Helpful and friendly employees. This location has a large clearance selection. Downside is the limited options. Luckily I was able to find what I was looking for. Found a new pair of adidas shower slide slippers for home in the youth section. I found my size in the little boys section luckily last box! This DSW is next to a bridal store with a large shared free parking lot which was easy to find and navigate. Overall I found what I needed and would return. read more

DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse - Adidas youth shower slide - Shoe Stores Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Went in to figure out sons proper shoe size and learned they had a new machine that scans your feet. Had to try it myself, pretty neat and seems accurate. Staff were helpful and friendly. Men's/boys options were very limited so we tried some Puma's he liked but ended up ordering a different color online. Staff said they also provide a waterproofing service, will definitely return. read more

DSW is getting five stars from me. Recently finding myself here more often, really pleased with the recycle shoe program, the friendly staff, the patient and customer service, and specifically impressed with one of the associates named Peyton read more

Miss the DSW that used to be at the former Northgate Mall. Now have to drive further north to the DSW near Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood. I receive periodical discounts by mail or via emails. Previous visit, I found decent winter boots and shoes for work back in Nov 2022. Today (6/4/23), I stopped in specifically for tennis shoes. It's a challenge to get a comfy fit. No luck this visit. Decent variety for men, women, and children. read more

My mistake on not checking the price on check out. Called the store, when I got home, Mary sales associate said she don't see what I was talking about on the other box in the store. Was told to return to the store if asking for a price difference. Not going to spend extra time and gas. So bottom line lesson learnt, pay attention at check out. read more

DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse - Shoe Stores Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

I shop here often and the experience is ok. It's hard to find someone that works on the floor and can answer questions. Most recently I went and bought an expensive pair of boots. The selection was just so so. The cashier also left the security tag on which is very annoying since I was hoping to wear those today read more

The employees are nice and helpful. But they often don't know what sales are going on, like current promotions. I do think their Covid precautions could step it up a bit. Some of the employees weren't wearing mask even though they were behind the plastic clear board behind the counter. The employee also took my cellphone to help with my coupon but I didn't feel comfortable with her handling my cellphone without wearing a mask. read more

DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse - Love the store but hate that a lot of the shoes -- same size but right one is bigger than the left one! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

To be totally honest I wish they hadn't moved (now by Davids Bridal.) I say this because, the last store you can tell where to go. I just spent maybe 10 minutes figuring out where the men's section is. (On the left by the registers btw). Side note- Mens aren't included in the giant clearance section in the back anymore as clearance sizes stop at 11) Honestly if your a guy looking for some shoes... Id look elsewhere. At this new location I couldn't even tell if there is a men's clearance section (could NOT find it) Men seem to only be offended a few per type of shoe; Do you want running shoe, slides, crocs, dress shoe or work boot? Also they seem to only carry 5 pairs at a time so hopefully they have your size. If you're looking for women's shoes. You'll have like 85% of the store to choose from plus purses. read more

I went in to get some Merrell shoes that were on sale. They didn't have my size. The lady who helped me was really pleasant at first. I found a different pair of shoes that were similar. When I checked out I asked if DSW gave rain checks on items that were on sale but not in stock. She just stared at me and then said we only have what's in stock. I asked again about rain checks on the Merrell shoes and I asked if she knew what I was asking. I said quite innocently "maybe that's something from my generation" to which she said "maybe I'm just stupid." I told her that's not at all what I meant. She just shrugged it off in a curt manner as if put out. Screw the membership I was going to sign up for. read more

DSW always has a buffet of choices when it comes to shoes -- and their selection is second to none. Sign up for their rewards and you will big discounts on shoes. They just changed locations, and even though the new space is smaller, they have the same selection of shoes. I highly recommend. read more

Vast array of shoes here but for some reason they aren't all of the best quality. Had a hard time finding black flats that were made well. I don't wear heels and needed some decent shoes for work that weren't open toed. They had little to offer me and I ended up buying a pair of shoes I don't really like but that's my problem. Also, not a sales person in sight in the 1 hour I spent in the store. Parking can be tricky as this is a really busy area. read more

The front desk staff was incredibly rude. I understand that they are asked to collect my name and address. But, I'm happy to not get more junk email and junk mail. I politely declined to give them my address. But the front desk staff was unpleasantly and abrasively persistent. I'd imagine the point of requesting addresses is repeat business. But being a jerk won't help that cause. read more

I am not entirely sure on the rating of shoe stores. I have been to the store many times and I enjoy the selection of men's and children's shoes. The prices are always very reasonable and seem to make the displays helpful in finding different styles. There are always email specials that provide even a better deal if you sign up for the email specials. The only thing that has got me many times is that they are out of the size that I need. Assistance is also not readily available and they always ask at the checkout register but by then it is too late. I guess warehouse is in the name? read more

I bought a pair of shoes that completely fell apart after 5 months. But what is even worse is that when I reached out to DSW they said there was nothing they could do about it, no refund or exchange. They don't stand behind the products they sell. I've been a long time DSW customer but this will definitely be my last purchase from them. Do better DSW. read more

This is what I suspect, though I am by no means making a statement of fact. I suspect that shoe companies make shoes especially for DSW to sell at a discount and that these aren't 1st quality designs that you'd find at regular retail stores. Why do I suspect this? Well, because the shoes that DSW carries are often substandard to the brands normal shoes. The leathers are thin, there's often glue showing and often the shoes just look... cheap. I have purchased children's shoes here because they're in and out of them so fast due to growing feet, but for me, I want quality shoes. While I think DSW is definitely better than say, Payless Shoes, they're also more expensive and just barely more stylish. read more

I ordered A pair of shoes via online on 09/29 and needed them for a wedding that I was leaving town to attend In 10/08 the Oder stated that I would receive the shoes in 4-7 days, but they never came. When I returned from my trip I received an email stating my order was ready for pickup. A little too late. When I called the store to cancel the order, I informed the employee why I wanted to cancel my order. Not one "sorry for the inconvenience " or "sorry it was our mistake". Just said ok it's been cancelled, good bye. Doesn't anyone In retail know how to handle difficult situations any more! read more

I received a promotional card from DSW, $30 off of a $49 or more pair of shoes. So I ordered online using the discount and picked them up in the store. Tried them on before leaving. They didn't work for me. I found another pair at the store and wanted to exchange them. You would think that they could reapply the discount to the new pair of shoes since I was exchanging them, but they told me they couldn't. The $30 discount is a one-time deal. That seems petty to me and maybe bordering on unethical. No way to keep a customer happy and returning to the store. I will avoid this place in the future. read more

This location is super convenient, as it's right by the freeway near Alderwood and within sight of the Rack, but it's a very small DSW (maybe 1/4-1/3 the size of the one I used to go to before we moved). Having said that, we were able to find the perfect pair of shoes for homecoming, and the cashier was very friendly. read more

Shoes for DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS!! This is a candy store for women! What to look at, where to start?! Huge store with TONS of shoes! I always head for the clearance first! They always have at least 4-5 racks of size 5-5-1/2, which are always sooooo hard to come by! I always luck out and find great prices and great shoes in my size!! YEYYYYYY!!! read more

Here is the deal: "Warehouse" is in the name. It's not Nordstrom. Don't expect to find the best quality for a discount. If that's what you want, don't shop here. Discounted truly designer shoes aren't handed on a platter with a discount price tag. Want a discount on designer shoes? You're gonna have to be the early bird that gets the worm at a department store sale or get lucky at Nordstrom Rack. Ever seen the shoe section there? There you go. And whether you're going to the outlet or the discount sister store of a major department store, know that many items are made for that discount store. So, I'm pretty sure that's what you get at DSW, even though it's not an offshoot of another store. Ok, so I digress. Imelda Marcos I'm not, but I love shoes. Through the years, I've learned that a good pair of shoes has a pretty price tag for quality. You want to have good shoes because you want your feet to be happy. You don't want to come home every day with blisters on your feet. As someone who's shopped at DSW for a long time, I've found the happy medium for me: Shoes that last about as long as I think I'd wear them for a decent price. The lifespan: A couple of years for shoes I'd wear for work, and 3-4 years for non-everyday shoes (e.g., hiking boots, winter boots, etc.). And even with that, I probably wore them past their prime. I'm not into fashion trends. I'm more practical. My latest obsession with DSW is that they started a donation program that suck(er)s you in to buying more shoes. For rewards members that means donate a pair of shoes, get $5 to apply to your next purchase. We are barely halfway through the year and I've donated 7 pairs of shoes, basically one per month. And, if memory serves me right, I have bought 5 pairs of shoes (for my son and me). The discounts can be stacked, which feeds my urge to buy. Then throw in super cheap yet cute freebies (weekender tote, anyone?), and suddenly I feel like dropping $40 on a whim. While I like to browse online, I love going to the clearance section in the back. It's where I think, "Yeah, there's no nylon foot thingies here. But for a deep discount, I'll expose my feet to others' foot cooties." Actually, I don't think that. It just occurred to me as I was writing this review. Oh well. Do other shoe stores disinfect their shoes? If you don't go here for yourself, go here for your kids. Since I know my kid's feet will grow once we leave the store, I'm able to resell the shoes to other parents and at least get some of my money back. Because as parents, I'm sure many of us don't want to shell out mucho dinero for new zapatos that won't ever meet your child's foot. Or if that falls, I can donate and continue the endless cycle. Yes, the bathroom looks like a scene out of a Dateline re-enactment. The times I've been in there, it's so dimly lit. No toilet liners isn't new in the Seattle area. It seems the norm based on my experience. But "the squat" is in my genes, so it's no biggie. However, when I went yesterday, it looks like they replaced the lightbulbs. Extra star for you, Alderwood DSW. Lastly, when you stand in line, I've noticed the cashiers will call out something along the lines of "Next Shoe Lover, please." Not sure if it makes me feel like I'm someone special or of I'm feeling labeled. Might as well be precise and call me "Shoe Whore." I'd be fine with that. Lol! Oh, and another way they're trying to be "cute" is that I saw there is a shoe brand "Com & Sens." I kid you not. I'm sure the execs get their kicks out of that one. Har, har. read more

Found a cute pair of Jessica Simpson heels on clearance for $20, but otherwise,​ the prices are still pretty high for a store that claims it's a "warehouse." Staff there was friendly and helpful though, I was offered a bag and assisted multiple times during my visit. Would possibly come back and peruse the clearance rack again, but the regularly priced shoes are either 1) ugly 2) uncomfortable or 3) still expensive. read more

They have a decent selection but not all of the shoes are great quality. For the prices and brands you would hope that the shoes would be a little more durable. They have some fun accessories but they always seemed overpriced to me. I had an awful experience at this location as I was walking down an aisle two men were stuffing to duffel bags full of shoes. I tried to pretend like I wasn't seeing anything, but obviously I was. They stared at me until I was out of the aisle and then ran out of the store with their big duffel bags. Now maybe some people are used to seeing something like this, but not me. I almost had a panic attack and I was so afraid to leave the store. I ended up telling an employee. She was so nice and calmed me down. She was so nonchalant about it though, "don't worry, it happens." Since this experience I've been pretty much afraid to go in this location. Considering the fact that it didn't seem very out of the ordinary to her, maybe they should get a little more security. Maybe I'm just naive, and it does happen a lot. It was just the first time I witnessed it and actually made eye contact with the thieves. read more

The customer service was very good. Found a pair of shoes I liked but couldn't find the size that I wanted. The person at the sales counter found the size of shoe I liked at another store, called the store at Northgate and had them on hold for me. I still purchased the shoes at the Lynnwood branch in case but the exchange was 100% hassle free (I went to the Factoria one by mistake). Overall, great customer service. read more

DSW has an excellent selection of shoes. It's pretty huge actually. My favorite thing is the back clearance section. I've found some beautiful shoes for great prices. Recently I found a gorgeous pair of brown Franco Sarto riding boots. I can't remember the original price, but I got them for only $90, which is pretty awesome for the quality. For some reason I never get my coupons from them in the mail like everyone else. Not really sure why. I should probably check to see what address they have in the computer for me. The staff is ok. I would say hit or miss. I have had great customer service on some trips and others where I've had not one person ask me if I needed help. Overall, I couldn't be happier to have this place literally down the street from me. It's not cheap but it's almost impossible to leave without finding a pair of shoes I can't live without! read more

I was really impressed with the great inventory at this store, but I was even more pleasantly surprised by the attentive customer service provided by Waleed today. He went way above and beyond to help me find shoes that would work for me. read more

I love shoes. I love shoes. I love shoes. I love shoes. Ok I could go on forever. But I won't. DSW provides my shoegasm in a nice, clean, and organized way. Things are in nice neat rows, and the boxes with the different sizes are nicely stacked beneath the display (and generally in size order.) I like that no staff comes and bugs me while I'm shopping, but they are easily at hand if I have a question. There are also plenty of stools to sit on while trying shoes on, unlike some places where you're fighting over one stool with 10 people. Check out was fairly fast, except that I wasn't a rewards member, so it took an extra 5 minutes to set me up. But after that I was out free. I don't know that DSW's prices are really that much better; I have a feeling that the shoes they sell are made for them, so the prices they post as the original "designer" price was likely just their markup. But you can definitely find some good shoes at decent prices. read more

Jade, went out of her way to help me. What a great customer service! The store is always clean and organized as well.

Limited parking at this strip mall location it can get messy here. Shoe choice-wise, it's like the Costco of selection size in here, even for guys!!! I've found the prices to be a tad better than the Outlet malls, and here they have a far better number of 4E selections. As a child the shoe store guy named me Mr. Duck Feet....thus I pretty much hate shoe salesmen in general, so the fact that you can hardly find an employee here suites my tastes. Line up to check out, walk out with a new pair of kicks, it's all good. read more

I LOVE DSW but I prefer to shop online with them. The stores are large and true to the name, a Warehouse... if I'm not sure about a shoe sizing and stylewise I will visit a store first. This location is like any other, help to few and far in between. read more

if you are in desperate need of a bathroom. Beware. No liners, no t.p., missing light (very dark). I don't even think they mop the floors. read more

They advertise as having wide shoes. When we entered we asked for where to find wide shoes. Customer service lady said they were mixed in throughout the store and were stickered. We spent 45 minutes looking for wide shoes. Not one sticker in the store. No customer service. Horrible experience read more

I was doing a little shopping with my daughter next door at Old Navy so we popped in to take a peep. I asked a worker if they had some knee high boots in a 9 and she looked me up and down and said "um for you?". So disrespectful! I said, "no, for the pope!" And she turned around and left. She went and talked to an older man who I'm assuming is the manager. They laughed together and leaned on eachother which I thought was inappropriate. She came back and said "can I help you find anything else?" Like she even helped me before. I said "no thank you". And she said "my manager is making me watch you" and I was in disbelief! I'm just a woman Christmas shopping with my daughter! It was so embarrassing. I walked out barefoot with my shoes in my hand! Never coming back! read more

The inventory is diverse, but they don't have a wide selection of women's dress shoes aside from heels. There is a subset of the population that can't wear open toe shoes or tennis shoes to work, and I was disappointed with their collection of professional, non-heels for women. My partner found the men's shoe department to also be lacking when it comes to cross-trainers, but he seems to enjoy the shoes he settled for. read more

This DSW is located down the street from Alderwood Mall in the complex with the Best Buy, B & N and Old Navy. It didn't seem to be quite as big as the Southcenter/Tukwila location but it did have a similar layout. The staff greeted me as I walked in and didn't push too hard to ask me if I needed help (which I can't stand). I was able to browse to look for some wedges for a friend's wedding but they didn't have a ton of selection in yet since it's still "boot" season here in Seattle. Clean store and seemed to be staffed well for the time of day. read more

Hi, my name is Paul and I have a shoe addiction. I only buy from the clearance racks and the racks at DSW are the best i've seen. Neat, full, and well organized. good selection for people with non-average sized feet. read more

Great customer service...every time I've been in this store, the employees have been kind, friendly and resourceful.

Purchased a pair of booties from dsw alderwood . I wore them one time and the wedges were completely beat up/ dented from wearing them inside and outside on sidewalks. I tried to take them back to explain how the shoes were damaged from wearing them once. The rude salesperson offered me a 10% discount on a purchase of another pair Why would I buy another pair of shoes with an insulting 10% discount if dsw does not stand behind the quality of their products?? I will not be shopping there again read more

I LOVE DSW!! Im so glad we finally got them here! This location is huge and very clean. There has been some less then helpful staff and its always a little too cold in there but those sales racks, who doesn't love a pair of shoes 70% off! read more

Shoes, sandals, heels, and boots oh my! I love DSW, their prices are great, I have found the same footwear at Macy*s and DSW usually will have them at a lower price, not like major but good enough for me. Just need to keep your eye open for those good ones! I could spend pretty much all day in here trying on everything. I think my favorite purchase were some Coach boots that I still have to this day that I got for $70, when they originally were $150. I like the staff here a lot more than the Northgate location. Check out was fast. read more

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had! Usually I can walk into DSW and be greeted at the door, or asked if I need help finding something, or even told to have a nice day. None of these things happened. I had called ahead and asked if there was a particular brand of shoe in stock and was assured that yes there was. I had then mentioned that I was five minutes away and would be there soon. Not a single associate spoke to me. I was unable to find what I was looking for due to the lack of help and so I am bringing my business elsewhere. read more
