Shoes Poll- Non Clicky

Where is your favorite place to buy shoes? In store? Online? Both? Curiosity has striken me.

Re: Shoes Poll- Non Clicky

  • I am the worst girl about shoes....I usually only shop at payless

  • My fav place is Nordstroms. About 80% of my shoes are from there. I just love their return policy. Years later you can return them, and they are fine with it! Amazing. I had some friends tell me a couple weeks ago that they use Zappo's religiously. I have glanced at the website, but have never ordered. Anyone try them?
  • online. most shoe stores now allow free shipping and free return shipping. i'll buy 10 pairs at a time and return them as necessary. (okay fine i've only done this once.). i *really* hate the mall, so i do my best to avoid it.

    I work with a lady that orders from Zappos weekly. She is always getting zappos boxes. I've ordered from them once and had great success.

    Indifferent Seriously?? You must be very nice to your shoes. Mine wear out, or seem to, pretty fast. I think I'm just rough on them. Money you save!!

    Nordstrom, for sure. The return policy is key on shoes.  

  • I am *obsessed* with shoes!  If I ever won the lotto, I'd go on a shoes-and-purse-buying spree!  I usually buy mine from Nordstrom or (occasionally) Nieman Marcus - they happen to be conveniently situated across from each other at the mall in Palo Alto, and I will literally haul myself all the way down there just to shoe shop since there is never anyone else in the store during the week.

    I love Neiman Marcus! And I love that Bellevue got one a few years ago. Big Smile

  • Nordstroms, but only specific ones like Alderwood Mall or Bellevue Square, sometimes downtown. The one at Northgate? Blows chunks.

    My favorite shoe shopping experience was the Manolo boutique in New York cause they seriously make you feel like a princess even when you come in just off an airplane and kind of sweating from the heat. :P I met this woman there who flies in from Texas twice a year to get fitted for and buy more shoes. I aspire to be that some day.

    Me too, but their AmEx only policy sucks.  I actually opened an AmEx card in part because I was so annoyed that I could only pay by cash / check there... so I guess that policy is smart on their part. 

    Is the one in Bellevue any good?  I haven't been there ever.  The one in Palo Alto is disturbingly nice, especially since it's technically on a college campus I think (it's the Stanford mall and it's ridiculous - who needs a LV and Neiman Marcus right next to their college?!?!).

    Yes it's nice! They are friendly when I go in there, which depends on who you talk to. I've had friends who thought they were standoffish. *Shrugs* They were nice to me! Big Smile

  • I buy nine west a lot because the outlet is ten minutes from my house..

  • Nordstrom followed by DSW. Rare occasions - Macy's. I ordered shoes from Zappos to try for my wedding. They were cute but designed poorly and their easy return was niiice.

    I'm in the same boat, haha. I only buy shoes every several years, unless I have a specific need that I can't address with my existing wardrobe (rare! I'm very consistent with my clothing choices, haha).

    I tend to shop at Nordstrom's in-person, or Endless.com for the interwebs, but I think my most-recent shoe acquisition was a pair of Sketchers Shape-Ups I got at the Sketchers shop in Northgate... I think two years ago? I bought 'em for walking around Vancouver during the 2010 Olympics, since I didn't have a decent pair of walking shoes and we sure as hell weren't going to drive around there.

    yeah.. seriously. i just haven't been buying anything extra unless necessary. we are seriously trying to pay our debt. it sucks but it'll be worth it.

  • I rarely buy shoes that are less than $40, unless they happen to be one Sale! Smile

    My favorite is Spring - http://www.callitspring.com/us

    I've bought my shoes here for years and love their styles.. the hardest part was that when I first moved here there wasn't a store that carried them. Now thankfully JCPenny does so I can just go there.

  • I really don't have a favorite place. I bought my favorite boots from Nordstrom though. So maybe Nordstroms. Smile

  • Nordstrom, I am a hard fit and they are really helpful!

  • I honestly don't care. I will buy from whoever has the shoes that I want. I can't buy shoes from payless though because I have never had a pair that didn't hurt my feet from there.
