Nice selection of shoes in various styles with a wide range of sizes. I got two pairs of shoes here recently. Really good service.

Holy crispy pata!

Here I was, eating my scrambled eggs and sausage and filling out the Travel and Leisure website's The Best City You've Ever Visited questionnaire, when all of a sudden the name of my most favorite shoe store in the world suddenly flashed in my head: Arthur Beren.

I'm far from being a retifist, but, man, do they sell great quality shoes. Better than Nordstrom's, you ask? While Nordies does have excellent customer service, Arthur Beren isn't as crowded, giving me the chance to peruse the Cole Haans to my satisfaction.

Now to be fair, I haven't shopped at Arthur Beren in a while, but I still have fond memories of dealing with the friendly staff, whose affable manner actually made me feel less guilty for plunking down major ducats on my kicks.

So perambulate your ass over to Arthur Beren today. Unless you live in Los Angeles like me. Then you'd have to fly.

I've been here a few times, and am always impressed with the customer service - this is a place where great customer service still exists! They carry a wide variety of high-end shoes, so the prices are up there, but the staff is knowledgeable about shoes, feet, fit, etc, and they have good sales. I went in with a friend who usually has a hard time finding large shoes - 12+ - and not only were we able to find a lot of options for her here, but the woman who helped us also made great suggestions and really knew the inventory well. She also waterproofed and stretched some of the shoes for us. It was great.

This is now one of my favorite stores. I just discovered it today (with help from Audrey B.). They have amazing service and a great selection of larger size shoes.

I had so many shoes to choose from once the saleslady was done bringing out all the fabulous size 12 shoes, I actually had to ask for a moment alone to sort through my choices. This is a 180 from what normally happens to me when I shop for shoes...

Me: "Do you have this in a 12?"

Salesperson: "HAHAHAHA. No."

Me: "How about an 11?" (cringe)

Salesperson: "No. We have this ugly shoe in a 10. Or you can look in the men's shoe section."

Me: "Waaaaaaaaaah."

Ok, I'm a fan of shoes and handbags but which female isn't?  My frien introduced this place to me years ago and I've been hooked ever since.  Great selection of great shoes and handbags.  Pricey?  Absolutely!  Worth it?  Absolutely!

Those who love this place already know this but they have awesome sales!  OMG, it's time to just spend spend spend and go on a spree!  Stick with the basics and you'll be styling in great quality shoes and handbags!

Oh, service is great too..tell them what size and color and they'll bring you everything under the sun and moon...even ones that you don't find on the sales floor.

Love it here, Morgan (sales guy) has been helping my family for over 20 years. He is so conscience of what each family member needs, he will go out of his way to call you when something he thinks you would like is in. Ask for Morgan, tell him Rachel sent you.

Probably one of the easiest shoe stores to shop in. They carried different brands that I like i.e. Prada, Ferragamo and even had some that my fiance` liked. Had a great salesperson, Tristan, but could tell that everyone there seemed really friendly. Tristan recommended a few things to me, but wasn't  pushy or anything. He has helped me a few times now. The store is just a great overall experience. Plus, every once in awhile I have been lucky with shoes on sale. Ask for TRISTAN, you won't be sorry! He is incredible!

This devil woman wears Prada, Paul Green, Taryn Rose, Mephisto, Beautifeel and I still have to try another brand, first time I saw this week, I forgot the name but will go back to the store and update this review.  I have a knee surgery abt 5 years ago and I really need to wear comfy shoes, Munro is my last resort which I buy at Nordstroms

They carry a large selection of Donald J. Pliner.  These shoes are sexy and comfortable.  Go for one of the semi-annual sales to find amazing bargains.  Or have Mama take you.
