DSW

The Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW) carries big brands like Nike, Steve Madden, and UGG, so if you're looking for designer shoes, boots, sneakers, or sandals, this is the place to shop. The website has its area and a JLO collection that is a pleasure to watch. It may not suit everyone's taste, but there's no doubt about its reputation. DSW is one of the best in the range.

When you join the DSW Rewards program, you earn points for every dollar you spend. These points can be exchanged for gift cards, which is great. DSW only offers free shipping to VIP members, which is not the best. Exchanges are free and can be processed within 60 days with a refund of $8.50.

Another downside to DSW is that although the site has a well-populated 'Sales' section, it doesn't offer as many discounts as other shoe stores we've looked at. This is welcome but doesn't feel like an event, unlike the sales you see on other sites.
