Great high end type shoe store on Spadina beside Adrift, the other skateboard shoe store. They have a limited amount of clothing as well and worth checking out if you're in the area. I've had good chats with the staff the couple times I've been into Livestock and it had a nice vibe. Since I didn't buy anything I can't comment on their deals, but I do like their streetwear! read more

Livestock - New spacious store on Spadina - Shoe Stores Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Solid selection & aesthetic interior for hype, sneakers & clothes! We've been here a couple of times and have been pretty lucky to snag some heat for retail! The selection they carry here is honestly pretty good if you don't want to always shop at consignment stores. Employees are laid back & chill too The nice & spacious interior just adds to the elevated shopping experience & I would say this spot is a must visit when good drops come out. They are also always constantly raffling (check their IG & website for updated info) Seems like the bad reviews here are mostly from ordering online... can't really say much about that but the in store experience has been great for us read more

I got a pair of sambas from them and one of the pairs have major defects. I began to think deadstock/livestock means selling defected stuff. So think twice before buying here. read more

Livestock - Shoe Stores Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Sneaker heads rejoice: the new and improved and incredibly spacious Livestock is here! Sneaker stores are hit and miss. Sometimes they go floor to ceiling and over pile the shoes, to give that feeling of being swallowed up by kicks. This one goes spread out and minimal. Lots of room to breath and relax. And the prices are the same as most other stores, so the customer isn't paying for the layout. There's clothes, Nike, New Balance and ASICS and other brands. From limited editions to some mainstreams, there is a good selection of sneakers without being over done. Service was friendly. I went in a couple of times and the staff seems to want to help you get that box of crisp new kicks. Worth the trip! read more

Warning: DO NOT ORDER ONLINE This company is a scam, any time you order online they wait a long time, tell you the "size is not in stock" (despite the website saying it was in stock when you ordered)... then they stop replying to you. Even if you ask for another size, they ignore you. Then after a week you ask for a refund and still get no response. It's now been 2 weeks and I've had to call my credit card company to initiate an investigation. I'm sure they tell themselves a bunch of lies and excuses but they are completely immoral and should not be operating an ecommerce site if they have no intention of full-filling orders or responding to customers. The fact there are countless reviews on every website about them shows this scam has been going on for a long time. I hope their credit card processor shuts them down for chargebacks. read more

Terrible experience. I bought an item from the Livestock website and was sent something I didn't order. Turns out they don't even sell the product that I ordered from their website. The general customer service line leads nowhere and the in store reps disassociate themselves from their head office. Very unpleasant and prolonged experience. I wish I never found this company or attempted business with them. AVOID BY ALL MEANS!!! read more

Ordered a pair of shoes from Livestock/Deadstock, phoned in to exchange for a different size, rep said sure no problem will put the pair on hold. Later received an e-mail letting me know the wrong size was put on hold and the size I needed was no longer available. I say alright no problem, mistake happens, just refund me my money then. Was told no, Livestock/Deadstock's store policy is store credit only and would not do a refund. Now I understand each store has its own policy, but when a store makes an error on their end, I would expect an honest business would refund a person's money if they cannot provide the service or merchandise, Livestock/Deadstock is anything but. read more

I bought NB 550 for my boyfriend and I payed for express shipping. They said that the shoes would arrive within 2-3 days or at least 8 days. it's been 15 days and yet, I've never received a tracking number. read more

I hit up Livestock with Wendy H today. This place is one of those NYC / LA style places. All shoes are neatly displayed. An array of high end, high designed, highly unique Nikes, Adidas, Vans, LiveStock, and Alife. They also have those 'two' racks of clothes with about 10 items neatly spaced on each. The sneaks are regular priced ranging from 80-200. I bought myself a pair of Alife's today, and they are so comfy and slick. Staff was great, that hip urban scene, and they gave us tickets to an upcoming party when we made our purchase. I am not a part of this scene, but I am down with it, in my new comfy shoes. I recommend you checking it out if you are looking for stylish urban shoes. read more

Good product and selection, however, don't expect any customer service...you're on your own.

just received shoes ordered online and they are wrong size and their reply was unable to return as is final sale. No where did it say final sale nor did I get a sale price. horrible customer service read more

I went recently and the experience was great. They had lots of selection and they ended up having 1 pair of Jordan 1's in stock for retail.

Canceled my online order four business days after I got order confirmation. They charged my card and it still has not been refunded. Their completely unhelpful staff has not been able to provide a reason through email or their customer service phone line. Never ordering from here again. read more

Two words; not down. Livestock is another in a long line of boutique sneaker stores. The prices are exactly what you would expect to pay in a boutique store of any kind but the fundamental problem is that sneakers aren't worth a $200 price tag. They never have been. It's like paying $60,000 for a Civic. Sure it's probably got a good stereo and some nitrous under the hood but you're still just driving a crappy little four banger. This might be the only store in Toronto that I have ever felt old upon walking in which is hilarious because the guys that work there are about my age. I learned how to pull my pants up though so I guess that makes me an outcast. It's true that the small amount of clothing they carry is hard to come by in Toronto but it seems like the only size they carry is large and extra large which is strange because the vast majority of the kids I see shopping there couldn't fit into a large if they invited three of their friends inside their shirt to help fill it out. You would do better to just buy it online. You'll wait just as long for the shipping and it will at least be in your size when it gets there. If you think Dunks are the height of fashion or haven't figured out that the only good thing to come out of the 80s was the end of the decade then this might be the place for you. I'm going to go put on my curmudgeon hat and chase kids off my lawn now. read more

This location is definitely a let down in terms of design and lack friendly employees. The location is in a basement of a building and they need to really renovate this location as it really lacks the feel of a boutique sneaker store. I've always have to approach an employee to help me get my online orders from the back even though the store would be empty. The employee seemed uninterested in terms of working at a sneaker boutique. The only cool thing about this location is that they host occasional pop-up events from Nike. read more

I actually went in to spend money. Saw a pair of shoes online that I liked, went in to buy them. I was treated like I didn't belong, dude put the shoes down without looking at me, and walked away. I'll take my money some place who understands customer service. This place is an embarrassment, treat people as you wish to be treated. read more

Went there to pick up a pair of shoes ordered online. Sounds simple right? When I got there the white guy is on the phone for like 15 mins telling me to wait. Fine. Then this Filipino Asian staff walked by didn't say a word but kept looking at me up and down like I was an intruder on his street. Who trained these people to do customer service? Any employee at McDonald's would give me better service and smiles and thank you than this place selling items for hundreds of dollars each. read more

I've been a long time fan of livestock because they've always offered a decent collection of shoes, most of which are modestly priced, however, the clothing that they offer is quite the opposite. As one of the few Toronto retailers (and one of the few Canadian retailers) of legitimate Billionaire Boys Club/Ice Cream gear as well as clothing from The Hundreds, high price tags can be expected. Sadly, the prices of the BBC and Ice Cream items are relatively the same as the would be on the actual website, as for The Hundreds articles of clothing, I really dont know. What I do know however is that its actually cheaper to order some of the shoes they offer from the manufacturer/brand website. For example, livestock offers a limited selection of shoes from The Hundreds (in bad colourways I might add) for approx $90-$120 but you can order the same shoes (and have more selection) from the actual TH online store and pay maybe a max of around $85 including canadian shipping costs. Livestock isn't a bad shoe retailer, its stock is quite alright but they need to step it up in terms of pricing, bringing in better colourways, and diversifying their stock. Many of the offered shoes can be found at nike and foot locker retailers...at cheaper prices! read more

Worst customer service. Employees seem to look at you as if they don't want you in the store. Good luck getting some help unless you approach the employees, even if you're the only customer in the store. read more

I ordered a pair of sneakers through them literally 1 minute after they were released- they processed my payment and gave me directions for in store pickup, then a week later I got an email saying that they never actually had the shoes that I had paid for and cancelled my order. Absolutely ridiculous for them to release them and take money for shoes they never had in the first place. So disappointed that I won't have a chance to get these limited run shoes at all now- if I had known they never had them I would have spent my time waiting in the queue on another site that could actually deliver on their advertised product. Waste of time- will never shop here again. read more

Avoid at all cost, DO NOT BUY from them. No customer service, no replies on emails no answer on phone 1-800 number....after 3 weeks.. Almost impossible to get an answer refund...they do not returns on wrong szes..it doesn't fit you...then you are stuck with it. read more

worst customer service ever. They do not value customers at all. Nobody cares about anything. Honestly i never had a bad experience with anybody like this. These guys are useless every single one of them especially Katherine and Justin read more

Oh Livestock - how much money have you cost me over the years? My addiction is sneakers and you've been my dealer for years. Livestock is a premium sneaker shop/boutique that started out in Vancouver. 'Livestock' is a play on words on 'deadstock' -- primarily used in sneakerhead circles to denote 'unworn' or 'brand new in box'. It has nothing to do with farm animals. Livestock eventually ran headlong into Goodfoot, their Toronto counterpart, when they both opened up locations in the each others 'hood. I was in the prime of my sneaker habit during the turf wars - like any drug dealer war, the shit got better and for cheaper. But I usually backed my local shop against the invading forces of the Toronto sneaker scene - Livestock guys were much nicer and they had the better products... and frankly, FUCK TORONTO. Eventually, Goodfoot folded completely (as with many sneaker shops during the massive die out after the financial crisis first hit). Now, Livestock is the big dog in Canada with two locations in Vancouver and locations in Toronto (I believe the Calgary location shut down). The inventory is the same as the Vancouver store - offerings from Vans, New Balance, Puma, Adidas, etc. and smaller brands like Clae, Alife, Pointer, etc. But the star attraction is their Tier Zero and Quickstrikes Nike releases and they have a Jordan account. They also bring in some pretty damned rare collaborations and exclusives. And they sell the accessories to match your kicks from brands like G-Shock, Hundreds, Acapulco Gold, BBC, etc. I gave both locations in Vancouver '5 stars' (i.e. http://www.yelp.com/biz/livestock-vancouver) -- the staff is nice, especially the older staff to regulars (a.k.a. whales) like me. I really can't give Toronto Livestock a perfect rating. The staff is pleasant enough - but the crew in Vancouver seem to live and breathe the scene whereas the Toronto staff seem more aloof. And honestly, how do you rate the store that feeds your addiction? No matter where I go (in Canada, at least) -- the sneakers... they keep calling me... they calling me. read more

This place is la creme de la creme of unethical business practices. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Have a problem with an online order? Don't bother emailing them, they'll just ignore your emails. If you're thinking about spending your money here, don't and go elsewhere. There are many other boutiques in Toronto who at least acknowledges their customers. If you're thinking about buying something online??? DO NOT. I urge you. This establishment sold me a product with a defect and ignored my emails until I called Visa (my method of payment online) to file a quality dispute. THANKFULLY, Visa was helpful, credited me back and made it much easier for me to avoid this place by all means. Funny enough, within an hour of calling Visa I got a reply to my emails! Subpar selection of clothing and despicable customer service. Who do these people think they are? Lol. While I'm a sucker for local and Canadian owned businesses I hope this place closes down. They do not care about their customers and actually make customers feel like they shouldn't spend their money here. I can't believe this establishment has more than one location in Toronto and Vancouver. read more

Obnoxious and awful. Sold me a used and broken bottle of Jason Mark shoe spray and when I went in to get it replaced, they not only lied to me (said the bottle is only supposed to last for 4 sprays) but called me a liar and said you could've bought it anywhere or probably did something to cause it to break. Do not patronize this horrible store with repulsive employees and abhorrent customer service. Go to Adrift next door, not only are they incredibly pleasant but they work hard to earn your business. read more

Buy elsewhere! Ordered online with a confirmation of my purchase. Later received an email informing me that one of the item was not available since it was an inventory error on their end. After 6 business days received an email informing me that all the items I bought was sold out. Waste of time and now with all Deadstock's delay I can't buy the products anywhere else since it's all sold out. Not buying from them anymore. read more

Made a yelp account to write this: 4 business days after placing an online order, receiving a confirmation, and having my card charged I had not received a shipping confirmation. After e-mailing Livestock to inquire about the status of my order I received a response stating my order had been canceled due to lack of stock and a refund forthcoming. This occurred during the 5 days of boxing day sales and I did not receive the cancellation until the last day of the sales and refund after the sale was over. I voiced this concern to them 3 business days ago and have still not heard back. Would not recommend dealing with this store to anyone until they can improve their customer experience. There are plenty of other street-wear/sneaker locations in Toronto that provide a better online experience. read more

conservative selection. staff are unfriendly and uninformed. to be honest...dusty, pathetic. *side note* (even biggie smalls being summoned through the speakers cannot save this soulless fart trap. instead he is modified into some weak prefab aural spectrum wallpaper. whats next for assassination of street culture? 'flava in ya ear' followed by something from 'tribe'? bang. bang.) if undefeated was in the city they'd just board this shop up...and no one would notice. read more

No customer service. The 855 phone number is connecting you to mean girl who's gonna ruin your day

They carry some exclusive kicks, but they are usually overpriced. They also carry alot of shoes that you can find on queen st (footlocker, get outside) for cheaper. You can find some american street brands like the hundreds, MHI, and HUF Service is okay, the owner's are friendly but the other associates can be snobby. The host and promote many events which is okay. Overall.. a good sneaker boutique read more

Had some cool selections breezed in after a few rounds finally got some help. DIdn't have my size but the brand selections are great, sneakers are awesome and layout is great. Will stop by anytime i'm in the Toronto area. Off the beaten path in a way but maybe I'm just being a stink since it was snowing when I rolled by. read more

I was rather disappointed about this shoe store, I went there with high hopes for some exclusive jordans, but instead I left the store in just a few minutes of browsing. I guess there was nothing there that caught my eye. The staff was friendly and both wore some nice jordans, an olive V and a black cement III. Only if they sold those kind of shoes in the store. read more

Kinda salty I couldn't find any reigning champ hoodies or steez that tickled my fancy. However got my fleece Nike Sportswear Baseball fleece jacket. Joint was expensive but sick. Definitely. A pretty standard boutique altogether, but liked the layout and assortment. Had a cute sales girl and homie that pulled my piece was quick, quiet, and efficient. Good experience. Will be back! read more

Prices here unfortunately are rape. But they do have good selection for kicks and clothing.i was in search for flyknit racers but the prices are marked up compared to other retailers. read more

Don't order shoes here. I've ordered from them online putting a note at checkout to send me a new stock of the item. So I trusted them and waited for a couple of days for my shipment arrive. To my surprise, when I got the item, they sent me shoes that had detached tags/labels and damaged box!!! When I checked with them why was the shoes sent with this condition, they told me that the shoes were used for marketing and photoshoot for their website. I really had to get an answer from them, unfortunately they cannot give out any clear responses to me on why this was the case. So basically I've ordered a brandnew shoes from LIVESTOCK CANADA (deadstock.ca) which was intendedly used for marketing, and at the customer's expense? RIDICULOUS! Won't recommend buying from Livestock CA. and if you ever decide to buy, BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK! Lastly, they are new to the game and they really don't know how to operate. read more

Totally cheap and unethical behavior. Don't even bother ordering online, once the payment is made they would not even bother about you and your delivery. Will cancel your order and still charge for shipping, just avoid these cheap MF and order from somewhere else. read more

You're better off going to the U.S. Half of their shoes are fake or have factory defects. One of the worst customer service I've ever come across. The workers are unprofessional and don't know what they're talking about. Will not buy from them ever again!! Waste of money!! read more

Online shop has good stock but terrible customer service. Needed to return shoes and took a month and about 8 emails to organise, and they refused to give me a refund based on store policy (they only give store credit). Won't use again read more

This place is an absolute joke. I "ordered" some shoes and after 3 days later, they email me saying the order was cancelled because there was not "enough stock to fulfill my order". The funny thing about this was that my friend and I ordered the same shoes and same size but I ordered first. My order number was 81684 and my friend's was 81690. But my friend was able to get the shoes but not me? Now don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous that he has got a pair and I don't but it is the fact that I emailed them to see what was up and the representative named Brett F said that they "must adhere to a certain level of fairness by fulfilling orders in the order that they were placed". Now that's absolute bullsh*t because I don't know about you guys but I think 81684 comes before 81690. I have emailed them back asking to explain to me what it means for them to fulfill the orders in the order that they were placed because it's obviously not true about a week ago but no response yet. read more
