Customer service in clothing stores

I went to a shoe store the other day and could not have been more annoyed with the employee hovering over my shoulder and following me around the store. every boot i tried on she would ask if i like it, if i need a different size, a different color and show me similar boots to what i was wearing. I just wanted her to leave me alone so I could look around and not feel pressured. She kept trying to convince me of how worth it it was to spend $100 on a pair of boots. I ended up leaving the store because she was so annoying when maybe i would have bout some if I didnt have to listen to her the whole time. Obviously, she was trying to do her job and be helpful and probably make some extra commission, so where is the happy medium? It is also no help when you are acutually trying to find something and no one is around to help you. But i think when it comes to clothing, most of the time you dont know what your looking for and need to scope it out. So it is painful when you have someone shoving things in your face. I have had experiences where I didnt know if something looked good and the employees, obviously tell me it does but it is reassuring.

Having you ever gone to buy something and had an employee hovering over your shoulder the whole time and got so annoyed you left? Wheres the happy medium?
