Although there are several DSW shoe stores near my home, I keep coming back to this one! The…read moreinventory in stock is one of the largest in the DMV. Also, they are great sales and prices on their clearance items, which is fully stock with shoes that are more in style and in season; not as dated as some stores. I would agree with some of the comments here that at times when I come to the store, the customer service is a hit or miss. There are times when you are greeted as soon as you come through the door and/or someone ask if they may be of assistance. Other times, it can be crickets and the staff here seem to walk around as if they don't want to be bothered. lol. This does not bother me personally, but I can see how others may be offended, especially when you're spending your hard earned coins in this store. A little customer service, goes a long way.Other than this, I have no complaints. Between the huge selection that seems to be ever-changing and well stocked items for males needing larger sizes, this store is the place to shop for me. For males, there is a huge selection of male athletic, hiking/walking shoes, and dress to casual shoes as well. As for the females, there are plenty of shoes, variety of styles, and accessories (bags, belts, clothing, etc). as far as I can see across the floor of the store. You can't go wrong with this place...imho. Of course, I'll be back. And, I recommend For the conscious buying "shoe lover" --as they call it here looking to save a few dollars or buy shoes on the cheap.

My freshman year of high school I wore a blue and white matching scalloped set for the first day. I also wore a white, lace, body-con dress from there for homecoming. The following year I bought a darling blue grid dress. The neckline was a little low for me, but the incredible owner helped me to find a bandeau to make it school appropriate. A rivet on the dress unfortunately came off after the first wear, but the owner was kind enough to fix it - free of charge! I also wore a white dress with lace top and chiffon bottom to prom that year (underclassmen are required to wear short dresses). For my junior year I returned and left with an awesome collection of casual clothes. I had a cropped red sweater, beige turtleneck, and suede army green dress. All of this in addition to the gorgeous jewelry I've picked up over time there too. My mom can normally find something she likes there too and we have different styles and wear different sizes. Overall, Gossip provides a very personal experience. Even if you don't find something you like, you leave with the feeling that the owner truly and genuinely cares for every customer that walks through her doors.

I also purchased a Benchmade 940 Osborne for my wife's birthday and received 15% off, which is cheaper than Amazon and many other retailers. Over the years, I've bought several Benchmade knives from this store, and I also want to give a shoutout to Eric--he's fantastic as well. Really friendly staff they have here. I truly appreciate this store and make it a point to support small businesses whenever I can. They really excel in customer service and genuinely care for their customers. In a time when such attentiveness is hard to find, it's a breath of fresh air to shop at small stores that prioritize their clientele.

This DSW is located at Pentagon Row and visible from the street, and since it's anchored on a…read morecorner, it makes it easy to access. It's DSW so who doesn't love them, a discount, or shoes, mmmm? mmmm? who???!!! lol This location is very clean and since it's located on the upper level it is very bright with lots of natural lighting, which I love. There is an escalator and an elveator available to make it is accessible to all. The parking is wherever you can find it but you can get a free hour at the Harris teeter parking lot or free on the street after 6 pm, otherwise, you have to pay. Decent selection of shoes but this is a smaller store, size-wise, and that also means that they have no bathroom, should you need one. Kinda no bueno in my book, because you never know, and there were customers inquiring for one. The staff was friendly and they only had one cashier working but it was not busy on a chilly, fall, Saturday afternoon, so it was no big deal.
