I bought three pairs of shoes in 2023 and they were all flip flops. I haven't bought shoes in…read moreperson for years but ordered online. I felt it was time to go back to brick and mortar for my first big shoe shopping foray in quite a while. I brought my Dad who needed new shoes also with me. This location is right on the corner of Bruceville and Laguna in Elk Grove in the large shopping center anchored by Target. There is ample parking and you can locate the store by a large noodle restaurant and a Ross. It had been years since I had gone to a DSW and this location was a big upgrade from the one I'd been to in Reno, NV. It's less of a warehouse and more like a really huge self-serve shoe store. They even have carpet, soft lighting, and ample seating to try on your choices. A big switch from the concrete floor and warehouse lighting of the store I'd visited years ago. Once I got Dad settled, I went to the women's area. There were so many shoes, and a nice size range for most choices. There is also a lot of discounts with price points from high 20's to mid 100's. The store was very well organized, and has a large kids' section. I tried on some flats and then on a whim tried on some suede Doc Martens that I loved. Don't be alarmed, the higher priced shoes are only one in the box in the store floor and an associate will need to get you the matching pair in the storeroom. As I told you, it's been years since I've been in a shoe store so I needed to get with the program! The purchase itself went smoothly and I received a 20% discount for joining DSW rewards. The lady who helped me was very efficient, pleasant, and helpful. They have a 90 day return policy if the shoes are in their original box and are only worn indoors. They also have an order online/store pickup option. Turns out my Dad found two pairs and now has a great pair of high-tops and Adidas slides. My shoes felt great from the get-go and I even wore them in Costco without issue. These will definitely be staying with me!

With all of the pressure for kids (and some adults) to have the newest gadgets and a shoe…read morecollection that resembles Foot Locker, I'm so thankful that my son appreciates the value of "regular" things. Regular including a comfortable pair of New Balances or Converses. Therefore, I often bring him to this location so that he can select two or three pairs of shoes that fit his style. Since we shop here often, I use my VIP Rewards points when making purchases (I highly recommend signing up for their rewards program). Utilizing the VIP rewards program, three pairs of shoes for him often equal or are less than a single pair of shoes for me (yes I am a little fancy - please don't judge me)! Since I occasionally dress up for work, I have landed some really good deals on Cole Haan dress shoes. If they are not available at this location, I usually order them online, save on shipping by opting for the store pick up option, and retrieve them in a matter of days from this location...easy! Staff are consistently helpful and willing to assist with finding alternatives if your desired shoe(s) are out of stock. I recommend checking out this store if you're looking to buy name brand shoes at a discount!

They didn't really check in with us to see if we needed to see a shoe and a specific size or anything. We just left to wander the aisles on her own, which wasn't the worst thing in the world. But I did not appreciate about this store was the prices. Significantly marked up and then called a sale. The sale price was also unremarkable. Low inventory, even if you did find a shoe that you really liked chances are they only had about 3 to 4 sizes of that shoe. I come here cause it's convenient, and not because I think I'm gonna find my entire family a pair of shoes here. Do I recommend this? Sure. But don't have your hopes up.

I was informed that their store policy does not refund customers back to the original payment method and instead refunds are issued by mailed check within about 14 days. It has now been almost six months and I still have not received my refund. I have called the store numerous times to follow up and each time staff members tell me that only the store manager/owner can assist me. My calls are then transferred to voicemail, but none of my messages have ever been returned. Extremely disappointed with the lack of communication, customer service, and failure to issue a refund that should have been resolved months ago. Customers should not have to repeatedly chase down a business for money they are owed.

They looked amazing and I tried them on. They felt good and I thought they looked good. When I used them the next day. The tongue of the shoe hurt my foot really bad when I would lace them up. I had to tie them loosely and when I would take a step they were uncomfortable. I called Red Wing and just like that Sunday when they showed me great customer service in the store they also showed me great customer service over the phone. They said I had 30 days to return them. They said to try them out for 2 weeks and see if maybe all they need is to be broken in. Like I said customer service was really top notch the store was clean the employees were super nice and friendly. Only thing I would say is that the work boots did get more expensive the most I've spent before was about 250. This time the bill was 320, They are good shoes and your feet are your money makers so you need good boots to protect them. Red wings is what you want.

What a goldmine I stumbled upon. This place has coats, vests, reflector safety gear, pants, scrubs, boots, shoes, hats, and more. Although I didn't find one like I had, zipper broke, I found one that will be better. Men's sizing but will do just as well if not better for my needs. Prices seemed high but I bought a Carhartt vest and that brand is pricey. Plus I bought my vest 5 years ago. The store was established in the 1990's. Owner/man who helped me was friendly, professional and pointed me to where I needed to look. I will go back for similar needs.
