Is it really any wonder the sales staff are rude when the owner is the worst of all?
I was there recently (and really I should not have gone because I too know several designers that have never been paid by them) and their bad reputation is reflected in their lack of interesting lines.
They must need to change their suppliers all the time because as soon as I become a fan of a particular designer I don't see them there again the next season - this is what happens when the owners don't pay.

And the review from 'styleguy01" is so obviously written by the staff or owner.

this store is fantastic. men and women can get everything they need. no one around has anything this stylish!
AWESOME!

they may have great shoes but they don't pay their suppliers, so i wouldn't want to support a store like that. Plus shop assistants are really stuck-up‎

shoefty may have great shoes but they don't pay their suppliers because my friend is a designer in LA that sold to them, so i wouldn't want to support a store like that.
The shop girl needs to get over herself too.

Let me tell you-the best shop in New Orleans. I was in visiting some friends and had to visit this boutique that has gotten so much press in all of my favorite magazines. I was NOT disappointed! I haven't shopped this much in years. The amazing selection of clothes and shoes for men and women was better than any store in NYC. I made friends with the staff, and even stayed for a glass of wine. Everything i bought was shipped to me-on them-and it was waiting at my front door when i got home. I'm doing all of my buying with Shoefty from now on! Definitely worth saving your $$ for a trip to Shoefty
