Square One- Midtown West ( Midtown Mall)

AGAIN, Yelp officially does not like the Midtown Mall ( it seemed OK to me, just not a really large mall)

BUT Yelper's like the stores there,  (with complaints)--so go figure

Everyone agrees this is a store more for price than quality, but you might be in the mind for that

    I'm going to preface that this is NOT THE STORE TO GET QUALITY SHOES! Wear them for one season and throw them out! You can't get too partial to $15-$25 shoes.

    BUT I do love this place. If you want to find shoes in a rush and you know you're only going to keep them for a little, this is your store.

    For you people who have sensitive feet, don't shop here.

    They have cheap coats and jackets during Fall and Winter time, I found a Michael Korrs jacket for $65 and a rain trench jacket for $20, so there is a range. I just found out that in the summer they have really cute dress and clothes and $10 jeans!

    Who said there isn't cheap shopping in NYC!

    Just one word. GLADIATOR!!!!

    What a steal!!! The best bargain for the gladiator sandals you can possibly find!! Where else can you find a $12  perfect knock-off of $60 Steve Madden studded gladiator?? (http://www.stevemadden.c…;path=|womens%20shoes|summer%20must-haves) Of course they are not leather, but who cares?? They are very comfortable and look just like the original one!! Most of  this summer's must-have gladiator sandals are around $12 and you will find many cheesy ones but you will also find some awesome pairs for sure. They are worth checking out!!! I ended up buying 3 pairs!! They made my day! Go before they are gone, go!!!

    Fucking LOVE this store!

    One of the sales associates helped me decide between 2 coats that I adored. She was really nice & helped me try it on & everything.

    So I ended up buying my winter coat here and only paid $60 damn dollas! Plus it was a Guess brand coat that makes Da Booty look FABULOUS!!! HOLLA!!!

    I like the prices & clothes selection but I can't fit into anything!!!!  If only you carried size extra small....

    The dressing rooms weren't bad though they could have used some hooks in there for purses & the like.

    I'd give this more stars if they carried things that actually FIT my skinny butt.  I tried on size small there & my items were too big.  Grrr!

    I know when this store was WAY better than now...
    They used to be on the basement floor and their shoe selection was much better.
    But now it ain't so official.
    They have a lot of coats,  good summer dresses and that hasn't changed.

    This is the place for coats. Since I discovered this store I no longer have to worry about where I will buy my coat for the winter or spring jacket. I got an awesome coat last winter from Chinese laundry, beautiful coat $50. The only thing I found wrong with it was that the belt was too long as well as the Jessica Simpson spring jacket I got for 60$ what a steal. I took a friend here and she nearly had a heart attack when she saw a vince camuto rain jacket for about $20. Highly recommend for coats.

    so, yeah, this place is the SHIT for coats.
    I am just saying.
    Seriously, they have great brands (Steve Madden, Miss Sixty, Buffalo, etc.) CURRENT SEASON coats for half price or less than you'll pay elsewhere. Fo serious.
    I got a beautiful black wool coat with studs and an asymmetrical zipper there for $65 with tax.
    I don't know how they get away with selling this stuff so cheap, but really, you can buy two or three coats here for the same price you'd pay for one down the street at Macys.
    The selection wasn't picked over or messy and they have a variety of sizes stocked (small to extra large at least...). I believe it's only women's coats but I may be mistaken...... Lots of styles, colors, and really, you can't beat the price. It's not designer but it's good enough! And cheaper than even TJ Maxx or Marshalls for the same brands. Service is much better here too. And efficient. It's not a glamorous atmosphere or shopping experience, but for the price? Who cares! I got a great everyday coat for an absolute steal and now I have about $200 left from my "coat budget" to waste on frivolous things like shoes!.. and maybe another coat! And booze and whores, of course.

    I guess people don't know about this place or assume they only have cheap plastic shoes...... I was only passing through to get out of the cold and stumbled on a gem!

    cheap, cheap, cheap!

    ugh! shoes! jackets! shoes! jackets! what was the limit i gave myself?
    agh f*ck it! everything is so cheap.

    and to be honest i bought a pair of expensive boots and they didn't last me half as long as my $30 boots from square one. i frequent this place like at least once a month.

    AND today i went there and all the winter stuff is on sale so i went a little nuts. go get the good stuff before its gone!

    The sales associates are only nice when you buy their stuff. I bought two $70 winter jackets from them and decided to return one of them because it didn't fit me so well. Their return policy was something like full return within 14 days and store credit afterwards.   My friend and I returned to the store the next Saturday trying to return the jacket. We got to the store 5 minutes before their closing time, and the associate already closed the cash register and refused to process the return. I said fine and took it back the next Saturday, only to learn that the 2nd Saturday is "Day 15". I tried to explain to them what happened last Saturday because I wanted a refund instead of store credit. One associate snapped at me and the other accused me: "Oh I remember you - you are the one causing trouble last Friday!" - Seriously if I was free and out in the store last Friday we wouldn't have had this conversation. The store manager also insisted that I will only get store credit. I asked if there's anyone else I can talk to about this, and she said no. My point is that I could've returned the jacket the Saturday before, and I had witness that we arrived at the store before their  closing hour - they shouldn't have refused service in the first place - and it was extremely unpleasant trying to reason with these people and getting called and accused of random things. You may not care about the customer service but I'm not going back there ever again.
