Solid selection of sneakers and styles at the Oakridge Mall location. Staff was friendly and helpful when I needed a size. A bit hit or miss on availability, but overall a decent stop if you're already at the mall. read more

I came in here looking for a seasonal item for a Friday the 13th jacket. There was a clearance section that they directed me to however, Fernando G went above and beyond and helped me look through the entire section since I had no luck finding it. He went ahead and checked the back without hesitation or without me asking and he came back finding the exact jacket I was looking for in the size that was requesting. He ensured to take this customer Service level to a whole new experience which many people don't do nowadays and this is hard to come by! Service like that deserves to be appreciated, Fernando G definitely deserves a raise for taking his service to the next level without hesitation. He also had a great attitude and was extremely positive which I extremely appreciated!! read more

Shout out to the young gentleman who was busting his behind the entire duration of our visit. It seemed like it was only him manning the entire store- finding sizes, ringing up the sales. It was only when we were just about to leave when we noticed another gentleman beginning to ring up customers on the neighboring register. The shoe store was as organized as it could possibly be factoring in all of the foot traffic and unsupervised children running amuck. Back to school shopping is still in full effect so if you aren't interested in unnecessary large crowds gathering & people who don't give 2 effs about distancing.... I would hold off until everything dies down. Shoes are conveniently displayed throughout the entire store and sectioned off at designated areas for men, womens, and children. There are a good variety of shoes to choose from. With that being said, the customer service is always a hit or miss. You come in and are typically ignored, not the slightest bit of acknowledgement. The employees are teens who are more inclined to gossip amongst one another. Meh. 3 stars because you luck out every once in a while with a good visit. read more

Store information says this locations closes at 9 pm. I walked in at 8:35 pm and the roll up door was closed half way. The staff was generally discourteous and loudly said they were closed. read more

The service is TERRIBLE! It's impossible to get help from the teens working there. They stand around on their cell phone gossiping and when yo ask for help they are irritated. Ugh! read more

What I like most about this shoe palace is that I was able to walk in and browse, there were plenty of employees, but no one stood next to me and kept asking if they could help. They seem to understand the fact that in a shoe store The shopper is in exclusive browse mode until which point they want to try on a size. read more

How professional is it when a store manager lies about stock inventory, and then switches up her response to say that there's only less than 10 pairs of them. But then proceeds to indicating that there will be a live raffle and to come back tomorrow morning. Upon arrival to the 925 Blossom hill store located in Oakridge mall and what do you know how coincidental the female store manger tells me "we did first come first serve and they're all gone" right at opening. This is the same store manager who sells full stock to 1 person and changers people money on top of retail or will put "holds" on specific sizes which doesn't hold the integrity of the business as this makes things unfair for anybody else. In conclusion, this is just bad business practices that will tarnish the company name while creating disgruntled customers which is counterproductive in regards to the business they're trying to run. read more

Customer service is not good at all! It took us forever for someone to come by and ask if we needed help. Most of the workers were just standing around and talking to each other rather than working. Management should look into this!!! read more

Came in for back to school shoes for my grandson. They have a huge selection of shoes to choose from. Shoes are displayed on walls which makes it easier to see what they have. Wall displays are men's, women's, children's, and infants. They also carry sporting clothes and backpacks. Unfortunately we bib not find the shoes we were looking for however I did find a fancy pack on clearance for less than $5.00. It will be put to good use on walks and hikes. read more

If could rate 0 stars I would. Shoe was incorrectly priced and the Store Manager would not honor. I asked for the District Manager's number and she gave me a fake number. I asked for her name and she was extremely rude and stated that she "didn't have to provide her name". Upon speaking with the District Manager, he stated that he could not honor the price because it was a different shoe. When I asked for his next level manager, the DM stated that he handles all customer service issues. Where's the customer service? It's not my fault the shoes were priced incorrectly. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT SHOP AT THIS LOCATION. read more

Shoe Palace - Hard tag the cashier left still clipped on my purchases - Shoe Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

With all the negative comments about poor customer service you would think corporate would do something to make it better. This location in particular have poor customer service and the Manager has cocky attitude. He said he didn't care if I didn't shop there anymore. You will lose customers with this type of attitude. You definitely lost me ; I'll never shop there again! He was downright Rude. Talking about customer satisfaction. I wish I had read the reviews first before stepping in there. The return policy sucks, think TWICE before purchasing anything from there. You need to hire professional workers and more flexible policy in order for your business to grow and prosper! read more

Bunch of little kids work here. They back door the sneakers thats why we never win raffles. I know the owner im gonna have a talk with him.

I was impressed by the customer service provided at this location. I was greeted by Eliza, who was near the entrance at the time, and she had asked me if there was anything in specific I was looking for. She guided me to a room which was desginated specifically for Jordans, and had brought me a pair of new Jordan 3's in a purple and white colorway. I was shocked at the fact they were sitting in stores, but nonetheless, I gave in to a purchase. She went above and beyond and ran to grab my shoe. That is salesmanship I can admire. Not only was she very helpful, but so was the cashier. Words cannot express how easy it was to acquire a new pair of kicks today from this location. Huge shoutout to the associates for all their hard work they put in. read more

My niece has Chucks in every color, but now she needs Jordans to complete her new look. Who does she come to for the bling-bling? Her uncle, of course. I should be grateful she is still in the b-ball shoe phase, soon it will be Choos and Louboutins. It's okay, I got this. So I went to Shoe Palace in Oakridge Mall on Sunday because I knew they had half their store allocated to Jordans, all in a separate chill-looking room, possibly the largest selection in the area, not that I would know for sure, but it looks like a lot to me. I showed up armed with the picture my niece sent me of the shoes she wanted, I showed it to Charles, his eyebrows lifted and he said, "man those are retros, they sold out quick, you will need to find them online and you will pay through the nose when you locate them." Okay, so I'm going to have to do some online shopping, no problem, I can't let her down. But since I was at Shoe Palace already I asked Charles to show me the popular styles. He was very helpful. I snapped some pics to show my niece and left empty-handed. Sunday night I sent my niece the pics. I told her I would track down her retros, but wondered if she wanted any of the styles I saw in addition to those. She circled two options. Today I returned to Shoe Palace when they opened and Hubei helped me. He was also very enthusiastic and helpful. It was early so I had the store to myself and Hubei's undivided attention. Although my niece told me to buy A or B, whichever they had in her size, they had both in her size which is great because I'm not a "this or that" kind of person. I'm a "this AND that" guy. There's a difference. She gets two pair now. I'll still hunt for her retros. A girls has to have shoes and I know she likes to have options for her various looks. I'm an uncle, it's what I do. Shoe Palace is clean, well organized, plays bumpin' music and has a friendly helpful staff. As for prices, I couldn't say if they are high or low. Overall it was a good experience. I would go back again. read more

Bought basketball shoes for my son, he played 10 mins in school gym and said they dont have a good grip. Take it back to the store and they said its used and dirty and that the receipt says return back in "new condition" . I said how will we know if we dont use them at least once , and the store people said it has be brand new and not used . So much for a return policy , rude service and absolutely lying when they sold the shoe talking about a very flexible return policy !!! Never going to Shoe Palace !! read more

That was my first and last time shopping there. me and my kids always Wana buy shoes from here but we never bought because they were very expensive. But this time we made courage to buy a pair of shoes from here as my son could find any brand name shoes from oak ridge mall that he like. We were very happy finally we bought what he like. Next day he was complaining that mom my shoe is falling apart I was shocked It was not cheep pair of shoes we bought and above all my son didnt run or play with it he just went to mall and meet family I took the pair to the store they didn't return it as my son wear it.can u believe that.i don't care about customer service or how fancy is the store or how expensive the shoes are. when they r not standing with their own products. It was totally unfair and unethical. I don't want anyone to lose money or stuck with unwanted pair of shoes. read more

There are plenty of places to buy shoes, don't waste your time here. Experienced a horrible experience in the store last week when I tried to exchange some shoes for bigger ones. The shoes were bought by my Mother for my son right as Covid Quarantine began. They have never been worn and the staff said it had been too long despite the mall being closed almost entirely last several months and the county being on mandatory SIP. We didn't have a receipt but offered to show credit card receipts or find a resolution. If that's their policy, it's poor and not up to speed with their competition, especially during these trying times and given that we didn't have an option which shutdown. Worst off, the cashier was absolutely condescending and rude, and hasn't the slightest bit of class nor received any customer service training. This is why companies die, and expect this local franchise to be history soon too. They certainly will never gain a sale from me again. read more

My boyfriend bought me adidas shoes to surprise me. The shoes were super nice and he knew I wanted them. He explained to them my shoe size was a 7 and he wanted the equivalent to that in a kids size. They give him a 6. A six in kids is an 8 in women. Apparently working at a shoe store doesn't require you knowing the right shoe size. The quality of the workers has slowly declined and it's just bad representation of the company. It's extremely disappointing having to go back and try and return them or exchange them at least but a little bit of dirt you can just wipe off doesn't mean they'll let you return them. You're better off at other shoe stores then coming here. read more

This place is great! I'm a huge shoe addict and this place have a huge selection of brands styles and colors!

Definitely like shoe paradise as soon as I walked in I wish I took some pics there but I was to happy with my purchase that forgot to take em.

Shoe Palace - Kyrie 4s with that mamba mentality! DOPE! - Shoe Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

Started off as a nice buying experience and I really liked the shoes store However, the shoes didn't work out, and I wanted to return it. That's when the experience turned upside down. I talk to the awful manager that couldn't handle the problem He was awful. The only thing he said was you cannot returns. They have good products at a reasonable price but the customer service is terrible so you better be 100% sure that it's the right size or you won't get your money back.. I will never go back to this place read more

I don't normally shop at shoe palace, but I heard from a friend that they had a really good converse selection, so I came by one day. There is an awesome selection of shoes on all the walls. It took me a second to find the converse. Once I found a few pairs I liked, I was approached by an employee who helped me tremendously. Noor helped me get the right size for me, and she helped me decide between two different colors. She has a really great positive attitude and made me feel so welcome in the store. Next time I need a pair of converse, I'm going to go straight to shoe palace and ask for Noor. read more

We love this store! The whole team is very helpful. We shop at both stores in the mall and get great customer service. The Manager Damien and his team are quick to assist and if something isn't in stock they do whatever it takes to locate the merchandise in the near area. It's awesome to see the stores working together. We will always shop with Shoe Palace for myself and the family, especially the Oakridge Mall location. Thanks again! read more

Horrible, Horrible customer service. I walk in passing an employee at the door who didn't great me at all, then I walk over to the shoes and found some I liked, so I start looking around for someone to help me with no one paying attention. I walked up to the employee at the front door to see if he can help which he passed me off to someone else. I asked for a shoe sizer which I was told "we don't have one", YOUR A SHOE STORE!!! How do you not have one?! . I asked the employee that helped me for a 6 or 6 1/2 which he came back handed me a shoe and said "6" and walked away. Never told me they didn't have a 6 1/2 or even that the shoebox with the other shoe was going to be at the check out "NOTHING". When I checked out he was there behind the cashier and handed her the box and didn't say anything like "how was everything?" did they fit good? Here is there box? NOTHING!! Also I forgot when I went up to the guy at the door to get help he was texting on his phone. I will NEVER NEVER shop here again. read more

I can understand why this Shoe Palace location in Oakridge Mall has 2 1/2 stars! We've been shopping at Shoe Palace for many many years at the Oakridge Shopping Mall, and today was the first time I had a very bad experience. Standing and waiting for 15min many of their employees just walked right past us like we weren't there. I stopped an employee walking towards the inventory room, asked him for a pair of shoes for my son, so as we were still waiting for him, I had stopped another employee that was walking to the inventory room and asked him for another shoe. (I mind you that 10-15 min had passed and the first guy hadn't come back...that's why I asked 2nd person to help - since he's already waking to inventory room) A few min after waiting for a very long time, a nice young lady asked if we've been helped, I said yes. Finally the first guy comes out and he said very rudely, "don't ask another person to help you when you already have someone else helping you...you're taking up staff by doing that"...I then asked him if he was the manager, he says yes, then I asked him for his name? He said BRENDEN (I think that's how you spell it). I then said to him "You are RUDE!..we've been waiting for a LONG WHILE! The manager then turns to my son (without any concerns and with a huge lack of customer service) and tells him that your shoe is out of stock but here's another one that's similar. My son tells me that he doesn't like them. Manager leaves us without hesitation... Still waiting for the 2nd guy to bring out the other shoe, and then which he walks right pass us and at the same time that nice girl asks me again if we still need help, I said uuuuh I think that guy that walked passed us was helping us, and coincidentally the manager BRENDEN passes by and hears everything and says the other guy is helping another person then asks me which shoe my son wants, then comes out with the shoes and disappears. So now at the register, I was greeted by that same gal, I ask her if the employees gets some kind of credit for helping customers? She just smiled...I didn't wait for her response and I quickly said..if so, please put this sale in your name, cause you were the only ONE person here that actually helped us "BY ASKING IF WE NEED ANY HELP?!" She then asks me my name, then I asked her name...her name is Lani (I think that's how name is spelt), she shook my hand and said thank you! Wow!! Omg!! This whole time I'm thinking bad customer service! I had to ask for help after 15min of waiting! No one asked to help us...besides that nice young lady towards the end, she actually wanted to help us. Manager Brenden was very rude, he should've approached me in a different way of talking to me sincerely, the 2nd guy blew me off and never got us my sons shoes!! I would've been ok with the manager telling me in a professional manner- like - hey for the future, please have just one person help you, the reason is we are under staffed and are busy on weekends, this also allows more employees on the floor to help other customers, please understand. But he didn't use any professionalism in any way or manner! Just plain rude and a jerk about it! Only if the manager Brenden had some customer service skills like Lani! read more

Recently I was at Oakridge Mall at the Little Shoe Palace and all I have to say is wow. I've been going to the bigger shoe palace for a couple years now but decided to check out the new remodeled little shoe palace and was shocked how good the service was. The manager Yousif and his sales team were happy to help me get sizing and give recommendations. I originally was there to browse around and ended up walking away with 2 pairs of shoes. The team was constantly keeping the store clean and attending all customers while I was there. I will for sure be returning to buy more shoes. read more

This place rocks! They had a couple new releases for Jordan retros and I was able to score after a few guys flaked on the raffle win. Just ask the employees if any retros are in the back. Also asked if anyone did not pick them up. Go at the end of the day and the manager might let you have them. My go to place for Jordans in the Oakridge area!! read more

I bought some shoes online and couldn't return to store so had to pay $16 to send them back to warehouse in MorganHill.

I recently bought basketball shoes not knowing anything about basketball shoes I leaned on the advise of the sales associate, guidance. Bought the shoes $180 I try them on tell them they're a bit tight and that I have wide feet but I was told they'd break in. I attempted to play 30 mins with them they were so uncomfortable in an attempt to return them I was just told no straight out. I've forgotten why I don't shop at shoe palace now I remember why. These are performance shoes how am I to test them just walking around? So now I'm out $180 dollars for shoes I won't wear. I get having the no return policy on the receipt is a cool way to get around things but performance shoes when sold should be told blatantly about the policy. Would've thought twice about buying them. Good service guys read more

I come to this shoe place since I was born and raised in San Jose i don't care what the haters gotta say. However this Sunday 2/7/21. I came in to pick up my moms shoes but as I walked in I saw the employees making tik toks. A short frog like creature asked me if I wanted to come out for his tik tok his name was Jaime. I said no but he insisted I record him posing. I felt uncomfortable WILL NEVER RETURN HERE AGAIN!!! Jaime and the girl with him are terrible employees. read more

First shoe palace that me and my sister have went to and was actually helped! The staff seemed eager to help and it was an amazing service.

My boi jamie is a hard worker, but just know he is always down to squabble up with any foo

This place has all the typical elements of a mall shoe store. Theres always the music, and the guy with fancy shoes that comes up to you and wants "to hook you up." Kudos to this store for not only having the brand of shoe I want but also the style I want. My only real comment is the guy that helped me was pretty pushy towards me buying shoes. I honestly think he asked me if I want to buy them the second I finished tying them up. I don't remember how many times I was asked if I wanted to buy them, but it was a lot, in a short amount of time. Im usually pretty relaxed about buying shoes and when my mind is set on buying them I usually will regardless of how it feels. Good thing my gf was there to tell me to try all the sizes, and with both feet. I defintely had the guy working hard getting me shoes in the back. Probably the opposite of what he likes to do since it seemed like he wanted to make the sale super quick. Service is as expected, just a little pushy in my experience. read more

The staff is rude and it is obvious that they do not care about customer service. Was walked by and ignored. Then when we finally received some attention and the service was horrible. If you know exactly what you want and won't care about being treated like a valued customer this is the place. Will not come back here unless and until they learn how to treat people. Oh also, you can get COVID by having your feet measured. They will let you try on and handle multiple shoes yet they won't let you use a sizer that can be sanitized easily. read more

Customer service takes on a entirely new form here. As I walk in and start looking at shoes, the first employee walks up and says, "What's up dog?" and attempts to give me the multi-step hand shake. I tell him I'm just looking and he starts helping two young men (I'm 47). They are speaking about the weekend plans by using offensive terms and words. I suddenly feel like I'm stuck in the middle of the ghetto. I wait for the employee to finish his conversation by facing him patiently, so I can ask him how much a shoe on the top shelf is. They never speak about shoes. He never returns my gaze. I wait for about 5 minutes (not a big deal) and the other employee approaches me. I ask him how much the shoes on the top shelf are. As he walks by me towards the shoes, he slaps my chest three times. I'm stunned (no touchy!) at this point, but realize this is his way of "being friendly". He gets the shoe down, by using another shoe to knock it down. After telling me the price and learning that they are cheaper at Nordstrom, I thank him for his help and start to turn to walk out. He says to me in a slightly frustrated voice, "How am I supposed to get this shoe back up there?" I really don't expect much customer service, and a little common respect goes a long way with me. A simple, "let me know if you need anything" is all that's necessary most of the time. The employees here have no idea how to treat anyone over 25 years old. I'm wondering if Shoe Palace employees are encouraged to speak "street" and act like they just walked off an episode of Maury Povich. read more

OBVIOUSLY the employees here work on commission & since this store is kind of like that ghetto club you've been to but never will again- they have no shame in tryin' to hustle you. I have no problem being greeted, but when I shop, I'm thorough, thoughtful, & like some peace to debate the purchase. The employees here pounce on you the second they see your iris hit a shoe & ask you if you want to try it on. If you do, before you can even finish lacing it up they are pressuring you to say you'll buy it. I hate these types of stores because it is such an uncomfortable way to shop & I think the prices are high. However, my boyfriend likes a certain brand of shoe that they carry a lot of styles in, so we often come here. Lucky for the employee who forced his way on us, we already came prepared to buy. My boyfriend doesn't shop. He knows what he wants and he only goes in to buy it, but regardless, the employee could've given us a bit of breathing room! Lucky for my boyfriend, I was there to make sure he backed off a bit so he could have some time to try on different sizes, try on both shoes, & walk in them to make sure they were a good fit. You MUST do this here- they offer NO REFUNDS! (& exchanges only within 14 days). Also be prepared for them to push some more commission cleaning products on you as you check out. read more

Shoe Palace gets 4 stars from me. I actually feel alittle bad about the 4 star rating due to the fact that I have known George the founder of Shoe Palace since high school. We go waaayy back, he hates it when I mention this but I remember when George was selling shoes at the flea market from the back of a truck...lol. Anyways, I love this place they always seem to have the most styles to choose from and the best prices anywhere, If you find a better price just let them know and they will beat it. But the sales staff tend to be a little aggressive at times, As you walk into the store they are instantly like "Hey whats up boss what can I show you?" even before I get a chance to look at what they have to offer. Sorry George for the 4 star rating but I am proud of you and your expansion to the LA area. Tell your sales staff to calm down a bit and you will get 5 stars from me or give me a little break on the pricing since I am a VIP customer...lol. read more
