Nordstrom's quality brand-name clothes at bargain-basement prices.

by Robyn Galbos

In Short
Home to Nordstrom's overstock and occasional factory irregulars, the Rack draws fans of the upscale department store with brand-name apparel (DKNY, Kenneth Cole, Lucky Brand) that is as much as 75 percent off original retail prices. Shoppers snatch up clothing, home accessories and bath products, but the ever-changing shoe selection is a big draw: Customers try on shoes from the racks, then head to a counter where a salesperson retrieves the mates.

Feeding my shoe addiction

by robyngalbos_citysearch

I don't know what it is about this store, but I can't seem to walk out without buying at least two pair of shoes. One never seems to be enough, especially if I'm getting a great bargain. The clothing selection is iffy--fine one visit and horrible the next. My husband has found very nice jackets here, though, and the tie selection is fairly good. But the shoes ... go for the shoes.

• Pros: Parking, Good bargains
• Cons: Uneven selection, Long lines
