As a sales professional (at least I was for many years) and one hard edged shopper, I can tell you it's a fine line between allowing a customer to browse in peace and ignoring them. I don't like to be bugged, but I don't like being invisible either. If I had been working that floor I probably would have acknowledged you with a greeting and eye contact and tossed off, "Oh man! Shoe shopping is the best, eh? You take your time and have fun. If you'd like to try anything on give me a wave, okay?" and THEN let you wander and mull to your heart's content. But like I said, I was a professional. Not some minimum wage space filler. A high end retailer should know service makes the sale and staff accordingly, but they rarely do. ~LA
