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!

She went up to the counter and asked about this kind of shoe, with a passing reference to Hokas, and rather than directing her to the Nike Vomeros, which were on the shelf literally a few feet away, the staff gave her a snide comment about how they only sell shoes that have style. That was one lost sale. I also had seen a sweater I really liked about 10 minutes prior but there was no way I was going to buy it from Shoe Palace after seeing my mother in law get dissed like that. Will take my money elsewhere and will not be returning to any Shoe Palace. Seemed like the prices in this place were nothing to write home about, so I don't know why the customer service is so budget.

I didn't even know how to pronounce the shoes when I called lol. I was on Google and was trying to find where I can buy some from that was close by... I didn't really feel like going far or a lot of other shoppers in the store, crowed.. just too much social anxiety. So I found this very cute aesthetic pleasing " nurse shoe store " I call it online. I called and spoke to Victor on the phone, he's the OWNER!!! Super cool chill guy...great vibes - I loved his vibe in fact. He told me what they had in store and what most Nurses go for but he had exactly what I needed. I came on by, he brought out sooooo many different brands for me to try on and even different styles in the different brands. He took his time with me, he was not rushed. Didn't mind helping me actually find a great shoe that worked for me, he even let me try on each and every one of them, measured them for me to make sure they were a great fit... There was me and another customer in the store and also another store associate I believe name Andrew!!! Everyone was super chill, it was definitely vibes. We all talked about shoes and the shoes we were looking into and I felt so comfortable. I really want everyone to come check out this store!!!! It's so hard to find a shoe store that FOCUS on COMFORTABILITY rather than TRENDY!!! And idk about you, but I'm getting up there in age and being comfortable means more to me than anything!!!! I want everyone to check them out!!! Parking right in front of the store. Which is also a score!!!! Oh yes, best part!!!! GREAT PRICES!!!!!!!!!!!! I will never go buy another work shoe anywhere else!!! EVERYONE RUN NOW DON'T WALK!!! CHECK THEM OUT!!!

Visited the Foot Locker at Emeryville Bay Street with my sister to look for Puma Big Kids sizing…read moreand had a very poor experience. Most employees were gathered at the cashier chatting instead of helping customers. When my sister politely asked for a different shoe size to compare, the associate was visibly irritated and repeatedly said "they're all the same," clearly unwilling to check the back. Only one employee was actually working and organizing the store. The lack of professionalism and customer service was disappointing. We ended up leaving and buying our sneakers at Shoe Palace instead. Management really needs to improve staff training and customer engagement. I hope management takes this feedback seriously by reinforcing customer service expectations, providing better training, and ensuring staff are engaged with customers rather than disengaged at the register. Experiences like this are a quick way to lose loyal customers and negatively impact the store's reputation.
