I've been shopping at DSW for years, and overall it's still a solid place to find quality shoes…read morewith a wide selection. On my latest visit, I found exactly what I needed without too much hassle, which is always a win. That said, it feels like the discounts and deals that DSW was once known for have scaled back a bit. It used to be easier to find deeper markdowns or snag something under $50, but now you have to dig a little harder--and even then, the deals aren't quite what they used to be. The clearance section felt more picked over than usual, and the pricing structure can be a little confusing at times. Still, the store was clean, organized, and the staff was helpful. If you know what you're looking for and keep an eye out for rewards or promotions, you can still score a good deal--it just takes a bit more effort than it used to.

To preface, this review is not towards the Plainville store, as they have great customer service…read moreand friendly staff! However, I tried using a sale discount online about a month ago, but it excluded ASICS. I find it odd a shoe store would exclude a brand, but that's ok. ASICS are the most comfortable to me considering I have a heel spur, and one foot that had surgery. Just to offer my opinion to consider including ASICS, I sent a message to their customer service via email. The following day, I received a nice response from Yelena, acknowledging my inquiry and to please send them the pair I was interested in, along with my size and they would be happy to honor the sale. A few days later I replied along with a screenshot and the size. I reached out twice over the next couple of weeks and never received a response. I then sent a regular letter via mail requesting feedback. Zero response. I wasn't looking for exceptions to begin with, but why offer if you aren't going to back it up? I'm not sure how you simply ignore a customer, but that appears to have taken place here.

I haven't visited this store in a number of years but saw it across the street while having…read morebreakfast at the diner and decided to stop in. It was completely empty on a Sunday morning. It's kind of off the beaten path so I hope they get more traffic. It's a cute store and they have a nice selection of shoes for kids. I found a nice pair of new balance sneakers for my daughter as well as socks, a winter hat and gloves. My mom wanted to check out their Clarks selection. I didn't look around too much but would recommend checking them out if on the turnpike. Service was friendly and prices for the items I looked at were reasonable.

My one son has orthotics in his sneakers and they know how to find shoes to properly fit it. We love Mr. Joe and how he talks with the kids. We will come back as long as it is here. The shoes are a lil higher in price than at generic stores, but better quality. I learned working in schools (former teacher turned homeschool mama) from the PT and OT therapists that shoes are vital for proper development and posture. I saw the difference in their sessions with different shoes... I will always save so they have good footwear. They are on their feet all day just as we are and us adults notice cruddy shoes... why subject our kiddos to that.

He didn't realize that I wear a 35 instead of a 36, so we needed to return the m. Other than the size, I love the shoes. The reason for my 1 star, is because of Famous Footwear.

I understand this isa discount shoe store, but they should cover the cost of returns. We won't use Famous Footwear again.

The store isn't big, but there's plenty of great merchandise. Parking is easy, since it's at a shopping center. The line to check out is typically quick. I'll usually walk away with a great bargain.

This happened not long ago, that the woman working in the jewelry and accessory dept. was absolutely hacking so loudly it was startling. She coughed for a really long time and was not covering her mouth. I immediately left that area and just went to check out. I very quietly told the woman ringing me up that the coughing employee sounds really sick. The woman started almost berating me in a loud tone, that the employee has asthma and she would never come in to work sick. Ok, but how would anyone know that she's not sick and actually has asthma? Also, she's still spreading germs by coughing without covering her mouth. The cashier kept going on and on aggressively that I just walked out. I appreciate people sticking up for their team members, but this is a completely different circumstance.
