DSW Late March Tiered Sale

March 26, 2012 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

$10 off $59,$20 off $99, and $35 off $149 with NEW2SPRING

Codes Expires 3/31/12.  Don’t forget the free shipping code SHIPR for orders over $35.

DSW’s “rewards” program might be the best of it’s kind on the web.  All it is is an email list.  No credit card, no card of any type, minimally invasive, and the rewards are pretty decent.  Free shipping all the time with SHIPR as long as you’ve purchased $35 or more (which is plenty easy to do.)  And then every so often, one of these tiered sales comes along.  Three different spending thresholds, and the code NEW2SPRING is certainly stackable with the SHIPR free shipping code.  Picks from new arrivals as well as some familiar favorites are as follows:
.

Mercanti Fiorentini Cognac Wingtip – $114.95 ($149.95)
High hopes for these.

Further proof that the DSW rewards program is one of the nicest out there.  A lot of brands would artificially drop the price on their goods, just so it would fall under the highest threshold.  Not these.  The code seems to have been perfectly fitted for their brands pricing.  The full $35 off.  Appears to have the same good but not bullet-proof construction of other Mercantis.  True oxford lacing.  Made in Italy.

 

Kenneth Cole Take Your Time Penny – $89.95 ($109.95)
Sleek with a rounded toe.

Blocky these ain’t.  Give KCNY credit.  There’s a lot of dislike for the brand out there, but sometimes they get it right.  This time, it’s the overall shape of this penny loafer.  Sockless (or with no-show socks) with a light grey summer suit should be just enough unexpected sharp contrast to give you more of an all business look.  Jeans too.  There does appear to be a bit of upturn in the toe, but it’s not wildly severe.

 

Florsheim Vincent Wingtip – $79.94 ($139.95)
Sizes are understandably going fast.

Whoa.  Talk about a price drop.  Sizes are limited but there’s some common ones left.  These were $115 not that long ago, and they look an awful lot like the Veblen.

 

Mercanti Fiorentini Black Cap Toe Oxford – $114.95 ($149.95)
DSW's bad MF (That's Mercanti Fiorentini thank you.)

Just like the wingtip up top, these fit the price threshold perfectly.  A true oxford with a nice modern touch with the lines around the laces.  Also made in Italy.  Now if they only made one in brown.

 

Converse Jack Purcell in Grey + No Show Socks Combo = $54.90
Get the socks. You'll pay more if you don't.

Grey Jack Purcells go with just about everything, and they’re perfect in the summer if you’re not keen on boat shoes.  But the $54.95 price isn’t enough to get a discount.  Drat, right?  Curses.  But wait a minute… converse makes a three-pack of no-show socks that cost $9.95.  So, if you simply get a pack of those, you get the socks for free and save five cents.  A WHOLE NICKEL.  There’s plenty of color options for the socks.  Just jump over to the socks section and you’ll find all the colors to choose from.  JPs also available in white or navy.

 

Mercanti Fiorentini Double Monk + $9.95 Socks = $114.95 ($139.95)
They say this color is cognac? Black also available.

Again, the socks.  The shoes are regularly $139.95, so unless you get a set/pair of $10 socks, you’ll actually pay $5 more.  So get thee some socks for Pete’s sake.  For the record, the pair I got back in October are doing quite well.

 

Varvatos Hipster Chukka – $89.95 ($109.95)
Weekends.

Who you callin’ a hipster?  They say these “compare” to $180, and they do in fact go for that over at Bloomingdale’s.  Varvatos is a big name to some.  They look a little sleeker than a standard Clarks, but a desert-looking-boot all the same.

 

Gucci Suede Moc – $214.95 ($495)
And there they are.

All right all you bit-loafer defenders.  Gucci is the standard here, and while $215 is no small fee to pay for a pair of suede loafers, they are the real deal.  Relatively inexpensive.  Relatively.

The $10 off $59, $20 off $99, $35 off $149 code NEW2SPRING exp. 3/31, and you have to join their email list to use it.

    SHIPR code doesn’t work.

    Code wasn’t working earlier but works now.

    It only works for DSW Rewards members. Did you make sure to sign in with your number?

    I just picked up the Floorsheim Vincent Longwings yesterday in SF Union Square DSW. I payed 60 out the door because of they had stackable discounts and were clearing out all merchandise to move locations. I’m very happy with them at that price point.

    Nice, picked up those Mercanti’s for $100 after my rewards stuff. If the quality isn’t good, I’ll just bring them back to the store.

    I thought those WERE Veblens… weird

    BTW, the wingtips were a bit of a let-down, got ’em in this week….the color variance on the shoe as opposed to the photo is off…two different shades of brown.

    I bought those Vincent’s the other day.  Can anyone advise as to the proper care for a shoe like that?
    Shoe care in general might make a good subject for a post in the future, Joe.  Overall the website is great.

  9. Joe says

    March 26, 2012 at 9:46 AM

     Yep, so did I Jason.  No idea why the name change, but it sure looks like the exact same shoe.

    So tempted on the Guccis! No way to justify it though.

    I’m pretty sure they are Veblens, but without the Goodyear welting.

    Do you know if this is still going on? Its just a walk from my office.

    Grey Jack Purcells are much cheaper here:

    10% off Coupon Code: SHOEMETRO10
    DSW does offer a better return option, since they have physical stores around country.

    Hello Gucci Loafers!

    Thanks for the link. I have a pair of these I love.

    I also own a pair of the Hipster boots in another color. They are definitely nicer looking than my Clark’s, but aren’t quite as comfy. These are a good deal for the price though.

    I bought the Varvatos at retail … spent $198, now they’re 90? I feel like I threw away $100… Love them though

  17. Callum says

    March 26, 2012 at 3:41 PM

    Damn, bough those Mercanti Fiorentini Wingtip’s last week for full price and they didn’t have 11’s so I got 11.5’s…

  18. Johnny says

    im wearing the varvatos hipsters right now, purchased them in black calfskin at nordstroms for full price, very comfortable, made very well, joe couldn’t have been more spot on with his description of a slimmer desert boot, very happy with my purchase

    I think the store in union square closed today or yesterday and is in the process of moving all the merchandise two blocks down on powell and sutter. Which should b right after Victoria secret store and accross from sacks 5th. I was told they will shut down old store for 3 days and reopen @ new location Thursday. I’m no longer visiting SF anymore, as I reside in Fresno. But I do visit frequently for shopping sprees

  20. Jarmar Dupas says

    March 26, 2012 at 9:39 PM

    Went and tried those on today at a local DSW… the color in the photo is significantly off…

    What’s your opinion on these as compared to the Mercanti monks? http://www.dsw.com/shoe/savile+row+co.+double+monk+strap?prodId=230967&category=dsw12cat440001

  22. Joe says

    March 27, 2012 at 3:22 PM

     I prefer the Mercs myself: https://dappered.com/2012/01/in-person-the-150-double-monk-strap/

    just got the last pair of the Vincent wingtip. It looks very much like the Veblen and according to florsheim website it runs 1/2 size bigger than usual. can any one confirm this cuz I ordered 1/2 size smaller than my usual size.
