Shoe Stores in Vernon Hills, IL

“I am a bigger guy. However, I really don't care about all the crazy fashion that crops up every season. I just want nice looking jeans, button down shirts, and 1/2 zip and hoodie sweatshirts to fit right. For awhile, some stores had good clothing for plus size people. Kohl's carried a couple brands that were stylish and fit well, but then they stopped carrying them only to re-introduce those same brands with ill-fitting plus size options. Marshall Field's had a few items which became Macy's, and they had fewer still. The Winston Box, a monthly subscription mail order service boasts a way to find great options for any plus size and truthfully, they never sent items that fit well.

However, DXL (a.k.a. Destination XL) has always had options that work well with my body type. I'm a Polo fan and not a big fan or their house brand, Harbor Bay. With that being said, Harbor Bay's t-shirts and jackets are awesome and fit great.

DXL always has new options and brings in new brands that offer nice options such as Vineyard Vines, Psycho Bunny, Robert Graham, and more. Lately, I love the Lucky Brand jeans as they fit so well, and recently purchased the softest, most comfortable Vineyard Vines hoodie (actually, wearing both the hoodie and jeans right now).

Plus, DXL offers workout closes, casual clothes, dress clothes, suits, shoes, and accessories.

Lastly, the Vernon Hills location (close to me) has such a wonderful staff. Over the years, their staff has changed, but they are very friendly and always offer to help you find what you're looking for or are happy to remains hands off and let you do your own shopping. And they remember you whether you frequent them often or your visits are limited to a few times a year. I hardly visit any other store and if they don't have something in their store, they are happy to reach out to other locations to help you find your size and color you desire. I love this place!”

“I ordered the same earrings online twice and Both times the color was wrong but the item number was right! I decided to call a loft store near me and spoke with Kylie and later Sue who at first didn’t have the right color in the store but will look in the stock room later. Usually that where it ends because no one ever calls back but they did and found the correct color! This was an exceptional act of kindness!”

“Absolutely love this place for baby clothes! Everything is usually on sale for a great price. I was having troubles picking out a gift for a friend’s baby, the wonderful lady who was working, who I forgot her name, was super helpful, super attentive, and gave me many options to chose from (which were all hard because all the clothes are so cute!) Definitely come here if you’re looking for baby items! Cannot recommend enough.”

“Amazing team! Bill, Amiel and Lynn worked patiently on my return which shouldn’t be hard. I hope DSW fix or update their system for their own benefit, employees and customers!”

“Friendly staff who greeted us promptly and asked if we needed help, clean, well-stocked store. Couldn't make up my mind on a couple different pairs, but I'm coming back to buy soon.”

“Nordstrom Rack in Vernon Hills is a shopper's paradise! The store offers a great selection of high-quality brands at unbeatable prices. The layout is easy to navigate, and I always find fantastic deals on clothing, shoes, and accessories. The staff is courteous and attentive, making the shopping experience enjoyable. Whether I’m looking for something specific or just browsing, this place never disappoints!”
