Tonsssss of sneakers, cool vibe, very helpful staff and a great selection. There are some sneakers that are reasonably priced and others that were wayyyyyu out of my price range. But that's to be expected in this kind of place. It's a cool, no frills. As soon as I walked toward to myriad of shoes an employee approached me and helped me immediately after I told him what shoes I was looking for, after trying on two different brand of ASICS ,I decided on the Gel 1130. The salesmen what helped me wasn't the type to push you towards a certain brand or product and I appreciated that. Very welcoming, let me walk around the store with the shoes on, went above and beyond and rung me up. I will DEFINITELY be back to buy more sneakers in the future - thank you for the hospitality I love my sneakers, they are very comfortable. read more

Shoe Palace - My new ASICS Gel 1130 sneakers - Shoe Stores Near Me - Gilroy, California

Pros: Good shoe, clothing, and accessory selection, staff is friendly enough i guess, the price is about what you'd expect Cons: why did this take forever? i went in with my partner and it took like 15 minutes for them to grab shoes from the back, which might not be a long time but certainly felt like it when the most of the employees are not working. like props to the ones who were, i did see a few working hard but the rest were treating it like a paid yap sesh. certainly if your coworker is struggling to find something, go help? read more

Lazy and incompetent staff with of lack customer service. The staff needs to be retrained and held to a specific standard. Ordered shoes w/ them in person. Got them delivered. Happily paid a delivery fee since they were not in store. Shoes come defected. Went through every protocol emailing photos to customer service and talking to the store. No response in over 2 weeks... and so I called again. Managers of the store Angelina & Gerardo said they could not communicate with another shoe palace branch due to protocol and that they couldn't do nothing for another 2 weeks because someone was on vacation... unacceptable way to deal with customers. Therefore, I had to do all the leg work of contacting Chico Shoe palace branch to deal with Gilroy's problem. Thankfully, Chico stepped up and is handling the issue with exceptional service by just doing their job. read more

I purchased a pair of shoes and a matching hat from Shoe Palace for a trip. The hat was unexpectedly refunded without an explanation, even though I have timestamped screenshots showing the same hat continued to be advertised on their website. Because my purchase was time sensitive, I reordered the hat and had to pay shipping that I did not have to pay on my original order. What frustrated me most was the customer service. I sent multiple communications and called several times trying to get an explanation, including spending over an hour on hold on multiple occasions without reaching anyone. By the time I finally received assistance, my trip had already passed. The shoes are still unopened in the original shipping box. Shoe Palace initially offered me a $10 credit after everything I went through. After I objected, that was increased to $30. I asked for $40 as a reasonable compromise and was told $30 was the maximum they would offer. My issue isn't simply $10. It's accountability. Returning unopened merchandise gives Shoe Palace its inventory back and gives me my purchase price back, but it doesn't address the additional expense, time, delays, and effort I went through trying to resolve a problem I didn't create. I expected a much better customer service experience. read more

Prices aren't very good. The music is atrocious. Sorry I don't want to listen to rap music.

Worst customer service. Manager who said his name is Ojera has ZERO customer service experience. His shoes are mistagged with different prices and when you asked to honor price tagged he completely lies and says by law he doesn't have to honor any mislabeled shoe. He straight up told me that if I want them I have to pay full price and not price on tag or move over. I see a lawsuit coming soon on shoe palace for not honoring California retail laws. read more

Don't buy Nike Pandas from here.. if you do check for authentication details first! I didn't know anything about that until after a month of purchase! I'm like why are my shoes feeling so worn out and getting creesed so fast! (I know how to take care of my shoes by the way) and these are not being excersied in. So on the pandas I purchased they are 6.5y. The nike stitch on the back, is way off especiallythe E.. the tag behind the tounge is supposed to have the R with a circle around it next to the swoosh. It doesn't have it. Wtheck! I spent $99 on them. Pretty disappointed. Do better SP ! read more

My husband and i were just window shopping. We were treated by two employees who were very kind. One of the employees Jose, was very kind and respectful answer all my questions I had and took the time to explain whys and hows. So thanks again Jose I told you I would put you on yelp. read more

Service is great!! Although this location is within the Gilroy Outlet, they do have a minimal selection of sale shoes. Despite that, service is great and the guy who assisted us actually went to hunt for the right shoe and size. He even showed us similar styles as one didn't have our size. They offer accessories (hats, etc), shirts, and a small selection of sale items! read more

Nothing but praise and love for this store and to the person who created it. Nothing but REAL ONES work here. Great spot to buy a pair of sneakers, they have a lot of great options and when they have a sale going on.... the deals are amazing! I walked in looking for a pair Nike running shoes, and ended up leaving with an awesome pair of Nike Air Jordan 1 mid black university gold kicks. I really like this place and hope they're around for a very long time. I can't say I'm a professional sneaker-head. But if you are then this is the place for you. Very friendly and easy-going staff for the most part. I recommend the shoe palace - thank you. read more

If I could I would not give any stars to this shoe palace. They have the worst customer service. Specifically the employees working on Sunday, July 31, 2022 around 2pm. Monique or ranya "supposedly the manager" she was blonde was rude and kept making up excuses as to why the price on the shoe box was marked lower ($34.99) than what she actually charged ($79.99) and try to act like she had not just rang us up. I'm sorry but I've worked in retail before and let me tell you that I was taught that the customer was always right and you want to make sure you customer is pleased and a happy shopper. Not this staff. Since I walked in and ask they were trying to turn me away and were not even interested in asking any manager until I raised my voice. Make sure you check the price on the boxes before you actually pay and fight it. Because these young kids will get away with it. Like how Monique took the sticker off the box while I was fighting and. I'm we don't have evidence. read more

Girl with the glasses think she's the managers was there yesterday and she had the worst customer serve I've ever experienced. I had asked her twice if she can check if she had a size in shorts that I was looking for and she didn't even make the attempt to look she just said that's all they had. Her demeanor was awful I couldn't catch her name. Also she just kept eyeing me the whole time and pressuring me to check out while I was just looking at other shoes. Will never be coming back here!!! Worst experience ever shoe palace please get her fired! She was working there yesterday early in the morning Hispanic girl with glasses. read more

Bringing my grandson to Shoe Palace for new sneakers because it's the store he requested. I usually don't shop at shoe Palace because prices are a bit out of my price range, however, I was able to find a nice pair at a reasonable price at the shoe Palace outlet. My grandson is happy with his choice and I'm happy with the price. read more

Lots of shoes everywhere, really liked the nice styles for kids, staff were friendly but it was so busy I had to flag one down. Again though lots of nice shoes, different colors and styles than usual, nice hats and clothes too. read more

You know this place is trendy and loud! But the staff here makes up for that! They are Fast, Helpful and they provide tips on what is on sale, discounts that wasn't announced, next shoe alternative to the ones that are out of stock or they will look up the next inventory and ask if you want them to give them a call or just drop by when the inventory arrives. Very knowledgeable and these guys/gals won't hound, pursue, pressure you like most other retails sales! These peeps move around the whole store and they remember who they have helped! Even if you were on the other side of the store! Keep it up Team!! Management provide them a Free Lunch! They deserve it!! BTW love my new Adidas! read more

We came to buy shoes for my two daughters. Waited and waited and waited and waited - the lady who went to find shoes was rude and horrendous discourteous. Well she was also incompetent. She did not find shoes, did not come and tell us she did not find them.. very unprofessional and poor customer service. DO NOT SHOP HERE read more

Our 3rd shopping store, looking for Stephen Curry Under Armour shoes, they only had 3 selections. Red, Green and Blue.. Asked for a black, they didnt have, ridiculous aa black should be a common find.. Nevertheless, we settled for the red one.. As we went to the cash register, 2 registers were lit but only 1 guy was there so we fell in line at the other counter since the other guy was attending to another customer.. He asked us then to move to his line and when we moved, he asked us that the line was on the other side (where we initially stood).. After waiting there a young guy tried to assist us but the first cashier guy who ignored us first called us and said he will ring our order.. I got pissed and said you're making us dance here, we were not buying a cheap shoes!! So he rang the item and paid for it and just left.. Poor arrogant customer service here with non-friendly environment!!! read more

Shoe Palace - great catch of SC shoes but poor customer service at this location - Shoe Stores Near Me - Gilroy, California

Deceiving staff. Worst customer service. They call it high end shoe store but they are worst than any discount store. I bought pair of shoe worth $200. They switched one of the shoe with the display model which was all worn out and had dirt patches all over. Never buy anything from this store. Open your box & triple check the quality. read more

The experience here was awsome today. It was early so there wasn't many people in the store. The workers were extremely helpful and knew everything about shoes. All of them were able to answer any questions we had and made sure they weren't hovering over us either. I was happy with everything they had in stock for kids. Yet as for women's shoes, all the new styles didn't have my size and they didn't have the shoes my husband originally was looking for here. But I found some great UGGs that weren't out on the sales floor yet. Sweet! Pink Leopard. The shoes we picked out for the kids are so cool. And we were able to get the same ones for our son as well as our daughter. Pink for her and gray for him. I just want to thank shoe palace for offering great customer service and doing your job well. I recently went to vans and I wish I had went here. The environment was friendly and I liked Deja helping us. Thanks employees who worked yesterday! read more

Today I went into this Shoepalace in Gilory, CA and was looking for practical shoe brand Nike 270 a bigto the salesperson Michael Ruben Ivo went that extra mile & provide excellent customer service. Over all good service from sales associates to the Store Manager that was there today. 1st time walking into this shoe place and had a great experience, will continue to do business next time I'm in the area to buy my shoes there they have variety of shoe style. read more

Don't go here. Almost bought a pair but I notice it wasn't the original Jordan box. I asked the clerk if these were the original box and he said I don't think so. Come on, I'm not stupid. And still expected me to pay full price without even letting me know it wasn't fully original until I asked. read more

Trying to sell us a used Nike 97 shoes for full price. Work and tore.. Then Mexican guy was talking shit just because was credit for sale..

This is the second shoe palace I've reviewed and I gotta give it up to the guys at the Gilroy site. These guys are some hard working fellas. From the moment we stepped in, they greeted us and they helped us in finding the right shoe sizes and t-shirts. I believe Octavio was our sales person and I think he was only 16, but he was on point. I used to work at a shoe store, so I know how hard it is to get sales or how hard it is to deal with some customers. I must admit, he was a bit pushy at times to get a sale, but we knew that he was just trying to get his stores' numbers up. The store is well maintained and you can see that these guys were not lazy. The were constantly moving around, fixing or lacing shoes. When we were going to pay for our items, my friend's credit card had a problem, but Sergio, the manager of the day, was nice and patient while we called our credit card company to see what was going on with our card. I'll definitely visit these guys again whenever I'm down in Gilroy. read more

Hands down this is my favorite Shoe Palace! I always drive the extra 30 minutes to Gilroy because of the outstanding service provided (oh, and because I love the Cotton On store right next to it). Walking in, you will notice how spotless this store is and I am always greeted by the friendly employees. I love that they actually give you room to shop but are still attentive unlike some other stores, where sales people harass you causing you to walk out OR feel pressured to buy something you don't want. The manager, Matthew, always takes care of me whenever I come shoe shopping. The last time I was here, they didn't have the size needed in the specific shoe, but instead of hustling me into a different size, he ordered it for me and contacted me as soon as it came in. Five stars for this store! PS. I am SO excited that they started carrying UGG and Minnetonka boots in the past year. read more

These managers are holding shoes for them self's and reselling. Their frauds. Dont waste time on the raffles.

This SP crew is among the best in the company... I especially like working with Matthew, the store manager. I never feel like I am being oversold, their honesty is commendable. I also must commend the cleanliness and representation of their store. From a visual perspective, the store is on point. It's very shoppable with exclusive styles and colors of shoes, hats, clothing, etc. Def my favorite shoe store :) read more

My son is very picky when it comes to athletic shoes and today we took a chance by going down to the outlets. We went to Adidas & Nike and had no luck. It was suggested to us that we try the SP, well we have been to the SP in the mall and have experienced horrible service and the music was so loud I couldn't think. Today, we walked in with great customer service from Kivet who didn't try to sell me an overpriced shoe. He connected with my son and asked him what he liked in a basketball shoe and then guided him from a fashion shoe to a BB shoe that would benefit his needs while also fitting the shoe towards his body type. This was the best SP experience I have ever had and I will be making the drive down to Gilroy again. Thank you Kivet! read more

Came in and a young gentleman of the name Christian helped me in a quickness got my shoes for me and the lovely fay rang me up super friendly. Love coming to the shoe palace at the Gilroy outlets better than any other shoe palace (: read more

I came in to return some KDs that my wife bought 4 days ago that didn't fit me for another size, and they rejected me, said that they were super worn! WTH, all I did was try them on at home on carpet, I spend thousands of dollars at SP, Eduardo and his girl at the register messed up, won't be going there no more to shop. Bad service! Luckily drove up to San Jose SP, GREAT SERVICE FROM THE MINUTE WE ENTERED STORE, explained situation, with no hesitations they assisted us with return, even after I told them Gilroy location rejected them. Go to San Jose it's worth the drive read more

Very bad customer service. No type of engagement with customer. They kind of just stand there doing nothing.

Horrible customer service. They had the shoe I was looking for but I left bc the kid was so horrible and had no idea what customer service was that I just ordered them online Avoid this place. I've been to others that weren't so bad but this one in Gilroy is the worst when it comes to customer service. Employees were All high school kids and they act like they are doing you a favor by getting of their phone to grab you a shoe!!!! Damn!!! Doesn't anyone know what it means to be at work anymore. Is it hard for Managment to make a rule so there are no phones while your on the clock! read more

Extremely great customer service, always leave with the product I was looking for. I come here all the time, and everyone is extremely helpful and patient especially Lizette who helps me most the time and knows everything about the masters kicks, as well a young man named Tyler extremely sweet. Overall everyone is great! read more

I had a couple of bad experiences at this location. This store was chaotic. All the employees were running from one end of the store to the other rushing to get the next shoe sale. I hated having to wait for someone to come up to the counter to ring me up. There should always be someone at the cash registrar ready to help. For a pair of shoes that was out of stock in their store I was offered FREE ground shipping and told that the shoe would come from warehouses within 1-2 business days with delivery times ranging from 4-5 business days to their store. When I'd go and ask if my order had arrived, twice they were not able to locate the shoe because they hadn't "sorted the shipment". I asked for my money back. Prices are great but the service sucked and that's enough for me to stay away. read more

I can truly say that this has been the best experience I've ever had. The best customer service was through the phone and when all other shoe palaces put me on hold to later hang up minutes later, this shoe palace didn't. I really would like to thank the people here doing a great job especially Kayla. She was very polite on the phone and in person when I drove from San Jose to Gilroy. The trip was well worth it even during the 5-6ish light traffic. It's employees like Kayla that make loyal customers. read more

Shoe Palace - When you get the best customer service and kicks you need + want. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Gilroy, California

Today I went into the store with my daughter. Like normal, when we walked in, we were greeted by a young man. We proceeded to browse the shoes. 1st off, the store was not busy at all and had around 10 employees. When my daughter found a shoe, we walked toward 2 female employees conversing. Oh, they didn't stop when we approached them, so I let them finish their conversation. They both just looked. I literally had to ask them which one wanted to help us. One of the females said "you need a shoe"? Seriously, no I'm just holding the shoe. We gave her the sizes and she walked away reluctantly. I started to leave at that moment, but didn't. When she brought the shoes, she seemed a bit more pleasant. She hands us a shoe. I tried taking the shoe horn out, but couldn't, so handed it to my daughter. She removed it, but needed help with the laces. I started to undo them, then just told the girl she could leave because she was not being helpful. She said she couldn't leave the boxes. The whole time, Ms. Too Pretty to Work, is just standing there watching as we struggle. She asked another female employee to take over. I said good. Hoping the 2nd girl would be more pleasant. Her attitude wasn't as bad, but not better either. Unfortunately I was so disgusted, I grabbed my daughter, left the shoe, and walked out. PLEASE, this location needs to train their staff on customer service. HORRIBLE!! I had to give it 1 star just to post this. read more

Would I ever buy shoes for this place ???? NEVER!!! First it supposed to take from 4 to 6 days for them to deliver my shoes, It took them 2 weeks to deliver my shoes I try calling them and they never pick up there phone you have to call and call and call for them to pick up and when they do they are very rude .. Second my shoes fit me to big and u can't change them in the store it needs to be send back ., but check this out not only the shoes we're two weeks late but I need to pay out my pocket to send the shoes back and on top of that I need to pay restocking fee... hahaha !!! SO PEOPLE Don't BUY SHOES FROM HERE!!! .... So know what ?? What should I do with these shoes that don't fit me ??? Can't take them to the store because of your policies... which I disagree because it's from the same place read more

I wish I got the name of the guy who helped us at the register...McKenzie? His son is McArthur Ryan I think. Anyway, I want to give him a shout out for the way he handled a rude customer. My friend and I were in the middle of a transaction. However, the credit card machine was taking long to process so he struck a conversation with us. My friend has a daughter of 4, and he mentioned that he has a son who is 2 years old. We were chatting when all of a sudden the lady behind us said loudly with an attitude, "I'm ready!" We all turned around to look at her. She put her hands on her hips and said loudly again, "uh, I'm ready!" Needless to say we were stunned at her rudeness. The cashier politely explained that we were not just talking, that he was actually waiting for the card machine to process our transaction. He apologized to the rude lady and explained he didn't have control over the speed of the card machine and he was talking to us to be polite while waiting. He whispered an apology to us and he felt bad for the uncomfortable situation. The guy gave us an exceptional customer service, and I want to make sure his management knows it. Despite the rude and ghetto customers they get in the store he still had a positive attitude. Keep up the good work and don't let the rude people bring you down. read more

Do not purchase from this company!! They are frauds! Worst customer service ever!! You can't return items back to store if you have to do a return even though the product was damaged due to their fault you must pay a restocking fee! Horrible company! read more
