    Whew weeee!! This…read morelocation was something to talk about. I have been dying to get in this place for years but always on a tight schedule to get elsewhere. This was a Lion and Tigers and Bears OH MY situation! It's quite crowded in here. Not cluttered but crowded. They have soooo much stuff and it's all in order. This place could be 2-3 floors easy!! I saw all of my fav brands at great prices. They have a huge selection of high-end wear for a great price. They have a huge selection of summer, spring and winter wear. The cosmetics and body care... chef's kiss!! They have everything in every color/ scent/ size!! Cool accessories, luggage galore, etc. I did not take a gander at the shoes as I had a show nearby to attend. I bought 2 gorge blouses and a short sleeve loose fitting denim blue top. I will revisit very soon for some more shopping greatness.

    Lots of great "stuff" and finds....if you have the patience to look around and dig for it…read more This Nordstrom Rack is loaded with brand name products, designer clothing, jewelry, household goods and all at decent prices. The only gripe I have specifically with this location.....is that it is waaayyy too cluttered-- overstocked with just stuff everywhere! And, let's talk about organization to make things easy to find....forget it. It sort of reminds me of Filene's Basement (on Connecticut Ave) from back in the day or a " sub high-end" Thrift store. If you park on the street nearby this store, you better load up your parking meter to the max.... Because you're going to need the time to roam around this place. Note: There is no parking lot or garage..... so you don't want your parking meter to expire because we all know parking tickets in DC is like paying rent or the amount of a one night hotel stay. lol Other than this, not a bad shopping experience here. There's something for everyone when it comes to looking for bargain clothing that's from designer labels and semi on trend. One plus I will say about this Nordstrom Rack location, is that they carry a large selection of men's business and casual clothing. This location carries tons of business suits, dress shirts, ties and business casual slacks-pants. I think the reason for this is because this location is centrally located in the downtown DC area and business district that is primarily surrounded by law offices, lobby firms, consulting firms and federal government agencies. You often don't find this at a lot of Nordstrom Rack and bargain clothing, places like Marshall's/TJMaxx around the DMV. There are also tons of men's athletic shoes, casual sneakers, great running shoes and dress shoes. In all, you can't go wrong shopping here. Although, the Pentagon City location is more my speed. This location is not all bad. Lots of good finds and decent customer service. Just have a little patience and time to roam around this treasure trove!

    How to lose a customer of 15-20 years…read more For almost 20 years, Fleet Feet, both in DC and more recently in Asheville, North Carolina, has been where I shop for sneakers twice a year. To save on wear, I buy 2-3 pairs at a time (costing about $400-600 a visit depending on number, socks and arch supports, etc.) and rotate wearing them throughout the week. Today I brought this pair of Brooks back to DC to ask what could be done. I've probably worn them at most 15 days since buying them in mid-last month; the soles are delaminating. An annoyingly passive sales clerk began dancing around the question offering nothing. I eventually abbreviated his babble about normal wear and tear by observing that it doesn't sound like the store can do anything as just over 30 days have passed since the purchase of several pairs. No exchange, no assistance with the manufacturer, no suggestions for repair? I observed that this doesn't seem like normal wear and that its disappointing to see how quickly these expensive shoes are coming apart and how little can be done. His only response was a dismissive "Have a nice day" delivered in a mocking tone. I turned and left the store quietly for the last time in my life without punching him and without responding. some suggestions for better customer service: When your store has a no refund or exchange strict policy, even in the face of defective goods, you should at least provide your customer with contact information to reach out to the manufacturer. If you work in a shoe store, it might be good to be aware of shoe repair places, or glues that might be tried, or to confirm that there are really no glue solutions that could be tried. In other words, know your products and offer some modicum of assistance, even if it's not likely to answer the customer's immediate request. Don't be snide when you are denying service to someone who has been a regular customer and who has clearly brought in a shoe that is not behaving as it should. Not sure where I'll send my $1200/year in purchases now. But I will find a place to remove that revenue from Fleet Feet, and I will let people know of my experience there.

    I wanted to reach out to you personally with hope that this information is transmitted to the…read moreExecutives, and Managers that operate the ALLEN EDMONDS Shoe Stores. I recently retired in 2019 from a Company that pride itself on "taking care of the customer" from reiterating often to personnel that the Customers pay our bills and we must remember to Answer the Phones on the "First Ring" with a smile to a proper Greeting and Handshake in person. I find myself nowadays really Grading, Evaluating, & Judging personnel in all Retail Stores form the Strip Malls to the Big Malls on Customer Service since it's buried in my blood. Yesterday I happen to visit your ALLEN EDMONDS STORE located in the DEL AMO FASHION CENTER MALL-21540 Hawthorne Blvd. #405B , Torrance, Ca. 90503 (Date of Visit  Feb.4,2025 TIME -Afternoon) *Store Manager -Regi Ross Rayfield We walked in the store due to the attraction of the shoes I witness in the storefront and immediately notice that first of all we were the only customers present and Mr. Regi Ross Rayfield was totally focused in the corner of the store taking care of paper work and bagging some small items. Not ONCE did he LOOK UP , SMILE OR ACKNOWLEDGED us while we roam around viewing for about 5-10 mins. I stated to my wife this guy must realize we are here viewing the shoes I don't understand what is problem is. So finally has I finally made it a point to move closer to the area that he was "glued " to he finally made eye contact and I stated to him Hello I was wondering if you were going to acknowledge me. So his response was ,while still walking away like he was soo busy I DON'T RESPOND BECAUSE PEOPLE USUALLY JUST COME IN AND THEY JUST WANT TO WALK AROUND AND VIEW OUR SHOES . I did not respond to him after that comment and continue to walk around and at the end of viewing I ask him for a business card and left the store. Now all that time from start to finish we were the only customers in the store. I told my wife this "takes the cake" that is no way to communicate to customers at all and I can"t believe he is a manager. If I was in charge he would no longer have that title and he would be retrain in Customer Service or simply fired. His attitude and demeanor really told me that is not Customer Oriented at all and this is how he operates. Waiting on someone from Corporate to reach out to me.

I just had a very poor experience with customer service, as I explained that my last five purchases of casual boots/shoes were delivered with very poor shoe laces. The lady went on to tell me that since I used the shoes, the shoe laces were not Allen Edmond's fault. The product is going down hill in this area, almost as fast as the customer service.
