Best place to indulge your foot fetish

DSW (that stands for Designer Shoe Warehouse) claims to have the largest selection of shoes in Boston. And with 42,000 pairs in 1200 different styles in stock, that's a claim that's hard to beat. Whether you're looking for Bruno Magli, Calvin Klein, Liz Claiborne, Via Spiga, or plain old Johnston & Murphy, this is the place to go. Two no-frills, warehouse-like floors keep the overhead down. Prices are typically 25 to 50 percent less than what you'd pay in department stores. And every $250 you spend snags you a $25 gift certificate good for your next purchase. Clearly, the store likes repeat business.

DSW, 385 Washington Street, Boston, (617) 556-0052.
