It's hard to believe that I have never reviewed PRSTG before.. I've only been supporting this shop for like about 6 years now.. This is the only boutique shoe shop I've ever felt so welcomed in. I've gotten almost my entire shoe collections from here. The owners are super nice and will take care of you. When I can't find a shoe I want, I always call and if they don't have it, they will find it for me! The guys have become like family. (Which is the MAIN reason we continue to support their shop.) It's not a consignment shop, but when I want to get rid of a pair, (as long as they are still resell-able) they have anyways given me a fair price. They always have good kids size shoes too, and they are at such a fair price too. (Just picked up a youth size "bred 4" for $40...) I've watched this shop expand from tiny shop, to the expansion into the next building over. And I can't wait to see how much they expand and grow! read more

A legendary shoe store in the Bay Area. Their daily specials are the best, new or used shoes at a great price when they post on Instagram.

Prices are decent on their used shoes, but their new shoes are on the pricier side. Most of their deals used to be on their Instagram page. Service isn't great. read more

The guys will LOW BALL the hell out of you, when trying to buy your shoes. They'll say things like "yeah, people thought these were gonna resell like crazy. But the market is low right now"...then after lowballing you, they resell for a price way more than what they said they would, just so you could agree to be payed so little. The Hoffmania510_prstg (IG handle) is a real POS. Terrible customer service. Doesn't treat every customer the same or fairly. If you tryna make money, re-sell your own shit. Don't go to these guys. Also, last time I checked out the store, they literally didn't have shoes on display. This place is hella weak. read more

Paid 1300$ and they Sold me a pair of defected unauthorized pair of air Jordan 1 Travis Scott. (See pictures) glue all over the shoe. Horrible quality. Shoe color scratched off on the side by the Nike check. For 1300$ these should be dead stock and authentic and not defected. If you was to bring these shoes in, this guy would never buy these. He would be looking all at this shoe to lowball you. But he can for-sure sell them. Like plenty of the other reviews. They don't guarantee authenticity anywhere on the website or anywhere. That should tell you everything you want to know. Do not order online they will send you the worst shoes out of the ones they have. And they will most likely be defected or unauthorized. And you better not even think of trying to exchange them or get your money back. This has happened to my other friend as well after telling him about my situation. During a time like this, the fact I even still supported this place and got scammed by a greedy reseller is shameful. They don't email or respond back to you. Customer service is the worst. Ever. You can get the same shoes lower on stock x. Or use goat for a reliable trustworthy purchase. Trust me. I wouldn't spend a dime in this place. Don't support the greedy. I got scammed out of 1,300$. That 1,300$ will come and go but the karma won't. read more

Check their Instagram for real time finds. They will tell you if it's sold or not. If you find something you like, you can call them and buy the product through the phone and pick it up when you get there. Street Parking is a hit or miss, it's on a pretty decently busy street. I really like Josh-davey's review. Made me respect this consignment shop a bit more too. read more

In my opinion this place is extremely over priced. You can find the SAME shoes on GOAT or STOCK X for a portion of the price they're selling them for. And in the same, or even better condition. Plus the majority of the shoes they have in store are sizes 11, 12, 13, 14s. Like what!! Crazy big. The only good thing about this spot is their Instagram page. They post daily "weekly" specials. They'll post shoes, with size & price. Those are usually the best way to get a nice pair of shoes for an actual good price!! But they go fast. So if you see a pair you like IMMEDIATELY message them to secure your purchase, Follow their instagram. read more

PRSTG - Shoe Stores Near Me - Alameda, California

The reason why I'm going to give these people two stars is because I've called numerous times and literally they've said hello and I've gotten hung up on that is bad business you do not do that especially when you're trying to auction shoes your shoes are already completely overpriced you guys literally are robbing people and then to sit here and get an attitude when you guys hang up on people that's bad business no wonder you guys get your store front messed up so many times learn how to do business learn how to have a good customer service on the phone learn to stop robbing people you guys are a black owned business stop robbing the black community read more

Reviewing for selling experience: I had some Supreme jackets for sale and gave PRSTG a call. The guy was really nice about it and told me to email him the details. some other consignments were hella rude/condescending. I got a quote back within 5 days and they were fair prices, around the same as offers I got without the hassle of having to meet up and deal with flakers. Only minus one star because I feel that actual customer service in the store could be better/more attentive. You don't really get greeted when you walk in and I didn't get a welcoming vibe. read more

Pros: the on the fence special they have is amazing Cons: the Asian guy that smokes cigarettes is a A-HOLE! Super rude. The black guy is super cool. But the Asian guy needs to fix his attitude or get the stick out his ass. Other than that it's a cool store read more

This is one of the prestigious places to get highly sought after and valuable sneakers and clothing. Not only do they carry "hype" and valuable sneakers but they also have pretty good deals on items that are more for everyday usage with great pricing. These guys help the community of Alameda but also they ship out of state and internationally. If you're lucky, a celebrity or athlete could be in the shop or you could also get a haircut while you're shopping with the barber shop located within the same building. If they don't have what you're looking for, these guys will help you find that grail for a nominal fee. But don't take my word for it, Try it out! read more

How many guys does it take to install a mirror? Something like FIFTY regardless of whether a cute girl *raises hand* (modesty, not my strongest virtue) just walked in to buy some kicks or not. Still, this place has fair prices, clean shoes, and a nice cashier... But some customer acknowledgement would be nice. So that I'm not standing there feeling awkward for a good five minutes before someone speaks to me. It's called customer service, boys. Other than that, this spot is pretty cute. Although I've heard men don't like the word cute. So I take it back. This place is swaggy. *Besos.* read more

PRSTG - My Concords for $130! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Alameda, California

I appreciated they're honesty and help. When I came it looked like they were closed even though they sign said open, but it just turned out the door was jammed. Someone came out and immediately open the door for us. This place is small and a bit dim(to preserve the shoes) and they shrink wrap their shoes. They have shoes on display from floor up. We were just browsing and looking around. there were a ton of shoes and they have everything from the latest release to some you think they would be gone forever. They shrink wrap all their display (and I can now see why) as I dropped one of them. Im still very sorry. They didn't get mad, they didn't yell at me. They knew I was sincere and shrugged it off. I didn't let myself touch anything else in the store after. We found a pair of Nike Air Max that recently released. My boyfriend is a sneaker head and has been eyeing these for a while. We were at district at Park earlier and decided to just come here since it was our day off to leisure. We found these at below market price and brand new so of course we had to get them! They were really nice with us and really chill. They were real nice guys who knew a lot about sneakers. Even when I asked them about cleaning products they told me where to go for the biggest bang for my buck. Next time we are looking for something we'll be sure to visit this place. read more

Great place and great service I've gone a couple time just to legit check my shoes and they never make you feel like you are wasting there time! Great place to buy quality shoes and products!! read more

Great shop to buy or sell your shoes, clothes, or collectible items. The staff is very helpful and friendly. All items sold in the exact condition they mention. Prices for items range from affordable to pricey I don't mind it because I am a supporting local business. To stay in the loop of the items that are being sold you need to follow their Instagram page. I will be back here soon! Parking can be a little tough since it's street parking, but the shop is great! You'll be browsing for a while. read more

PRSTG not only buy, sell and trade shoes - they restore them! I brought in two pairs of Louboutins on a Saturday afternoon - one to do a paint match with a clear sole protector and the other for just the sole protector. They were done and ready for pick up by Wednesday! Check out @GIFTED__KICKS on Instagram to see how they handle the shoes. You can tell that they take great pride in their work - the finished restored product is a reflection of their dedication to providing excellent service. They're not interested in shortcuts or doing a half-ass job - their goal is to bring the shoes back to its factory setting. After restoration, I've worn the shoes a few times and IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT. The soles are well protected and not very slippery! I've walked on gravel, cement, hardwood floors and carpets and it's looking LIKE NEW on the soles. I am extremely happy with the end result - the color match is dead on and the sole protector is doing its job. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND bringing in your Loubs to the boys and getting the soles protected before hitting the pavement. read more

Pros: The boutique is cute and very well organized. Cons: Customer service and low balling. I'm good luv, enjoy. read more

Normally I'm happy with this shop cuz they have good deals but this experience with messed up. I went to sell some shoes and I didnt get the price I was looking for some shoes but wanted to get rid of some others shoes so I looked around to buy something and when I was ready told the guy how much he quoted me and he changed it up and lower the price and said the shoes I wasn't getting rid of they were paying more but still not the value I wanted to get rid of them at. So he devalued my shoes to get them for cheaper with is messed up. I didnt argue with him cuz if this his how they do business then I guess I'll take it somewhere else and let everyone know wassup in the sneaker community. To mess up their rep for 30-40 dollars dont make any sense. read more

I get it , everyone LOVES sneakers . Everyone wants the latest pair of whatever's heat at the moment . But you know what sucks ? It sucks that we live in a world filled with fuck bois and hype beasts who make it hard for people like me to get some attention in a store like this . Ive always loved sneakers . Back in junior high , my parents never bought me the pairs of j's I wanted . They bought me team Jordans. They also refused to buy me Superstars because Payless had the ones with not 3 but 4 stripes on them . Now that I'm making my own money , It feels so nice to know that my days of wearing team Jordan's and fake adidas are looooong gone ! My cousin is a regular at this store and told me that this is where KD and Steph curry go to buy their shoes . He also showed me that they have a pair of NDS oxford tans in my size . We all know that those are very hard to come by so I drove to Alameda to go and take a look . As soon as I walk in , I noticed the store was packed. I also noticed my cousin in there shopping too but who cares about him ? I told him " move out the way Brian ! I want those oxford tans !" now here's what I found to be upsetting : the people who work here have horrible customer service . I understand you're busy with lots of customers in your store , but when someone asks for assistance you shouldn't make it seem like they're being a nuisance when it's your job to help them . As soon as I had seen that no one was willing to help me , I walked out because It shouldn't have to be this difficult to buy a pair of shoes . Do yourself a favor and read why other reviewers gave this store bad reviews . They're actually right . read more

Emailed to see how much it'll cost for shoes to be repaired and I was emailed back they can be repaired but no price or date to drop them off. I heard this place has horrible customer service and sell fake shoes. Guess they only like dealing with people that constantly contact them to make them feel important. read more

They're indeed expensive if you decide to buy shoes out the blue. Although they kind of compensate for that when theirs daily deals on their Instagram. Go follow! I appreciate them being local. read more

PRSTG - Shoe Stores Near Me - Alameda, California

See all

It's kind of hard not to like this place, they have one of the greatest sneaker collections in all of the bay area and they definitely know their product. I've stopped by a few times to grab a specific sneaker and ended up leaving with multiple pairs because of their vast knowledge and customer service. I've been collecting shoes and vintage items for years, so to have a spot so close to home that I can stop by and grab a recent pair of deadstock shoes or some classics like Bapestas or Dadas is a blessing. This store has an excellent structure, they always buy both new or used shoes and collectibles and run daily specials through their instagram account. You will have to line up early to cop a pair of their daily deals, but if you manage to leave with anything it is guaranteed to be fire quality and always fairly priced. Their regular priced items vary in cost, some things are close in value to StockX or Goat prices while others are mad expensive, which is understandable considering that you won't see them other places and because this is a retail boutique with overhead costs. All in all, I love this shop and you should too, drop your dusty kicks and let them garnish your feet with excellence. read more

PRSTG - Featured Sneakers - Shoe Stores Near Me - Alameda, California

Stopped by for the first time to sell some Js after having a bad experience at Airloom Deluxe (their customer service is terrible.) I stopped in to PRSTG and it's like the first sneaker store I've walked into where the staff were real cool. The guy at the register was nice and super transparent about everything and the value of my shoes. He said the price may go up over time but that they were in the lower price range rn and that I could probably get more wear out of em and they'd still be worth the same. I still sold em but I really liked how straight up the dude was and he didn't treat me like I didn't know shit about shoes, he actually tried to educate me bout em instead without tryna make me feel stupid. (Most sneaker stores treat people, especially women like that) Definitely coming back. read more

This is the best shoe store in the world. I have been so happy with everything I have purchased and man have I gotten some f steals. Of course I wish they answered my call first so I could purchase the best specials available but guess what sometimes it doesn't work out. Everyone wants the best shit. I would say that if you see something you really want it's best to just physicality go to the store right when they open than it is to call the store. But hey, who knows, you might get lucky when you call!!! read more

I love the store. I love the people who works there. Joe is awesome and will give you a fair estimates on your shoes.

They was rude i walked in there and they didnt even great me and they be low balling when shoes be in good condition and in original box

Awesome store, 2nd time to be here, store got bigger, check it out! just sold some shoes, they bought it for a fair price, didnt low ball, def be back here and support, once i get back up.. 10/10 read more

Horrible customer service. Who ever had answered the phone had an attitude before I even asked my question. All I wanted was to get a pricing on a shoe and the person went on rambling about how he couldn't give me a price over the phone because of what ever reason. you would think you could at least get a price over the phone instead of driving 50+ miles to get a price. Ridiculous customer service. read more

PRSTG cheats people when you sell to them and their customer service has gotten worse every visit. My recent visit was def my last. Save your money and don't waste your time/gas on these shady dudes!!! read more

Pros: great steals, nice people (overall), bigger location than years before CONS: they don't care about lines. Whether or not you have created a line with their clients, they will take in their homies/peoples/friends FIRST and then the line. Drove 45 mins, spoke to people in line to see if I made it in time for the shoes, and I did. OUT OF THE BLUE, comes a guy and sits in front of the line and instead of copping, trades for what I came for. Suggestion: it doesn't matter if they're your boys/peoples, respect the fact we created a line. If your peoples was there first, make sure they are FIRST in line. Although this experience only happened once to me, multiple of my friends have mention that this has happen to them before. read more

The shoe selection is LEGIT. They have many options and sizes. They also have some fence sale shoes daily on Instagram. You ask why 2 stars? well the customer service on the phone is HORRIBLE! When answering the phone speak up, Be professional. I know your busy but dont be a A-hole when you get asked questions. read more

Dope spot for getting kicks! They even let me slide through with my pup. The owners are great people too. Glad to have a consignment shop near by! read more

PRSTG - Thanks for the HEAT!!!!!! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Alameda, California

Not sure where the disconnect is with the other reviews but I visit PRSTG regularly all the way from San Mateo. I've been going to cosignment stores since 2007 starting with RIF LA. I've visited cosigns all over LA and The Bay and I must say PRSTG is by far my favorite. The guys up front are always nice & are happy to chop it up with you if they're not too busy. Other stores act like they're better than the customer while these guys are regular people. I've sold 3 pairs & they've been very generous with their offers. For the people saying PRSTG "rips people off", understand that this is a business. Why would a cosign/brick & mortar pay you highest market value for your kicks? I've witnessed people walk in with yeezy boosts and leave with $700-$800 cash. Good luck finding that anywhere else. ALSO - if you bring in used shoes, you can't expect them to give you top dollar...they're USED. This place is solid, they offer good money for your kicks and their prices are reasonable. Lastly, their weekly specials are on point! read more

Pretty cool shoe store in Alameda. The place is a bit small so don't expect something big like a reail store at the mall. On ig they do have weekly specials on worn, ds and nds shoes which is first come first serve however you can place a phone order if the item is available. I've bought a few shoes from prstg and did not have a problem with the transaction. read more

Came over to Prstg for the first time after clearing out the closet with some extra Jordan's I had laying around, was greeted by Joe and immediately assisted me, gave me a quick quote on my new Jordan's and out the door I went. fast and no hassle! Defiantly will be coming back soon. Also massive collection for all types of Nike's, Jordan's, Adidas..(etc) read more

Sold me fake Jordans!! I bought a pair of Jordans from their online store, they were marked up about $50 more than other sites, but figured it would be worth it because they're a local mom and pop store and claim to have 20+ years of industry experience. I wanted to make sure I got an authentic pair for my husband for Christmas. Shipping was quick but when I opened them to examine the shoes, they smelled like a factory and not like the new shoe smell they should have if they're genuine. There was also a ton of excess pink glue around the bottoms, a dead giveaway because the glue should only be clear... Some of the stitching was pink as well, instead of white. Not the worst fakes I've ever seen, but at the end of the day, if I pay for authentic sneakers, I expect to receive authentic sneakers. Their loophole is that although they claim to be "experts", they do not actually guarantee authenticity anywhere on their website, and refuse to do returns or exchanges. I expected so much more from a local shop. Seriously disappointed. This place should be put out of business. read more

I had bought one of my pair of jordans from this store then I went in today to sell or trade another pair I had, he told me he could take them. Smh and the customer service is horrible, I won't be back. read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon Neat place nice items but After making it obvious that I needed some help Not one person spoke to me No "Hello" "welcome" "can I help you with anything" A lot of cool things i wanted to spend my money on but after trying to grab a shoe off of a high shelf and still no one asked if I needed help... automatic turn off And won't be coming back read more

Got some yeezy 500 salts not to long ago. Pretty sweet deals that they have weekly on their IG. Service was ok there's room for improvement.

Horrible service. they were too busy with their conversation to even ask me if i needed help. i asked them for help a couple times and they brushed me off. the prices they pay for your shoes are extremely low. going on GOAT or stockX would definitely net you more money for your shoes, at least 2-3x the amount they offer. read more
