I love being able to find my own shoes instead of having to wait for a salesperson to wander over and get them from some back room. At DSW, you can try on as many pairs as you want in your size and not feel guilty about it. They have a great selection, even in unusual sizes there are bound to be a few pairs in that size.
Prices are a little high, but it's not bad for high quality brand name products. They do have a sale section and a nice collection of handbags and other accessories as well.
