DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse

I went in and asked a question the two girls didn’t know and they went out of their way to answer it for me! Great customer service and very friendly. That’s what I look for while shopping, thank you!

Let me begin by saying I am a low budget type of guy. I care even less about what is fashionable.
However, I have to make myself presentable for work Monday to Friday and that involves decent shoes. I used to frequent Payless Shoe Source, but that is now even too «low budget» for my standards. DSW has a very broad selection, and has some good quality name brand footwear at affordable prices.
This store is massive and every time I go in here never seems busy. I always find a new pair of shoes and am walking out in 10 minutes. That is a definite plus.

This is a huge store where the items are on display in shelves and you help yourself to the ones in your size stacked beneath them. The prices are quite good, and the rewards program supplies excellent coupons and discounts. If they don’t have your size, the rewards program works with their online store, or they can look it up for you at another location.
The greatest variety is in women’s dress shoes. There are also a lot of dress boots and sandals, but less available in more practical styles. I have not explored the men’s shoes, and I don’t think it’s a great place to buy sneakers because you won’t get the advice you would get at an athletic store.
You will not find the most fashion forward items here, for that you must go to Nordstrom’s, but if you need nice shoes for work or to match a dress for a special occasion, the values and selection are excellent. You can also find bags, wallets, socks, and similar items. Service is friendly.

One of the primary reasons I love this DSW above all others is the same reason some reviewers dislike it. Although I have been a lifelong fan of DSW I find that alot of their stores are dominated by absurdly tall high heels. Border line hooker heels tall. Some of them will have 3 huge rows for those alone, while only 1 – 2 for all the other formal and business casual styles. Even in winter.
This one has a much better balance — they have the trendy tall heels, but they also have a wide selection of smaller work appropriate heels and flats. I love this because it means I can come here to find shoe greatness no matter the occasion or style needed!
The Woburn Mall itself is kind of sad and run down — but this store is the exact opposite. I actually appreciate its location in the mall because parking is always, without fail, a breeze. The store is a short walk from any of the entrances and is decently sized, although perhaps a bit smaller than a lot of their locations. I usually don’t see more than 2 people working on the floor at once but that’s just fine by me as I like to browse and shop solo. Never had a problem finding someone to check me out, there’s always been at least one person behind the counter.

Had a $ 20 coupon to use. Need running sneakers but could not find anything I liked. I could of easily bought more flip flops but my budget was for sneakers only. Still have coupon.

The Woburn Mall is a pretty awful shopping center, but I was excited that they had a DSW. Unfortunately, it was way smaller than any other DSW I’ve ever been to and the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There was dried feces on the floor… dried…obviously nobody had cleaned the bathroom in a long time. It was so dirty and gross. I tried to find a clerk to let them know about the bathroom problem, but there were just two at the front, facing the back and talking to each other so I just left.

I’m not a fan of the Woburm Mall itself, but this is definitely one of the better stores inside. The stock definitely seems more expansive than some of the other locations, even though the store itself seems kind of dull and dark.
There’s tons of stock here! The clearance at the back of the store can stretch pretty far too which is promising. I had trouble finding a clerk to help me, but it was pretty busy. I’ve never actually had much success at this particular location, but maybe I just haven’t hit it right.

This location is super impressive. It is huge and their selection in the clearance racks extensive. The staff was incredibly attentive and were quick to put items back in order. I never came to the sad Woburn Mall before, but this DSW would warrant me a return visit.

This is the store I visit for a majority of my business casual and formal shoes. The selection is large and the prices are reasonable. I usually find at least one pair to purchase whenever I visited.

I hardly ever write reviews but after my experience yesterday, I thought it was necessary. Long story short, the manager Andy is awesome.
I lost a gift card that was issued in March and I was hoping there was a way I could get them to reissue me another one (even though in the back of my mind I was thinking that was impossible). With no questions asked Andy made sure everything was taken care of. He went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Thanks Andy!

I grew up relatively near here and had no idea for years that such a place existed. I’m embarrassed to think that I used to claim that Aldo was a reasonably priced shoe store.
You get really good prices here, and I’ve had very good luck so far finding things that are exactly what I want. And I am picky! I found a fabulous pair of golashes there, as well some perfect flats. Had some trouble finding winter shoes — but then again I always do. The clearance section is fantastic — I found some shoes that I couldn’t NOT buy for that price. Oh god, am I that person? Yikes.
Not to mention they have good prices on things like socks (is it just me, or are socks always more expensive then you think they should be?), and adorable hats, as well as a selection of tights and purses. It’s like shoes and accessory store for job. It is for the win!

Amazing selection of shoes. By far the biggest selection around.
Staff is always friendly and helpful but not pushy. Store is organized and well stocked which I really appreciate.
Also, the clearance or mark down section of this DSW in particular seems to be that largest that I’ve seen. i’ve gotten some unbelievable deals back there. make sure you hit up that section before you go.
Also, I signed up to get a rewards card awhile back and I am constantly getting either $ 5.00 or 20% coupons in the mail.

This is a great DSW! Tons of selection and I always seem to be able to find something in the clearance section here! Awesome Awesome Awesome!

Shoes, shoes, SHOES!
This DSW is shoe heaven! Unlike Off Broadway, DSW offers more stylish shoes and some eclectic, edgy options, which I love. After signing up for the member rewards card, I keep receiving $ 10-​$ 20 coupons to use towards my purchases, which is great. This location is always organized and usually has a good selection of sizes. The salesgirls are really helpful also. Although located in the cruddy, outdated Woburn Mall, DSW makes driving there well worth it!
The array of flats available are great, with some basic ballet flats to more fashionable patent leather flats with awesome ankle straps. The selection of heels is fantastic as well, depending on which height you are looking for, you can find a pair of pumps for any occasion.
The clearance section in the back is fantastic, offering a really nice variety of shoes, sneakers, and boots. and not ugly, reject shoes. there are actually wearable styles in there. I’m getting all excited just thinking about… oh, shoes. how I love thee!!!

I do like DSW. It’s huge. The inventory is enormous. The prices are great and they have that DSW-​clearance section in the back. It’s just awesome. I found some decent outdoorsy sneakers here last week and my girl found some nike sneakers she liked. This is a great place to shop for shoes — you’ll always find a good deal. I can’t get over the size of this place — it’s like the shoes go on forever…

In theory this should be some kind of orgasmic heaven to me. But you know what? The last 2 times I’ve been here I didn’t find one damn thing I wanted to buy! I’m not sure if its all DSW or just this one but they do not carry very many HIGH heel shoes. I mean like 3 and up. Just a few pairs and they are like purple and orange. I need like Brown, Black & maybe gray pumps– and I’d like. 40 to choose from. But I guess that’s just insane.
So I just drove to Broadway Shoe in Danvers. They had a few more of my style.
DSW=great for flats and sensible foot ware– not great for cfm office wear.
I still continue to go– Because I’m a woman and its in my blood.
AND becuase there is a Panara Bread in this lil mall. *heart*

I love this DSW! Has to be one of my favorites. It’s inside the Woburn Mall, which is old and crappy and pretty much this is the only store worth stepping into. There’s a Papa Gino’s, Home goods (which is also good), CVS, etc etc. who cares? SHOES!
There’s a separate Clearance section, and it’s HUGE! The only complaint I have is that when I shop in that section, I’m there for HOURS. Some people can’t read, and put my size 8 ½ in with the 6’s, and sometimes the 11’s. HELLO?! Put shit back where it belongs. Asshats. There’s a separate price checker for that section too, which is great. It helps me control my spending (to a certain degree, anyway)
The rest of the store is laid out beautifully. boots with boots, flats with flats, mens section in a corner! haha. it’s pretty nice.
Make sure you’re signed up for their customer appreciation deal — I get $ 10 reward certificates in the mail ALL the time. they burn a hole in my pocket. I can’t ever keep them for more than a few days!
Staff is great here. no attitudes!
