DSW sells women's, men's and kids' shoes from top brands, and its stores also repair shoes and bags.
The detail that shapes most orders is the free-shipping banner: carts of $75 or more ship free with the code shown in that site-wide banner, and DSW doesn't list the shipping cost below that line.
DSW belongs to Designer Brands Inc. Its range runs from boots, sneakers and running shoes to heels, flats, loafers, clogs, sandals and Mary Janes, with western boots, work and safety footwear, handbags and accessories on the side. Brands carried include Nike, adidas, New Balance, Skechers, Brooks, Birkenstock, Steve Madden, Timberland, UGG, Ryka and Dr. Scholl's.
The repair counters in its stores are operated by Cobblers Direct. Shoes, bags and belts can be dropped off without booking ahead. DSW VIP is a free rewards program, and money spent on repairs earns points as well.

More about shopping at DSW
DSW VIP
The free rewards program earns points, including on shoe repair services done at DSW stores.
Email sign-up
New email subscribers get 10% off, a standing offer that runs apart from the time-limited banner promotions.
Remote addresses
Remote locations and APO/FPO addresses take extra time, so order those well ahead of when you need the shoes.
Gift cards
DSW sells gift cards under separate gift card terms, so read those before giving a card in place of a pair of shoes.
The current 20% off promotion covers regular-price styles and runs through Oct 11 in 2026, so check whether a pair is marked down before expecting it to apply.
Free shipping on $75+ uses a separate banner code, and new email subscribers get 10% off on top of the list sign-up.
Whether the banner codes combine isn't stated, so try both in the cart and keep the lower total.
Tax follows the delivery address, or the store's location for pickup orders, which can shift the final number when you switch methods.
More ways to save at DSW
DSW VIP costs nothing and earns points, including on drop-off repairs of shoes, bags and belts by Cobblers Direct at DSW stores, no appointment needed.

Free in-store pickup skips shipping on carts under $75; same-day pickup needs the order by 6 p.m. or four hours before closing.
Gift cards are sold under separate gift card terms.
If a pair sits outside the regular-price promotion, the 10% off for new email subscribers is the standing discount left to try.
