I had decided to take up skateboarding while I wait for 4 months for my roller skates and I'm so glad I came here. I had gone to Furnace Skateshop earlier and they weren't as friendly and as helpful as the service I got here. Shout out to Jose for being patient and knowledgeable in helping me build my first skate. He also didn't make me feel intimidated or stupid for asking questions (as a girl, I always feel intimidated going into a skate shop). He was also mindful of the budget I had set and just an overall chill dude. I absolutely loved the service I received today and I will definitely be back. Support your local Skateshop! read more

Super bummed when I found an advertising, Online saying they were going out of business. Skate industry is so expensive. Unfortunately this is a common occurrence. I myself Had my own skate shop that closed down, so I definitely know the struggles. Have a lot of buy one. Get one free specials. Come in before the specials are all gone. I walked out of there with a cool Santa Cruz towel. Lots of size 11s. read more

This store went downhill after it moved. I've been going to the old legends my whole life before they moved and they had a great board wall and now the deck selection is trash. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff here at this board shop. We got top notch customer service by the young man there. That's rare these days, but alive and well here! When we are ready for the more customized board I will for sure be coming back. We got a great recommendation for new wheels and bearings for my son's first skateboard to feel a bit more pro. He installed them as well. read more

My son loves this shop!! They always have his favorite style of jeans and really cool tshirts. He's gotten a few decks from here as well and the guys are always so cool and sweet! They acknowledge his questions and walk him through what's happening so he's aware of the steps ! Love them! read more

Highly recommend this store, they have a great selection of product! The staff was very knowledgeable when answering my questions, i will be back!! read more

I've shopped here once and It won't be my last time. I came here to purchase some skate decks and I left satisfied. SHOP Large, organized shop. Shoes, apparel, boards and accessories. They have a decent selection here. SERVICE The employees here are friendly and helpful. They greeted me when I came in and helped me find what I was looking for. I saved a lot of time shopping here. PARKING There are lots in the front and rear of the building. Parking is free and not an issue here. read more

The 2016 YELP 500, Review #137: Like most great experiences, this gets my highest first visit rating of four stars, with five on my next visit. A word to the wise from an old school skater... This is a fully stocked shop. I am talking you could literally come in here with nothing on and skate out the door with the latest clothing (socks? They got 'em! Underwear? Yep, they got your @$$ covered!), boards, wheels, trucks, stickers, grip tape, shoes, accessories, jewelry (watches, ear rings...), or kick it old school with some back in the day fashions. You can pick up clothes for the skate park or for going out at night. Long pants, shorts... doesn't matter they got it. I'm telling you this is the shop that other Iong to emulate. If you are reading this but, don't live in Downey, no problem they have shops in other locations. Google them, call them, whatever. Just come check this place out. PS: My second visit was just as good. Thanks guys. Five stars now. read more

Don't go rigged raffles no one ever wins Waste of time prices are overpriced Rude workers always on their phones doing nothing read more

Decided to pick up skating again after a 15+ year hiatus, so i had to stop by my home town shop to pick up a board. The workers were super helpful and i was easily able to pick a board for me + my wife. highly recommend read more

Absolutely appalling behavior by new owner, berating an employee for a price mistake in front of the whole store. Slamming the cash register, getting in his employees face, and using various obscenities. And kept up this behavior even after his employee offered to pay for the money lost. He used this poor boy's mistake as an excuse as to why business is slow. Absolutely appalling. read more

I'm trying to learn how to skate so I stopped by this skate shop to get a skateboard. I met Zack by the wall of skateboard decks near the back and told him I didn't know much about skateboards but I wanted one for commute and to do some tricks with. He helped me pick out the parts I needed like the deck, the grip tape, the trucks, the bearings, and the wheels all while considering my budget which was super cool. He put it together for me and I liked how awesome it turned out. Now I can start skating and with enough practice, I'll be able to Ollie over a Coke can in 10 years lol. Seriously though, thanks Legends and Zack for helping a beginner like myself. read more

HORRIBLE STORE!!! The owner is extremely unprofessional. I have been going to this store for a while and always have been treated well by employees especially the one that he absolutely degraded in front of customers. This owner needs to grow up acting like a little boy having a tantrum in front of customers. His behavior is absolutely inexcusable! I will be taking my business else where. The employee even tried paying him back for the mistake that he made and the owner acted like a baby! The store is not going to succeed with such a foolish man running it. Horrible read more

Terrible service waiting 30 min outside signs say they open at 10 not open dumb as workers or owner just outside being a dumb fuck with not a enough workers plus they have no boards 3/4 of the wall is empty whack quack read more

Legends Boardshop - Shoe Stores Near Me - Downey, California

I've been here a handful of times throughout the years, and I've always had a very pleasant experience. I went in yesterday and bought a pair of shoes and a few shirts. Two employees greeted me at the door, and they even sparked up a conversation with me. Nowadays, I walk into a high end skate shop and the employees expect me to treat them as if I owe them something. I can't say the same about this place. Artie was very helpful and answered all of my questions. The two employees were very knowledgeable about all the products I was choosing. The selection is pretty great as well. I finally found this Mark Gonzales shirt I've been looking for. They had a great variety of brands that can cater to many. Shortys, new deal, frog, butter goods, Powell,etc... they even have a decent sale section! I will definitely be coming back soon! Thank you Legends for the excellent customer service. read more

This shop is crazy they have literally everything you could want. This is probably the best skate shop product wise in the la area. They have a bunch of upcoming brands like Former, Quasi, and Butter Goods that are super hard to find and all the core skate brands as well. Crazy sale section too lots of rare older shoes that are hard to find. Employees were friendly and were even willing to listen to my old guy skate talk and didn't vibe me out. These kinds of shops are dying out and it's nice to find one that's close and can keep product in stock. read more

Staff is friendly and chill. It's a bit pricey but got some protective gear that was worth the $$$. read more

Awesome shop, great selection. The staff were very knowledgeable and eager to help and very chill. Will def recommend and come back to this store. read more

Came here for a skateboard for my son as he was starting Skatedogs camp. The two guys who were here when I came in were extremely helpful, they helped my son customize and put together his skateboard. All I had to do was tell them I was looking for a decent (not cheap) board, but not too expensive because I didn't know if my son would like skateboarding or not. 7/22/17 Update: my son loved Skatedogs camp and it was quite interesting to see that several of the first timers had the wrong skateboards ( long/short boards). My son had the perfect board it was even complemented several times. read more

The guys there are very helpful and knowledgeable of what they are selling , not like others where they just want to make a sell . I really do recommend this shop . read more

This place is great came here to get my grip tape on ended up helping me a lot very good place to shop at and very helpful ppl that work there read more

Some of the worst customer service my husband and I have received. My husband and I walked into the store no one greeted us or even acknowledged that we had walked into the store. During our time inside of the store my husband asked one of the people behind the counter which he says might of been the owner if he could use the restroom. He didn't even look up at him so he asked again assuming he hadn't heard him the first time. Again he didn't look up and just said "No, you can use the one inside the Fresh N Easy." I know after that we should of just left, but we like to give people second chances. So we started to look at the shoes (only reason we were there), and found that nothing had a price! Again, my husband went up to someone to ask about the prices. This gentleman was nicer than who might again been the owner. We we're a little curious as to why they didn't have prices on the shoes. At first I thought i assumed they did this to allow them to interact with your customers and find out what they were looking for. Like an ice breaker, but the response we received was not what we were expecting at all.His response was: "Well we already know the prices I do this all day. Plus, if we sale a shoe we would have to take the tag off of that one and re-tag it." Yes I am not lying he said that!! Take your business else where. As small business owners ourselves we rather support small businesses rather than going to an outlet mall, but this time we made the wrong choice. read more

The staff is friendly and professional. They were very helpful picking a skateboard for my son and putting it together. Thanks

I'd seen the shop for a few years now, never had the nerve to stop in. My son saw the skaters in the Olympics, he fell in love with skating. ALL the guys are super helpful, we told them it was his first "board", they took to him right away. Perfecto and the rest of the guys are down to earth and just super cool guys. We're going to come back for a board for my daughter, only after she sort of learns on her brother's board. We will be back though. They also have the coolest gear. read more

I was completely surprised how big this place was when I walked in. I used to live down the street for years and always thought it was an odd place to put a skateboard shop. As soon as I came in, the staff were super friendly and helped me find what I needed for my holiday gifts. I am not sure why there were so many other bad experiences but maybe it was the staff on that particular day? All I know is if I were a teenage boy or girl that was in to skateboarding, I would have been in heaven! read more

My experience at legends boardshop was not what I thought itd be it seemed like a cool skateshop but I noticed pretty quickly the owner was trying really hard to push certain brands at me then when I took "too long" to pick a deck he asked me if I wasn't gonna buy anything why am I there and i felt a little harassed honestly from skater to skater I'd say LEGENDS BOARDSHOP is a 0 star "skate" shop read more

Came in to purchase a complete deck for my younger brother. They had a decent amount to choose from for the size he wanted. The store is clean and the staff is super helpful. Will def come back! read more

Great customer service. Really friendly and helpful. They have a big selection of merchandise and boards. I will definitely be back here. Thanks :) read more

The first time is went inside I was welcomed with the best service of all the skate shops I been to. The selection of items is incredibly wide with best quality products. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

Worst customer service in all Downey, CA and the greater Los Angeles, they have the worst customer service, don't support this local business with the worst customer service read more

If I could I would give Zach Price a "0" , 1 star is being to nice. All we wanted to do is exchanged a shirt and Zach wouldn't take the shirt. he said it smelled like it was worn. The shirt smelled like all other shirts they had their. I WAS a loyal customer until today when I encountered Zach Price. It's sad to loose customers because of people who don't care about their customers. Bad business for Legends. I can honestly say they have lost me as a customer read more

Cool selection of boards clothes and shoes and employees however the owner or main dude there couldn't be any less helpful. Went in and spent a few hundred dollars buying all kinds of things (multiple decks, bushings, shoes) & was helped out by a knowledgeable young man who also put my trucks on the new decks and added the grip tapes. Returned the next day to buy a complete and ask about the bushings I had purchased the day before. The owner seemed annoyed, blew it off saying it all comes down to preference, had no idea what differences I was talking about, and kept interrupting to offer to put them on my board for me with a smirk on his face (as if I hadn't tried that right). Very impatient washed up dude would probably be of more use to his shop if he'd stay home and let his employees take care of the customers. read more

Amazing service employees are super nice and helpful. Has very nice and cool clothing. Definitely a must go if u like to skateboard

I love going here because the boy at the counter is sooo dreamy!!! Anthony best customer service on the planet he's so hot! I recommend every one get their board gripped by him ;-) read more

I don't really understand what everyone is complaining about on here about their customer service; they greeted me, helped me efficiently when I asked for help, and held a conversation with me. I have never had a bad experience visiting their store, but I do know that most people who go into this boardshop know exactly what they're looking for, so I don't mind that the associates let their customers shop on their own and only help when it's necessary. read more

I give this place a 5 star rating because overall their customer service was above and beyond I'm sure people become agitated because the place has a laid back feeling to it. I walked in and I didn't get greeted which was no big deal to me I didn't actually walk into the shop to buy anything I was looking to get information on a Nixon watch I bought somewhere else that had recently fallen apart. First and foremost Im a retail manager I completely understand the expectations. Retail is often very mechanical and people can be polite and greet you and acknowledge you but it's not that want to help you it simply is the way they're told to do things and most will never get out of their way to help you. With that being said, I walked up to the counter and asked Anthony and Josh if they did any Nixon watch repairs seeing as how they carry Nixon watches. Anthony inspected my watch and overall pointed me in the right direction as far as their policy as well as nixon's policy. I thanked him and he showed me the selection of their Nixon watches and let me patiently try out the watches that seemed to interest me. He gave me his honest opinion on the watches and even offered alternatives. I ended up buying a watch from Anthony and Josh not because I fell into a selling scheme it wasn't even because of their selection,in fact there is a zumiez in the mall down the street with a bigger selection but the way these 2 guys took care of me was beyond customer service. They developed a real connection with me and I will definitely keep going back to shop there again. read more

Cool place to shop, variety of board brands is great, I was able to find habitat brand and the wheels I use. I should have stopped here first instead of driving around finding my setup. read more

The dudes there are pretty much chill... I'm a "professional" and used to the whole "department store type customer service" and I sort of kind of miss that here at the store, but these guys are skaters, just regular dudes not really working for a corporate cookie cutter type store. So just consider that when you go in there. Don't expect to be held by the hand while shopping in there. I have not looked at the clothes in there, so I can't say anything about that. They have small skateboard parts from trucks, bearings, tools, stickers etc... all at pretty reasonable prices... for a store. of course the internet brings savings but thats different. They carry blank decks, regular decks, trucks, wheels at OK prices. I went in looking to buy a longboard and they pretty much only carry sector 9 and globe from what I remember. good stuff, but didn't have what I was looking for. Thats not really their fault. The guys where very helpful and chill, I bought some safety gear and helmet, bearings, bushings, stickers and a skate tool. pretty much a good experience. Nothing to complain about really. read more
