shoeWoo

Sorry people with your five star review, this store is stupid.
First of all, the name, Shoe Woo? Seriously? That being said I can get past a dopey name (I shop at Lululemon for Christ’s sake!). But alas there were no shoes for me to woo here.
They carry mostly Nine West shoes. Here is a novel ideal, why not call the store, say… Nine West?! They have a relatively small selection (of mostly nine west shoes). The store is set up like an Elle Wood’s [rom Legally Blonde] fantasy. Not that she would shop in a store that was a nine west store trying to hide the fact it is, well a nine west store.
That being said there were a lot of sales staff on the floor to help me and I didn’t have to wait long for assistance. Probably because every major retailer sells nine west shoes, not counting the stand alone stores, so you don’t have to go to «Shoe Woo» to buy them and yes I tried on a pair of Nine West shoes in Shoe Woo. [bowing head in shame…]
Don’t think I will be Wooing any shoes from this store in the near future.

I’ve never left this place empty handed. not necessarily a good thing.
shoewoo always has some sort of sale going on, and the shoes are awesome! lots of nine west and rachel roy shoes. nothing tacky or cheap looking. really friendly service and you can always get helped. there’s nothing worse than standing around for ten minutes waiting for someone to get your size.

I love you, shoeWoo! Cutesy, girly décor. Woo! Super friendly staff. Woo! Size 11’s galore. Super Woo!

A tiny piece of heaven. Even if you just go for the décor, it’s worth it.
but WHY would you do that?
It’s a store filled with pretty shoes, pretty décor and there are always sales.
I feel like a little girl playing dress up, yet it’s for real.

I have no idea why I’m reviewing a female shoe store. Perhaps it was the outstanding customer service received at this establishment. Nevertheless, it’s a business, it can be reviewed; thus, I am impartial to rendering remarks.
Walking down Lexington Avenue, Rachel and I discovered a massive «25% off» display in the front of Shoe Woo. The following dialogue was conducted…
Chun: Do you see that?
Rachel: Yes! 25% Off! Can we go?
Chun: You do need flats. Let’s get «wooed by shoes»!
It is true, Rachel did need flats. It was with this reason alone that I «allowed» Rachel to enter Shoe Woo and to shop to her heart’s content.
*Note: I did not «allow» Rachel to go shoe shopping. For the record, I had no say in this matter. One way or another, Rachel was getting shoes. There’s not a thing I could’ve done about it.
The décor: With it’s «Sex and the City» picturesque interior, few would disagree that the ambiance of this establishment would render anyone spend a few coins (if not a few Credit Card swipes). At first entry, patrons are privy to the excessive (yet well balanced) combination of White and Bright Pink wall décor. The focus of all patrons should be in the center column of Shoe Woo. Towards the top of the column, patrons will observe a beautiful design of white painted shoes that are situated against the wall. The combination of shoes (in excess of 200) produces a subtle spiral going down the center column, a neat display to go with the establishment. Towards the back section of the establishment, a nice off color chandelier is place just 6 feet high from the ground upon a center seating area. All of the little details of the establishment help to produce an upscale yet amusing shopping experience.
The selection: I know nothing of womens shoes… All I can say is that there were over 20 pairs of «flats» available. How do I know there are over 20 pairs? Rachel tried EACH AND EVERYONE of them on.
*At this point in the shopping experience, I almost shot myself from a combination of boredom and utter frustration. Nevertheless, I kept telling myself to «calm down, if she’s happy, you’re happy».
Customer Service: Outstanding and extremely friendly. Our sales staff member, Mildred, was up to the task of helping Rachel locate various sizes of her selections. When a given size wasn’t available, she immediately brought another color or a different design that Rachel might entertain.
*Fast Forward 2 Hours Later*… Rachel found her flats! The perfect little pair of Cream & Black, Anne Klein «Sport» flats was discovered, and with that, a successful shopping experience was had.
At the Cash Register…
Employee: Your total is $ 51.75
Chun: :Stands in silence for transaction to complete:
Rachel: :Ah Hem…:
Chun: Aww, Dammit! :Proceeds to take out Credit Card:
Rachel: Thanks, Babe!
Chun: Yeah… I hope you choke on them
Employee: It’s ok, happens all the time.
2 hours of my life, $ 51.75 in the hole, and 1 review later, I still feel like I got hosed. But not by Shoe Woo, but by the girlfriend!

My shopping bag is laughing at me because I most certainly was not woo-​ed.
Heck, it wasn’t even close, not even like a little woo-​ed. Boo to shoe woo. After the freaking blizzard/​snow that sort of came out of nowhere, I finally decided to come out of hiding and venture out, what a terrible idea. It was chaos everywhere, and sure enough, within minutes, my feet were soaked, and I embarked on a journey to purchase some boots. As I walked into the brightly lit, spacious store, I was greeted with a feeble, «how ya doing» then… nothing else. Every sales I tried to flag down to get boots in my size was like pulling teeth, I had to walk UP to them, instead of having them come woo me. Looking for shoe sizes took forever, and they were unfriendly to the point that I almost almost felt like I was being a burden and causing them trouble. I had to remind myself that they were simply doing their jobs. Please, no need to put in the extra mile to woo me, but is it too much to ask for a friendly smile and some shoes? Hm
Desperate times call for desperate measures — and even though i was FAR from being woo-​ed, i still ended up buying a pair of boots to save my soaking feet.
C’mon shoeWoo. Dont put woo in the name and fail to execute.

I’ve been wooed.
Nothing here that you can’t find elsewhere (Nine West, Bandolino, Anne Klein, Enzo Angiolini, Sam & Libby, Joan & David, etc) but they’re all located in one store now. And because they just opened, they’re running a sale on 30% off all boots and booties.
