Nordstrom started as a shoe store I'm told so that department was bangin. I bought some $315 AGL Italian shoes for my daughter and also looked at some boots that were on sale from $615 down to $399. The shoes will be more practical, but I'm not sure my daughter is sold on the idea of paying $315 for one pair of shoes that I bought for her. The good thing about Nordstrom is that she now has $315 of credit with the store if she ever finds time to shop their sales then she can get several pair of good shoes for the one pair of shoes. Nordstrom does not have a time limit on their return policy! Nordstrom is great about hiring minorities snd so I was able to be waited on by a very professional and hispanic male who explained what to look for when buying shoes. I applaud Nordstrom's on hiring people that we can all relate to.
