He kept pushing this one shoe on me and I kept telling him I don't like it . I said "It wasn't comfortable" he said what do you mean these shoes are comfortable " He then became upset and changed his attitude. He was being so shady about the other shoes. Also his breath smelled horrible, as if not brushed and smoking. Even if I liked the shoes I would have not bought it because of customer service.

Just to let you know that I did not have a good experience with your employees. This made me feel very uncomfortable dealing with the DSW employees at the Lakeview store. Especially when there were other customers waiting in line. I felt very embarrassed. This happened on 5:35 pm Sunday, 7/14/2024.

This applies regardless of the original payment method." I have been a DSW customer for some time. I love the store, the products that DSW sells. However, this experience shows a stark and severe contrast to my previous experiences. As a loyal customer of DSW, this surprised me. It really did.

Suddenly, I remembered!! Why am I wasting my time on shoddy shoe stores when Lori's exists! If I can't find boots here, they don't exist. Rolled up to Lori's. Same setup, same gorgeous shoes on display. A bit more selection of clothing, but I was single minded BOOTS today. I spy a pair of tall black leather Ángel Alarcón boots. HELLO, LOVER. Super helpful and friendly salesperson, Mimi, appears. Because I wasn't tempted enough by these boots, layer a dollop of great customer service over this as well. Think I decided in 5 seconds, yep, these are mine. Made in Spain? Bueno! Mine. Love these boots. I'll be stomping all over Chicago in these. just add a pair of fishnets - FIRE. What I love about Lori's is the selection of clothing, accessories and shoes - you can tell it's intensely curated. There's nothing dull, boring or dowdy - and there are shoes there from comfortable sneakers and flats to sky high heels, and in between. Sadly, I can no longer wear those sky high heels, but I do love gazing at their beauty. And I'm still thinking about a pair of bright orange Vagabond sneakers I also tried on. Hmmmm..... I'll likely be back sooner than later, 'cos I love me a good pair of stylish sneaks. Was there with the BF and he even picked up a cute sweatshirt for his daughter. She's gonna know I urged him to buy it. WIN. Shoes are art, really, and Lori's is a freakin' gallery. The prices - you get what you pay for. Good shoes make you feel and look like a million bucks.

Even though my GPS was telling me where to go, I didn't see it until I was right in front of it. Service was fantastic. The moment we walked in we were greeted even though the place was super busy (it's a madhouse on weekends, apparently) and the woman came by to help us within a couple minutes. This store has been in business since 1961, passed through the family, and it's clear why they've been around so long what with their great service and merchandise. It was the first time that both our kiddos had ever had shoes. She measured them both, and explained what we should look for in shoes; the brand I bought, Stride Rite, she said is usually pretty true to size but if we went with one of their other brands they'd have to go up a bit. Both babes walked (or rather, strolled and were carried) away with a pair of shoes and we'll be back in August to re-size. They have a couple of toy stations to keep bored kids busy, which is a great touch. Since my baby is still just at the creeping stage and standing assisted, she doesn't wear shoes so that she can get used to the feel of her feet and the ground beneath them. But when we go for a walk or something they'll be good for her to have on her feet while she's being strolled. So although the shoes are not cheap by any means--I spent more on her shoes than I often spend on mine--I was ok with it since she's only going to have one or so at a time. And they're good brands, high-quality shoes, which is important for growing feet.

When we rung up the shoes the owner still had the original record keeping mechanism that his parents used when they owned the stores. They have a variety of shoes brands including Stride Rites and some some other brands that are highly recommended by pediatricians. They now have loyal customers for life or at least until our kids no longer fit in kids shoes.
