My favorite shoe salesperson is now a personal stylist so she is harder to find in the shoe department. However, I called her to find out she would be in today. I already taken Mamie P. to Colleen and she had been very successful in a shoe hunt. This time I was looking for classic work shoes. Right when I showed up, Colleen had gone on lunch so manager Antonio took care of me while I waited - by pulling shoes even outside of the salon shoes department and giving me a cold perrier.
FInally, Colleen was back and took over. i ended up ordering what Mamie got, Ivanka Trump low heel pointy-toe pumps, but in pewter leather which Nordstrom only has online. They should arrive in 5 business days. I am excited to have beautiful and comfortable closed-toe shoes for work and evening wear, especially now in the colder months. Because of the service and great brands, a trip to Nordstrom shoe department is always a great time!
UPDATE: A few days after this visit, Zappos.com lowered the price on the trump shoes. I called Nordstrom's customer service line and had my shoes that I will receive today price-matched and she credited the difference in price to my credit card. AWESOME!
