Legendary service, shoes to die for and fashion-forward merchandise keep shoppers returning.

In Short
Founded as a Seattle shoe store in 1901, this popular chain is now known for manageably priced designer duds. Shoppers find a hint of sophistication in the store's white floors and pianists on baby grands. Unique departments include the Brass Plum juniors' section with Ruby Rox and Diesel, and Studio 121 for career-savvy women. A business-centric men's clothing department offers Ben Sherman suits, while relaxed styles from Marc Jacobs and Lacoste are in The Rail department.

Every girl loves Nordstrom's Shoe department

by finzup

Whether you admit it or not, you love the shoe department at Norstroms. Sure, the Salon shoes are pricey but you can't help but walk through and gawk. Seriously, the shoe department at Nordstroms puts all others in the mall to shame. Watch for their sales too.

The rest of the store is decent as well. I love how the sales associates really act like they want to be there helping you. A little butt kissing goes a long way. I have never received bad service at Nordstoms (even when shopping the sale racks).

• Pros: Great service, fantastic shoe department
• Cons: Not enough sales :)
