DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse

DSW almost always has the answers to my shoe prayers. They carry a good heel, a good wedge, a good flat, a good sneaker and a good boot. Those are my essentials, and every season I can count on DSW for carrying a nice pair of one of each. While they do carry designer shoes, they have sales regularly. Their purse section is a little overpriced in my opinion. Most of the purses can be found in other stores for a bit cheaper. They have a small section of jewelry, reasonably priced. By the cashiers, they carry socks, leggings, spanx and some wallets. I never find myself waiting too long at the checkout line and they staff is nice and friendly. They aren’t huge sticklers when it comes to their return policy. As long as the shoe you are returning doesn’t look like it’s been worn more than once to try on, they will have no problem allowing you to return it for a full refund. Don’t forget about their clearance section in the back. Their clearance rack contains more than just shoes that aren’t in season! They apparently have a points system here but I haven’t noticed any benefits from the awards program yet and I consider myself a pretty frequent shoe buyer here. The only thing I don’t love about this store is their parking lot. It is in the same shopping center as BJ’s, LA Fitness, TJ Maxx, Home Goods and other stores so there is a lot of traffic flow and you need to really be observant when driving in this spot.

I am a fan of good deals, and DSW is the place one can usually find some good ones. I was in need of a new pair of work shoes, so I headed over here after work.
This shopping center is kind of strangely arranged, and a little run down, but there’s nothing wrong whatsoever with the DSW. It’s clean, it’s well lit, the shelves are stocked well and although I didn’t encounter any help on the sales floor (which I didn’t need) I had great service at the checkout.

I thought that this location would be better than the one at Walden Galleria, but not so much. I was looking for better brands, more selection, and perhaps more finds in the clearance section.
Location itself is huge and from reading another review, it’s supposed to be newer. Sales associates outnumbered the customers. Parking lot was pretty empty.
I’m not sure if they were in the middle of restocking their shelves with seasonal merch, but there were quite a few that were empty. Best «brand» was Coach. :P No higher-​end stuff, everything was made in China.

This is a fine DSW. In the BJs & TJMaxx plaza. Easy parking. Well lit. Nice staff. Huge selection. They have a lot of purses and other things like that at this location, perhaps more than I have seen at others.
Parking here is terrific.

This new location is so «comfy» and more stylish then the typical, stark, fluorescent lighted other DSW stores. The store is spacious and well lit with warmer lighting. This store also has more seating in the aisles. The several times I’ve been here the store was kept up really well, and there were plenty of people around to help if you needed it.
Got a great pair of Mizuno running shoes this last time. I was able to try on a whole bunch of sneakers and run around the store without any problem. Probably looked silly but eh, who cares?!

For many years I had visited the DSW at Walden Galleria and then decided to try this location. A new interior design, better selection and pretty good signage. I have always liked their selection of shoes to purchase, but this location is much larger. If I need to score a pair of shoes across the border, this will be the place to be.

DSW no longer on Maple Road? Who knew?
Made a stop at the new location on Sheridan (where Old Navy used to be) and it was great! The new space is huge and isn’t as sterile and warehouse-​esque as the old DSW. I liked the natural wood and painted brick design touches. Finally Buffalo is catching up on the modern updated retail store trend!
There’s a huge selection of both men’s and women’s footwear and the new space is oh-​so-​nice, shiny and new. So glad this plaza is getting a make-​over!

I just love this store. I scored a pair of designer boots for $ 15!

This one seems to not be as picked over as the Galleria store. Obviously, less foot traffic than the mall! Much more convenient. OH SHOES, how I love thee! ;)

One thing that I love about the Buffy – you can always find good designer shoes at this DSW. I scored a sweet pair of Stuart Weitzman shiny black patent leather wedge heels for $ 50 this weekend.
I’m still hiding from my husband the other 3 pairs that I bought. Shhhh, don’t tell him!
