes. The shoes are hand made in the U.S. they are not cheap but well worth the money. They give discounts to locals. So give this place a try, and support them for your next pair of comfy shoes.

Since I had visited this location a few times over the years, I decided to stop in. I'm so glad I did. Kevin was standing near the front and greeted me right away with a big smile. He was incredibly helpful in helping me find exactly the type of shoes I had in mind. What I really appreciated was how friendly and professional he was. There was absolutely no pressure, just genuine help. My time is very limited, so great service like that really makes a difference. I ended up purchasing the pair he recommended, and I'm very happy with them. Because of the wonderful service and the great comfort fit, I highly recommend coming to this location. Also, many people think DSW only sells shoes, but they actually offer so much more. Backpacks, purses, socks, bags, and other accessories. It's definitely worth taking a look around

The lady who was working the evening of Dec 12, 2025 was so rude. And the worst part is she was…read morerude when I was last in the store maybe 1-2 years ago! Your website is offering 25% off and when I mentioned it to her she misrepresented your company and said I had to be a VIP member. I was holding my phone up so she could see the QR code related to the offer and she was still saying I had to sign up to be a VIP member. I asked her where did she see that and she says "You don't see that big ole circle that says VIP?" I corrected her to let her know that was related to a free shipping offer on the DSW website. Hesitantly, she rang up my shoes and asked to see the QR code so she could finally scan it. Sure enough the shoes were an extra 25% off. The transaction is now complete and she just slides the shoes across the counter towards me. I had to ask her for a bag. I don't know if that is your store's protocol but it is rude! A customer shouldn't have to ask for a bag when buying an item like a pair of shoes. I can't believe that rude woman still works there and even more, I can't believe she's still rude! I believe her name is Andi. Terrible terrible customer service. I am inclined to contact DSW's corporate office.

If you can get past all that and make your way to the back wall where the 50 percent sale items are hanging, you'll be alright. However, half off in this case means instead of $300, it's $150. If their stuff wasn't so damn cute, I'd give them one star for their absurd prices, but I've been told by my best friend, the fashion expert living in London, that $300 is actually cheap for quality, boutique-style clothing.

I went to pick it up and it's a very nice men's store. I told the employee how thankful I could get this because I wanted this style for my husband's birthday. Then he offered to put it in a box with a bow. I would definitely recommend this clothing shop for great brands and excellent customer service.

Highly recommend both the shop and working with John if you want top-notch service for a big event!

The Nordstrom Rack website showed two cute Kate Spade airtag fobs for $19.99 in stock (red heart or silver star) in this location, much cheaper than anything I was seeing listed at the Carlsbad Kate Spade or Coach outlets or even at Macy's. I couldn't find them at first in person (they're not with the purses and wallets). But there was almost no checkout line today - and the cashier knew exactly where the key chain/charms are. It's nylon and not leather in fact - but my new key fob is adorable and just what I wanted at a good price.
