Crown Vintage at DSW vs Amazon

DSW has the full Crown Vintage range and frequent sales. On Amazon you will find only a few pairs, so the alternatives above are the easiest way to get the same style with Prime shipping.

Who Makes Crown Vintage Shoes?

Crown Vintage is a private-label brand of Designer Brands Inc., the company behind DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse. That is why most people find Crown Vintage boots and shoes at DSW stores and on dsw.com rather than at other retailers.

The look is vintage-inspired: distressed and burnished leathers, suede, stacked heels, buckles and lug soles, styled for everyday wear rather than formal occasions.

The women’s range covers ankle booties, Chelsea and wedge boots, tall riding boots, loafers, flats, wedges and gladiator sandals. Men’s Crown Vintage shoes include chukka and Chelsea boots, sneakers and cap-toe oxfords.

Prices usually sit between fast-fashion and premium leather brands, and DSW sales and rewards often bring them lower.

Many styles use genuine leather or suede uppers, but some use synthetic materials — check each product description if real leather matters to you.

Because Amazon stock is limited, this page pairs the Crown Vintage models with similar boots and shoes from Clarks, Lucky Brand, DREAM PAIRS, Blowfish Malibu and others.
