Working in the shoe department has its perks and obviously cons. Being at work 90% of the week you learn about your product. I can literally look at any shoe and tell you if Greenwood Macys has had it since I've been there. I can tell you what brands we do and don't carry. I can tell you just by looking at a shoe if it's going to hold up for you. I can just look at a box and tell you the brand name. I can be off work and out in public and just look at someone's shoes and tell you the brand, the name and the price for them. Some people would say I have no life but I like to think that I take my job very serious.
1. Michael Kors
I personally think the brand is wayyyyy to over priced. Their material isn't even that great, honestly. I mean, come on, the only reason people even buy them is for that MK on it. You buy a $225 boot that has a TINY little MK on it and it will most likely last you four months or you can buy a $80 boot that looks ALMOST the same but it doesn't have the MK. All you are buying is that MK. From working at Macy's for a year now the most shoe brand I return is probably MK. I don't recommend.
2. Calvin Klein
Their shoes are actually okay. Good quality and reasonably priced. They have some really cute heels but I couldn't walk in them at all. Their boots though are probably my favorite but that price just ain't cute whatsoever. I hear nothing but good things about them from my customers. I do recommend.
3. ClarksThis brand is more for comfort than looks. It is more for older people who need that comfort. Don't get me wrong, they do have a few styles that I would wear. I have tried on a few pairs of them and they feel like you are walking on clouds literally. Clarks would probably be our top three best sellers. I never hear anything bad about them other than we need more colors. I do recommend.
4. Dirty Laundry
Yes, you read that right there is a shoe brand named dirty laundry. I'm not sure why someone would want their shoe brand with a name like that but hey it sells. Their shoes aren't that comfortable. It's more heels that are so high they reach the sky. If I'm buying shoes I would love for them to at least comfortable. I do not recommend.
5. Nine West
I absolutely love this brand. I have a few pairs of their shoes. Cute and affordable what else could a girl want? Other than wanting a new handbag of course. I do recommend.
6. Born/ B.O.C
Cute shoes but on the pricey side. I'm telling you though, THEY ARE TO DIE FOR. They are also one of our comfort brands which are a plus. I have a pair of boots I got last year and I wore them every day and they are still in such good shape. If you don't mind spending a little extra money on shoes that could last I do recommend.
7. 143 Girl/ Rampage
Cheap shoes that won't last long. They aren't that comfortable and cheaply made. If you just need a pair of shoes for one night and don't want to spend a lot them they are your go to. I personally am not a big fan even though I do have two pairs of combat boots from them I just wear them once in a blue moon but I have to wear an insole from finish line in them. I do not recommend.
