DSW has never been my go-to place for shoes. However, they are dependable place to pick that pair of black flats you've been looking for since forever! I personally love Aldo at the Chandler mall because their styles are more unique or Zappos because their customer service and selection or amazing. DSW will have that pair of shoes you are looking for but I've never seen a great sale price here. The clearance section is usually a mark down of high-end shoes so you're still looking at $50+ for boring pair of heels. If I can't find a specific pair of shoes I'm looking for on sale I do eventually suck it up and go buy them for retail price at DSW.
