This review is for Destiny. She was really helpful today as soon I came into the store and asked her a question. I came in to see if they had the new Toy Story that just came out and was looking for a Buzz Lightyear shirt. She asked me for a style number and size and right away went to check for me. They didnt have the shirts but a cool jersey and I immediately got it. Just wanted to thank her for her customer service and help. read more

I don't know what happened to this store it use to be great with customer service, I come all the time. The other day I went there was one girl with ginger hair that is tall she was just on her phone I believe her co worker called her Dey, I looked at her with a shoe in my hand and she still didn't ask me if I need help she just walked away laughing on her phone. This tall dude was also on the floor and he just looked lost and didn't help me at all and was just working on something else. After that I just decided to put the shoe back and went to footlocker where they were able to help me and gave me five start customer service. Also this is not the first time I come in the store and the girl is on her phone and not helping people. Something should be changed. read more

Associate Dey is very condescending and rude. You need to hire people who want to help customers.

Decorated nicely, employees are either hovering around you or ignore you for the most part. Nice area made for Jordan's with decent prices. read more

Scored the Nike Retro Dunk Lows (aka Pandas)! The store was clean and the associates were helpful. Instead of buying the shoe with a mark up, I remember this Shoe Palace had them in stock but sold out. I went in and found them restocked and Nike will be dropping them again 09/26. Pandas are a really popular shoe so resellers like to wipe out inventory, shrink wrap and try to make $50 to $100 for sizing. I noticed the resale market crash so it is not as crazy as before. The Nike Retro Dunk Lows go with everything and are very comfortable. Thanks Shoe Palace. read more

Shoe Palace - Nike Dunk Low Retro aka Pandas are in stock! Got my size. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Santa Anita, California

Came in tonight about 30 minutes before closing and was told they were out of the shoe I wanted. A few minutes later, I noticed the same employee telling every single customer that they didn't have their size. What made it worse was seeing them smiling and laughing after customers walked away. It felt intentional and extremely unprofessional. If you don't want to help customers near closing time, just say that--but don't waste people's time. Be advised This store is run by children! Very disappointing experience read more

I came in the other day and I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received. I have never been given such horrible customer service before. There was two people that looked like managers in the front (guy with a buzz and a girl with ginger hair) they just kept talking to each other and never asked if I needed help with anything. They just looked at me and continued on with their conversation even though I had a shoe in my hand and needed a size. I had to go to the back of the store to ask one of the girls working for a size. And when I went to go leave, they had moved in front of the store and they were just laughing and giggling outside. If I could put zero stars I would. read more

Shoe Palace - We love this !! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Santa Anita, California

Horrible customer service - ignore as you when you walk in the store & employees focused on chatting it up No thank you read more

The store is dirty (the seating areas were wet and there was liquid on the floor could've slipped) shoes on display are dirty and the female worker that was there today 08.08.25 in the morning was rude and didn't seem to want to help out customers with shoe sizes. The gentlemen were polite and did offer good service. read more

Came in ready to buy a couple of items but left empty-handed thanks to the most clueless, lazy staff I've ever encountered. They had no idea what was in stock and couldn't be bothered to find out. It's almost impressive how little effort they put in--just standing around looking lost. This store could probably make decent sales if the employees weren't so incompetent, but instead, they provide an experience so frustrating that I walked out. If you're looking for customer service, go elsewhere because you won't find it here. Truly a waste of time. read more

Sunday 09/10 A bunch of employees that don't care about their job, or much less actual customers. Walked in their was 3 male employees playing around with a ball, as if they were on a basketball court. Then their was another male employee standing behind the counter popping his gum as if he was an annoying little 14 year old. Total lack of customer service, too bad for sure that store is losing money with those type of employees their. read more

Terrible service, this one girl with glass i believe her coworkers called her kass ? is very rude and she was so bad at responding back when i asked her a question. She was one of the worst employees from the store. I won't come back if she's still there read more

But wanted to give a shout out to Cynthia for taking care of me and Justin for takeing care of me on previous visits. 3. Until next time. Go Lakers-Clippers and keep the faith!!! Take care. Best, David read more

Shoe Palace - Showing off my Los Angeles Lakers spirit 1-27-20!!! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Santa Anita, California

Terrible customer service. Hardly anyone acknowledges you in the store. The other issue I had with this store is that they had a label on a shirt that said 2 shirts for $25 but then had another sign that said $30 for 2 shirts. If the staff fails to remove the $25 dollar label, the store should honor the price. The manager said, you can just leave it, someone else will buy. What a fine manager this store hired. How ridiculous! I've bought most of my shoes from this store in the past. Next time I am taking my money elsewhere. By the way, I did buy my daughter a pair of shoes that cost 120 dollars. This is the Last time you will get my money, Shoe Palace. Shoe palace needs Learn to lose 10 dollars to gain a customer that may end up spending thousands of dollars in their store. read more

So i just want to give a big thanks to Eric, no.17296 , when I came to the store he just gave us a big great vibe . I was all over the the mall trying to buy some shoes but he had a great attitude that I just want to come back ima get my kids shoes for them too thank you I haven't bought shoes in a long time like 3 years read more

Shoe Palace - Price doesn't matter but his smile behind that mask he made my birthday - Shoe Stores Near Me - Santa Anita, California

This is a nice spot, good-looking displays, and a clean store. However, I was disappointed that there are no basketball shoes for women, or even in boys' sizes of basketball shoes for me (a woman) to purchase. The staff was friendly, but not too educated about Jordans or basketball shoes. read more

Jason and his team are the best. He was able to help me find the perfect shoe for me. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to shopping here again. read more

Last week I went into Shoe Palace in Santa Anita Mall 400 S Baldwin Ave Arcadia, CA 91007 United States I walked in with my 5 year old holding my hand as we walked into the store 2 men (boys) were at the cashier talking to one another having a conversation (and I can assure you it wasn't work related) as I walked I had to excuse them from the conversation to ask what I was looking for..I politely asked where I can find kids basketball shoes and employee Tommy ID #301829 looked at the wall full of shoes and said "and" or "there" (I forgot what absurd reaction I got) I stopped my jaw dropped and was very insulted how a human being can talk to a customer (forget being a customer) how can someone talk to another human being like that. I quickly turned around and said "what do you mean there" and the gentleman (I believe might have been a manager) said "yo help him out man" and I immediately said I don't need your help. Stephanie Another employee helped me right after and this Tommy boy was starring me down the rest of my time at Shoe palace and mind you, you better believe I was also starring him down cause I am no one to be treated in that manner especially with my 2 kids and my Mother with me. I'm gonna need to speak to someone in general manager or whoever can help me solve this. I have the receipt of the items I shopped that day and haven't touched anything I bought or worn because I refuse to support such business like that. If there was a half star rating I'd rate it half a star only cause Stephanie was a polite human being. read more

Check prices, not as advertised. When brought to the manager's attention his response "customers change them, we can't catch them all" Good customer service is a dying art. read more

Awesome customer service! Totally would come back and buy from here easily. I went in today looking for a birthday and Father's Day gift for my husband. Felt lost at first, but luckily met Kenneth the store manager who was super helpful and patient. Never once made me feel silly and even explained the differences between the different models of their huge selection of New Balances! While checking out, the other staff were also super cool. Walked out with three pairs and can't wait for hubby to see! read more

Erick was absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful! They did not have the particular shoe I was looking for in stock and Erick went the extra mile without being asked and pulled up the nearby stores that did have it in stock, which was much appreciated. That kind of customer service is always appreciated! Thank you!! :) read more

Kenneth greeted and helped us to configure the store right when we walked in the front doors. He was helpful until we checked out and had great customer service! Will definitely be visiting this location again. read more

I happened to stop in on a whim just the other day. I was shocked that I received such awesome service. In the past, I'd visited but didn't really get any service, not good service and not bad service, just NO service. I was in on Air Max day and just kinda peeked my head in to see what was on sale, what was available, to check out new color ways and to see what might be available for me, baby & Papa. We like to be "matchy matchy" sometimes in photos. We didn't really find anything that we absolutely had to leave with but we did see some nice shoes. We don't care much for the available apparel right now but the selection was just OK. The sales person who helped me, whose name I wasn't able to catch, was super friendly and was able to answer all my questions. We talked about available sizes, color ways, comfort and fit of various styles of shoes, etc. He wasn't sure of some of his stock but didn't hesitate to run into the back to take a look and let me know. I wasn't expecting as much service as I'd received but I'm glad I stopped in when I did. The other sales person working wasn't real friendly. We said "thanks, bye." but he didn't say a word. Hmm, ok. He was so opposite the other sales person. That was a bummer but it's OK. I guess he thought it would be OK to kinda ignore us since we were leaving. Still, great experience at the store. I'll check back some other time. read more

I came to exchange a shoe, and as i stepped up to the cash register, i expected an employee to assist me right away. Instead, ONE and only ONE employee was working...and staring at us from the back storage with no notice. i stood there for 15 minutes waiting for someone to help me exchange a shoe from a 7.5 to a 6.5 LOL ridiculous. When an employee finally decided to tend to my needs, there was not a pen prepared for me to sign the receipt, and to make matters worse, they were so unhelpful and unenthusiastic about their job. So i stood there waiting for a pen smh Final complaint, they didn't give me a receipt until i asked for one, and it wasn't even the receipt. They gave me the proof of exchange LOL At least be enthusiastic, and apologetic about the delay. NOT EVEN THAT. read more

My new favorite shoe store. My wife has been ragging on me to buy new shoes for the longest. I first went to champs across the way but everything felt so cluttered. It was difficult for me to decide which shoe fit my style. Unfortunately I left and stumbled upon Shoe Palace. Right away I was able to easily look at all the shoes and look at their variety. The manager Eric helped me and was very kind and patient with all my different questions. He helped me decide on adidas's. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever felt! Maybe I should've listened to my wife earlier. Special thanks to Eric for the help! Jason T read more

Stopped by after my shift and everything else was closing or closed, Eric the manager was great and helped me find something I loved!! Managed to assist me in finding what I was looking for and at a better price! Definitely would recommend this place. read more

I went in and bought 2 different pairs of shoes and I didn't even wore or touch the shoes for at least a few days and when I try to wear them I noticed that both pairs paint started to peel and look scratch. I don't know if they sell knockoffs or what. I don't recommend buying shoes here. read more

I was trying to return 2 pairs of shoe I bought I paid cash I got to the store and they told me they were not able to do it becuse they didn't had the money if I would of known that I would of paid with a card I just wasted my time and have to go back later that's what they told me to do I don't have the time to keep coming back they should let the customer know ahead of time read more

This shoe store is amazing. The sales people are never pushy and they are extremely helpful. I bought three different pair of shoes, at three different times in one month, and each the salesperson was very kind and courteous. Very reasonably price shoes Will definitely go back. read more

This review is long overdue! I came to this Shoe Palace twice within the past two months and had the amazing opportunity to be helped by the Manager, Cynthia. She made sure I was comfortable, especially having a daughter that was running around the store trying to find the perfect kicks, she delivered! We chose out a pair of Airmax 95s and I was eyeing a pair to match with her. She was not pushy and offered to get out a pair in my size to try out. She even made sure she got a fresh pair from the back for my daughter, which I appreciated. Cynthia was so warm and welcoming! My second time at the store, I was surprised she remembered me and my daughter. I wasn't planning on purchasing anything but she mentioned to me that the Hello Kitty x Shoe Palace clothing was $10 a piece. What a deal! I grabbed a set for my daughter. Will definitely be a loyal customer and be looking out for Cynthia every time!!!! read more

I'm extremely unsatisfied with the customer service I got while I was trying to return my shoes. I purchased my shoes 3 days ago and didn't have time to actually wear them outside. One of the two times my FOOT was inside those "brand new" shoes was inside Shoe Palace to try it on. The second time was today inside my house but I took it off before I even stepped outside just because it was a little tight. When I brought the shoes in today to return them, the lady that helped me told me that the shoes were worn. (Note: I only tried it at Shoe Palace and once inside my house. One shoe looked a little worn on the bottom... just ONE shoe!) I was able to return two other pairs of shoes just fine. read more

I've been to this store a couple times now and they haven't disappointed me yet. This time I decided to do a review so the word gets out. I have a shoe freak in the family and it's almost time for school. Went to the mall in search of a particle shoe. Visited several stores before I decided to call down to Shoe Palace. Justin answered my call and told me they had the shoe I wanted and the size. Told my kid, let's go. Called back and spoke with Sergio and asked how many pair they had and to place them on hold. As soon I walked in, there were several salesmen ready to assist. I walked straight to the counter and asked for Sergio and Justin. They had the shoes ready for me. Had a nice brief convo, had some laughs and decided to buy another pair. These folks are cool. I can't understand the negative comments. I guess it all depends on the customer. If you go in with a decent attitude, then that s what you get back. Guys, I'll be back soon. Thanks for all your help and the good laughs. read more

My all time favorite SP location! All the staff are friendly and warm. They handle everything with professionalism and class. They have a great selection of sneakers and apparel. I would encourage everyone to shop here and nowhere else. read more

So it's come to my attention that shoe palace is on the verge of having everything in sync (hahah) meaning online sales would be actually be able to be returned in store. I experienced buyers remorse with an online purchase when I had a sales associate communicate to me that the online and in store inventory's weren't linked up like how other stores have it. Obviously no one really has time to return online purchases through email correspondence and printing labels and setting up a ups appointment or do a usps drop off because consumers today feel a need for everything being instantly given. I hope that time for change comes soon. Their selection of shoes and apparel are actually really good given the area. Stores are stepping up their game. Much love to Shoe Palace in Arcadia! read more

I came in this morning to return an online purchase and apparently they don't do that in store. The store associate that "helped" me made it seem like my transaction was an inconvenience to her. I can understand that it's the weekend and the mall gets busy but customer service should still be a priority for the store. I am very displeased with my experience today and will no longer shop here. read more

Came in to check out the shoe selection... stopped at the clearance section. To start off they don't have to size a kids feet...go figure a shoes store that can't size a foot... then when we go to pay the cashier tells us that the shoes were not priced right.. they were $10 more.. mind you there was about 4 or 5 pairs of the same shoe marked the same... we were getting two pairs of the same style and because one of the pairs they got from the back we had to pay the extra $10 "because that box was not labeled". Will not be coming back, customer service was not good at all. read more

Shoe Palace has a great wide range of shoes! I went to the mall not expecting to get my hands on the new release "Jordan's Retro XI". But Shoe Palace had them in stock and yet in my size. Didn't realize if you purchased it at Montclair Plaza... taxes are CHEAPER. Not much but still somethin' read more
