I made my first purchase from DSW of some UGGS Slippers. I specifically asked the store employee if these shoes were seconds or were made specifically for discount stores, and was told “no, we take a loss on the sale of UGGS, as this is one of our loss leaders to get people into the store.” Within 3 weeks these new slippers (worn only in the house) were failing — the fur lining in the insole was bunching up and pulling away from the edgesof the insole — it appeared to have never been bonded to the midsole except around the edges. I returned them to DSW for a refund, showing them the manufacturer’s defect in the shoe. This sales person said that these were indeed a cheaper discount line of the UGGS products (so the previous DSW employee had lied to me). She said that DSW is not the shoe’s manufacturer and therefore is not responsible for any defects. She very reluctantly agreed to give me STORE CREDIT for the purchase. I told them that I wanted my cash back for a defective shoe, but she flatly refused. Since DSW DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, I would NEVER again deal with DSW, as they don’t sell quality products and as a result, they refuse to support their customers with the products they sell. Beware!
