DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse

A great place for shoes. They have a fantastic selection, from budget to high end. The store is very organized and easy to navigate. The clearance areas are well marked and very organized, so much so my wife and I were able to get new shoes for the price that one pair of sneakers usually cost. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is good place for kids shoes also. I would highly recommend this store.

So if you’re a woman with large feet don’t bother with Designer Shoe Warehouse. They are advertising themselves as the largest shoe store in Edmonton. Some large shoe store. Despite their size they are really just more of the same. So if you’re a girl with a shoe size outside of 6 to 10 this store is just apparently not for you. Its weird that a place advertising them self like this has a large amount of a limited selection. Imagine a bar b que store that only carries three sizes of grills and snubs the rest. Also the staff is oh my god levels of rude. They treat their customers like pests burdening them. It may have been transphobia due to me being trans but since they didn’t say anything directly to that effect I can’t be sure. It may have been transphobic treatment targeted at myself or it may be they treat all their customers this shitty. I had one attendant who I asked if they had size 13s and he asked women’s while rolling his eyes. So who knows maybe he just has awful attitude. Either way I won’t be going back and I’m going to leave negative reviews for them. So if you’re a girl with average feet and you can put up with their awful customer service than I guess they maybe for you but otherwise I would suggest just keep walking.

Love this place! The first location in Edmonton is located in West Edmonton mall on the second level by Sears. When you walk in you can’t help but feel the excitement as you see all the shoes and purses.
On the right side there many styles of purses in different sizes with brands ranging from Guess, Nine West, Kenneth Cole and the Sak just to name a few. Off to the right of that is the men’s section with many choices of sandals, runners and dress shoes. At the back is the clearance area which is sorted by sizes, here you will find all types of shoes marked down by coloured dots indicating a discount from 20 to 70 percent off! There is also a selection of purses.
All you see is women’s shoes in the rest of the store! Ranging from fancy dancy great for a wedding or grad shoes to going to the beach sandals of runners for the gym. There is more than one color in the same style. You can see the sample shoe and then help yourself to find your size, the boxes are located under each shoe on display. There are sales people on the floor but no one is harassing you while you shop.
I would give five stars however the three times I have purchased something, the line is very slow. There were two cashiers with customers and they should have called another one. On your receipt is a website to complete a survey and you can get $ 10 off your next purchase made within 60 days.
Everyone should check out this store, I’m sure you will find something you like! I love the Nine West styles!

I went on opening morning to DSW in West Edmonton Mall. They occupied a space upstairs by Sears and for opening day, they were giving away $ 25 gift cards to the first 200 people in line at 8AM. I wasn’t able to check it out that early but when I arrived around 10:30, there was a steady stream of people coming in and out of the store.
When I entered, I was given a water bottle (one side of the label had DSW and the other said ‘I’m a shoe lover’) and candy bag with white mint, red berries and licorice, and black licorice. What an unique and fun way to show off their colours!
I haven’t been to a DSW before, and wow! I was impressed with the layout of the store. It’s big and bright. From the left wall, it starts with rows of ladies’ dress shoes (lots of pumps to look and choose from), sandals, casual, running shoes, and men’s selection, which isn’t as big as the ladies.
The shoes are nicely displayed with the price (and suggested price) to show the savings. Under the shoe are the boxes organized and sizes easy to spot. If the store was crowded, I could imagine the aisles getting congested with people bending over to find their size and people walking by. There didn’t seem to be many stools to sit on for trying on though.
Just to the right of the front entrance is a wall and display of purses. It’s not a large selection and I wasn’t aware of all the brands but did see Nine West and Kenneth Cole bags.
At the back of the store are the clearance racks. They are organized by size and they have a coloured sticker on the box. Each colour represents a percentage off the price of the shoes ranging from 20−70% off! There were good names including Skechers, Ivanka Trump, and Clarks. There’s also a wall of purses that are discounted too!
Not only do they sell shoes, but have a great selection of socks, and scarves. Next time you are looking for a pair or two of shoes, check this place out!
