Was so happy to find these shoes in my size in the kids area. So I learned kids shoes fits adults. I'm an 8 in women's. But I'm a 7 in kids. Normally the kids prices are less. I welcome the savings today for the shoes I bought. Also thrilled to see they have Bombas socks here. Best socks! read more

As a DSW shoe lover, I stopped in to take advantage of the Spring sale of BOGO 50% off. I love the layout by style and you definitely get your steps in walking the aisles! I was excited to find a pair of wedges and a pair of sandals as we transition to warmer weather. There are so many sizes available and they can order from the website if your size isn't available. read more

Hubs and I come here anytime we're event thinking about getting new shoes. The selection is huge and there's typically a sale. I highly recommend checking out the clearance section! I was considering buying new sneakers in the future, but I found a deeply discounted pair that I bought them early. I've taken them out a few times, but my older shoes still have some life in them. My new ones are comfy and great for all the walking I'll be doing in them. Service is great. Hubs had a gift card to use and there was some issue that wasn't letting him clear a certain purchase. I don't know all the details about it, but we were helped by three different people until a manager called in to her help desk and got us going. Despite this being incredibly frustrating each person handled it with patience and humor. At no point did we catch any attitude, but if we had I would've understood. This is our shoe spot forever. read more

PROS: (1) Large selection (2) Friendly staff (3) Easy returns, $5 coupon (at least sometimes) when you return shoes CONS: (1) There are rarely stickers to indicate human-made materials. If this is important to you, you'll have to check lots and lots of labels. (2) Online return process requires that you tell it why you're returning, and "Uncomfortable" is not an option, and there's no "Other". They have a "too small" option, but the shoes were not too small, there were the right size, just uncomfortable. So, I was forced to lie in order to complete the form. Garbage in = garbage out (3) I visited a store to return some shoes I bought from their online store, and the cashier apologize and gave me a $5-off coupon as an apology for the experience of receiving shoes I didn't like. She didn't mention (and I didn't notice at first in the fine print) that the coupon expired IN FOUR HOURS(!). Had I not received a coupon at all, I probably would have rated 4 stars. But if you give a coupon with an amazingly early expiration time, you had better point it out to the customer. read more

Been buying shoes here for years, spend probably around $800-1,000 annually for me and my family, but won't be going back. Bought a $100 pair of Vans shoes earlier this month, they felt alright in the store, but I wore them ONE TIME and within an hour my feet began to hurt really bad. I tried to return the shoes and they won't take a return or exchange because "they were worn outside", because the sole had a small bit of dirt around the side. Buyer beware, they expect you to wear your shoes for hours in their store or inside your house if you want to make sure the shoes don't hurt you. I bought two $120 pairs of Saucony shoes here four months ago and those have worked out great, but I won't be coming back. read more

DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse - The shoes I tried to return. The problem was they were too narrow, and don't stretch with wear like other shoes do. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Austin, Texas

The front counter person I dealt with wasn't to personal. He made me wait a extra 2 minutes before acknowledging me when I entered the store. Not really a big deal for me but for the modern day Karen it maybe.. read more

The world of every cheap to mid level shoe you can imagine! Seriously... if you want mass selection of many styles, shapes, sizes and colors... well here ya go! There are lots to choose from. Pretty good prices in most things too. They do carry some name brands and lots of off brands... or at least stuff I have never heard of! If you're looking to be waited on hand and "FOOT" well this is not the place. If you're looking to get help in any way other then to check out.... this is not the place. If you're looking for advice or any suggestions... well this not the place. It is the place if you don't mind looking and finding and trying on everything yourself. Which does allow for some descent prices. My wife loves the selections... loves the prices... we even found two pair she liked right away. They carry a few good brands and they have depth of sizes... usually... and she found what she wanted and liked pretty fast... SCORE! read more

For those of you who sleep on DSW because they are shoes that are no longer in the local stores or not in trend, you are missing out. I found everything I need and more at this DSW. I needed some running shoes very bad and I was successful with getting a pair of new balance & ASICS. I wish the Nike shoe was in my size read more

Everyone is very friendly. They have a nice variety of shoes. It can be quite pricey, but quality of shoes is worth it.

It's true, shoes are definitely cheaper here. I don't always find what I'm looking for if I have something specific in mind but I always find something I like. I'm pretty specific about brands of fashionable & professional shoes- I do not sacrifice style for comfort and so I usually prefer Clark's or Dr. Scholls for which they have a modest selection. During busier/peak times it is difficult to find an attendant to look for the correct style/size if it isn't already one the floor. We ended up waiting in line with the incorrect size; we found out at the register that the correct size was out of stock but we got free 5-7 day shipping for shoes that are store-returnable if they don't work out. Also good to note that the DSW rewards are pretty impressive- this time I got $20 a $49.99+ purchase as well as a free weekender bag that was large and of solid quality. read more

This store is always organized and clean. Came with my wife to see if we could find a deal it's hot or miss but always organized. Love the clearance isles in the back a must check. Love to find a deal, nothing this visit but will return. read more

Charles was very friendly and helpful in the short amount of time I was in the store he went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. I work a lot of hours as a server and was looking for a very specific shoe he knew right where to guide me. Thank you for taking the time to make sure a had what I needed! read more

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT-read this if you're considering buying shoes here: the 30 day guarantee is CONDITIONAL- basically it means you can't wear the shoes unless in the store or inside. They will refuse to take them back if they find they've been worn outside. So in essence the "30 days" is meaningless and total bs. My shoes didn't start causing my feet injury and pain until about 2 weeks in. It's impossible to know just how some shoes will break-in until much later and this ridiculous guarantee is simply a facade for these reasons. Go with amazon - you can get ALL THE SAME SHOES THERE at prices as good and NO ISSUES on return. Please read my other reviews to get a good idea that this isn't some "troll review"...I recorded my dealings with the manager of this store and will be posting it shortly. read more

I love DSW..... However, I had my order for store pickup and didn't know you had to wait in line. What gives? Most stores have a separate area for pickup. Yeah, long line with 20 people.... And the lady I asked insisted my order is, "still processing". Lmfao No, it's not. I received an email that it was ready. I waited in line for a long time and the cashier tries to tell me I ordered 1 pair of shoes. Girl, I ordered 2...... the receipt is right in front of you. Read it. ‍ I'll have the shoes shipped to next time or I'll just go shopping during the week. You heed a separate area for, "Store Pickup" orders. IJS.... read more

I went to your store for the very first time in search of a pairs of heels for an event. I was shocked to find ONE, yes ONE, pair of heels in a size 11. For a nationwide show store, women that wear beyond a size 10 must not be ones you're looking to have shop with you. Never coming back. read more

Everything is not a bargain here but the selection is good and you can often order things online and have them shipped to the store if they don't have your size. The staff at DSW are great. They understand the logic that most cashiers / managers fight you about like when things go on sale and getting a swap or price match. Things like that keep me a loyal DSW shopper. Also, I like to try shoes on before buying them... so there's that. The DSW rewards program is also totes a program that works. You get a credit on your birthday and it stacks with the other discounts and promos. Keep up the good work DS-Dubs! read more

The customer service here is pretty hit or miss. Examples: waiting in line for over ten minutes to pick up an order is frustrating, and sometimes it's very difficult to find anyone in the aisles, and when you do, you're directed to the website for questions. But also, sometimes once you are being helped, the associate will stay with your 70something Mother in Law to answer all her questions and help her exchange our shoes to save $30. So there's that, as well. Very middling. I find the prices here to be about $60 a shoe, and their rewards program is pretty robust. I'd say give them a shot, but go on your lunch break. read more

Once Upon a Time a boy lived in Utah where he heard tales of a great mythical store called DSW. People would come back from far away lands showing the non-traveling poor their amazing discount shoes. The people of the Utah lands settled for their Famous Footwear's, hoping to one day be able to make the trek to the magical DSW. One day the poor boy made the journey to the land of Austin, and was finally able to visit the magical DSW. As he walked up to the large automatic doors, he could hear the caw of a thousand grackles, and the breeze of the Air Conditioning welcoming him into the discount magic kingdom. What a sight! Shoes from wall to wall..... designer shoes, running shoes, and flip flops. As he walked down the isle he began to realize that the tales of great discounts he had heard were only tales, and the great DSW was not as amazing as the tales he heard. He searched the rows looking for the magic colored stickers..... but all the wonderful shoes were tagged with purple. Only the the horrible looking shoes were at the deep discounts promised. The boy left DSW with nothing but some socks....... never to return. The End read more

Well, this store has most definitely made up for the insidiousness of the store in McAllen (review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/dsw-mcallen#hrid:nMbs5ziFLjHKnjrb_OxpCg/src:self ). After a couple weeks of phone tag with corporate relations people, I decided to try to bring the shoes in anyway to exchange them. Sadly, they'd gone on clearance and there were no longer any of the size I needed in the store. Long story short, I asked if I could at least get a price adjustment since I'd only bought them a week or two previously, which they happily granted. I just love those shoes too much to get rid of them. May bring them to the Shoe Hospital or something to get stretched out... time will tell. Anyway, I love this store. They have all types of shoes for both men and women. I have terrible luck with heels, but DSW keeps compelling me to buy (or at least try) them. Overall, the store is clean and well lit, sizes are amply stocked. There's usually several associates on the sales floor, but they're somewhat difficult to recognize because there's not a standard uniform, just name badges. And THE SALES! OMG, the SALES! There's an entire room in the back of the store with outdated shoes with awesome discounted prices! Different colored stickers mean different levels of discounts. Also, check out the DSW Rewards program. You get points towards future purchases and access to special deals throughout the year. I've never been much of a shoe person, but DSW has made a believer out of me. read more

Purchased a cute, comfortable pair of brown Sofft shoes with an architectural style heel marked down and discounted a second time at 30% off. I had not been here for years and was delighted at the addition of more comfortable shoe styles. Cute and comfy. Service can be spotty. There were several young men (boys) working here on a busy Friday. They were cute and comfy but did not know how to help me find the ideal shoe. Just a note: do not come here on Friday. Apparently, that is the day truck loads of ladies travel to Austin to shop at Sam Moon's. I regrettably took part in a monster traffic grid lock within the woefully inadequate parking lot. It took me 15 minutes to back out of my parking space, drive down the side of the parking lot and out on to the Mopac access road. Almost no pair of shoes is worth this. read more

Can you say WALK-IN CLEARANCE ROOM? I just looked. I own 21 pairs of shoes. (Shaddap, I'm a girl)! And a grand total of 14 of those pairs came from DSW. The rest are miscellaneous vintage things that I would never be able to find there anyways and a coupla cheap cuties from Goodie Two Shoes. Guess I didn't realize how much that clearance room actually means to me. I'll never take you for granted again, DSW! read more

I'd like to think I have a pretty rugged, pragmatic, manly approach to shoe buying. Step 1) Find a shoe that works well Step 2) Buy 4 pairs Step 3) Avoid thinking about shoes for the next few years This foolproof strategy, coupled with a few REI garage sales, has served me well for quite some time. Unfortunately I made the mistake of taking up running as a hobby, and it's accelerated my shoe wear (ha! double entendre) quite a bit. Well, I was dragged into DSW not too long ago, and noticed they had a pretty good selection of men's running shoes. A quick check showed that the prices were competitive with Amazon, plus I get instant gratification. As a bonus, the women sales consultants are busy chasing the women customer, so men get largely ignored. Awesome. I have to deduct a star because I've found that it's pretty rare for them to carry multiple pairs of the same size....that throws quite a wrench in my plans. But pretty inexpensive, painless shoe shopping otherwise. read more

I don;t think I'll ever return to a DSW store again unless it is for flip flops, slippers, or sneakers. Nearly everything is plastic. There is no footwear of any real quality there. Plastic everywhere. read more

I'll be entirely honest. Shoes have never been "MY" thing. Yes you are correct I am a woman, but for reals. Only until recently I have found myself in shoe hell. As in I had an ankle fracture which has forced me to re-eval my entire shoe collection. It's like the Costco of shoes. So be prepared to go in with a mission or spend endless time wandering each aisle. DSW is kind of like crack..they know your weaknesses and constantly send you coupons. Which in most women's minds means I need to spend to save! don't I? ok. I thought so too. Their prices are really good, I love that they have shoe reviews. Eh, It's really just one woman enabling another. We're sick like that. Anyways. DSW. Shoes. Lots of them. read more

Great selection of shoes and accessories. Huge store. Great sale going on so I went a bit crazy. 4 pairs of quality and designer name shoes for $119. Very glad we made the trip North to shop here. read more

Have came here many times trying to find nice dress shoes or casual shoes size 13 wide and up. I have yet to find a single pair that fits In the largest warehouse of shoes in Austin And also in every establishment in Austin. If I could give one star review with an anguished emoji to every single shoe store that exists, I would read more

Man, DSW seems like such a great concept on paper. That said, their selection is always just meh. I'm not saying they don't have cool shoes. I'm just saying that they don't have that many sizes of anything in particular. Also, if you want to look online and checkout their inventory, it's never real time and well, you'll probably waste a lot of your time. I want to say I spent 30 minutes here just waiting to see if they had shoes in my size. Is it terrible? It could be a lot worse but definitely frustrating. read more

I, for a number of reasons, hate shopping...especially shoe shopping. DSW is one of the very few places that doesn't send shockwaves of retail fear and loathing through my system. It's overwhelmingly large, but the low walls help to stave off the claustrophobia. The men's selection takes up about a quarter of the hangar sized store...which is great for me. I'm one of those types that in the face of too many options, chooses not to choose. There are a number of shoes of all sizes and styles. The prices can't be beat. Most of all...they have a great selection of boots. I was able to find almost exactly what i was looking for within minutes. I'm not saying that this is the beginning of a new found love of shopping, but I'd happily return when I need a new pair of kicks (that's what the kids say today...right?). read more

My new favorite shoe store. If i had any idea how great the selection was and how good the pricing was, not to mention how nice the store is, I would have come her years ago! Very friendly and helpful staff too... read more

I have what my husband lovingly refers to as "Rupaul feet". That is to say, I have big feet for a lady (size 11). It can be very difficult for me to find not only shoes that fit, but cute shoes. DSW has always been a place I can count on to find both. The first place I go when I come here is the clearance racks in the back. They have really good deals back there. Today I found the most rockin pair of Betsey Johnson heels but at $90 (clearance price) couldn't justify it. Normally though you can find plenty of top designer heels in the $30-50 range if not cheaper. Today I wanted boots but none stood out to me. Everyone else had the same idea because there must have been 15 women crammed into the same aisle. The ones I bought here a few years ago were around $70 and lasted me for ages. They are more than heels and boots though. They have everything from flip flops, to sneakers, and ballet flats too. Check them out on social media and stay up to date on sales because they have good ones from time to time and also like to send out coupons. read more

Best place to shop for shoes. (Except athletic shoes, have not shopped for those here.) The best selection anywhere. Not always the best prices. But if you are looking for a certain style or color, you will surely find it at DSW. Don't forget to sign up for the rewards online. I finally earned enough points to get a $10 off anything certificate that can be combined with another certificate (birthday one coming up, will use with that). Check the back clearance racks first. read more

I love shoes! I love shoes! I love shoes! Is it any wonder that DSW is one of my favorite stores in the whole world? This store is the same as every other in layout (except those new modern layout stores that they briefly experimented with). But what makes it special is the helpfulness of the people who work there. They are very nice. And if they don't have a pair of shoes in your size, they will try their damnedest to find it for you at another store and arrange to put them on hold for you. Don't be afraid to ask! I promise that they will be nice about it! The parking lot is fine but finding the store can be a little hard if you are coming from the east down Braker Lane. You actually have to turn left before you get to the Home Depot. It's confusing. Trust me. I mean, I've been there and I still miss the turn sometimes. It seems too far before the mall to be right! But, hey, for shoes I'll always turn around! Even better, of course, is that they are located next to Marshall's! So you can pickup a new outfit to go with that new pair of shoes! Yay! read more

This place had a great selection for clearance and it was actually really organized and clean! The aisles were really neatly categorized so that you could literally walk through the store and skim through the shoes in categories with your eyes and know if they would have something that you are needing or looking for. The workers are quite friendly and helpful also. It is in a little shopping center right off the highway also so it's not hard to get to either. Great little shop to get a quick fix or even a great pair of "in style" shoes! read more

Decent selection, young and somewhat confused employees but helpful regardless, great location with lots of dining options. So I guess I don't hate this place. I do appreciate the organization of the place and how things just make sense. I do wish that their clearance section was slightly better but oh well! read more

Love it, love it, love it! Need I say anymore?! LOL....I recently went shopping for a particular shoe for a night out on the town. I fell in love with Madden Girl, another line of Steve Madden.... I don't shop for myself often enough so this was indeed a special occasion. I love the shoes I got and for the price they are wonderful! I got them for $29 plus tax! not too bad for a 3 inch heel! :) I have gotten many compliments on these since I bought them and to tell you the truth I am itching to go back....here I come DSW, here I come. read more

LOVE IT ! I love this place! They have great shoes at great prices! Every time I go there I end up trying all these shoes and spend over an hour there! If you love shoes make sure you plan ahead because you'll want to try all sorts of shoes. read more

"Are you finding everything alright?" Are you kidding me? I'm standing in a frickin shoe WAREHOUSE. I have one of your handy shopping bags secured over my shoulder, already 3 pairs deep. If this place were to blow right now I'd go out happy, and if it doesn't I am probably going home with a pair of shoes on sale. It's a win-win. I get at least 2 $10 off coupons throughout the year. Your crazy little points system everytime I buy a pair gets me another $10 bucks whenever I reach X amount of points, and believe me, I'm going to reach that number a few times this year. Even with my now fragile foot I can still find a deal on some not-old-lady-looking Born or Sofft shoes built with steel shanks and other sturdy stuff that I can rely on. So it's almost dumb to ask me if I'm FINDING everything ok - the stuff about jumped in my pants when I walked in. The actual problem is I'm finding a lot of stuff, and it's pretty ok, and I can't decide, and your clearance ROOM where all of your sizes are on the right racks and in the right boxes really tickles me. So yes, I'm doing well, thank you. read more

I am Hooked! To protect my feet I go through shoes fairly often. I don't wear same pair back to back n try to hv different choices to protect the outcome of bad feet inherited. I Love the option to donate slightly warn shoes n receive credit for it too!!! I even can get my brand running shoes here too instead of going to Academy. So Far So Good for Me! read more

Very poor customer service at the checkout area. The associate who helped me cut me off midsentence and was very rude. No problem, I get it, they must just not return business. read more

I'd never been in a DSW until I needed round toe black pumps. I couldn't find them anywhere. I didn't find them here either (Zappos!), but while I was here, I was impressed by the diamonds in the rough I spotted - Moschino! Kate Spade! Marc Jacobs! I think the prices on the designer shoes could have been better. Most people seemed happy shopping, but I don't think I'll be back. read more
