Von Maur felt different walking in. At first I was intimidated by how classy everything looked and felt, I was worried it was going to be too expensive. But I was greeted warmly and nonconfrontationally as I approached by Todd, who was very attentive to what I was looking for and very knowledgeable about the shoes in stock, on clearance, and in his own personal experience.
He helped me find two comfortable pairs of shoes with great versatile styles, each for about half what I would expect to pay. I certainly didn't expect a place with a live piano player to have the least expensive shoes in the mall.
Todd is a great salesman, but never made me feel pressured. At one point he brought out a new pair from the back, and I thought "here comes the upsell." But the pair he was bringing out were the cheapest in the store -- even he was surprised. He had just recommended them because he thought they were the right shoe for what I was looking for. Turns out he was right.
It's a shame I do this kind of shopping so infrequently, because Todd himself is a real find. I couldn't find anyone in the store at that moment to praise him to, so here's a Google review. Thanks again
