I wanted to leave a review after the great service I received. Kudos to Ben for helping me find a discontinued shoe and going above and beyond to transfer them so I could purchase them. Thank you Ben for being polite, helpful, and getting me the shoes I was looking for. 5 stars read more

Always have good deals . Must remember that this is an outlet store you see something you like GET IT chances are it won't be there again. They always have some kind of deal just ask . Mia was very helpful . I have had six kids and my self buy shoes here over the years. read more

I love me a good deal. I used to shop here and buy cute shoes, waiting for my kid to grow into them. It's happened to me on two occasions now where the outlets sell shoes with misprinted sizes. As in, my kid fit into a vans size 9 but not a size 9 in their clearance shoes. Very frustrating. read more

I nearly have forgotten about this store but remembered that it existed. I was in search of some ultra range high tops and when I called in they had the size I needed here!! Not only that the girl that helped me over the phone exceeded my expectations with her customer service and knowledge! Thanks Mariah G. Selection: they had pretty dope selections for kids and mens- for womens - not so much. Sales items- they had a small decent selection of clearance items like hats for $4.95+ Clothing- mens wear looked stocked up Womens- limited - mainly had one rack for chicks in small. read more

See all

Selection was not the best but that's expected considering it's an Outlet. Customer service was spot on. We were greeted upon entering and were asked several times if we needed any help. Employees made recommendations on how to find hard to find shoes. Definately recommend starting here. If you find what you are looking for, you can't beat the prices. read more

Every time I've come into this store, the employees have been awesome. They always welcome me and do whatever they can to help me find what I need. I always leave satisfied with my purchases and experience. The location is small, but it always looks organized and clean. Location parking can best be found in the CVS parking lot. The traffic in this area can be heavy at times so drive with caution if you've never been to this store. read more

Vans Outlet - Shoe Stores Near Me - El Cajon, California

Waaay overpriced! They change prices up and down according to the current sale they have going. Customer service is hit or miss.

Shout Out to the Vans Outlet store on Second St! My grandson and I had the most amazing experience there Saturday! It was soooo crowded...BUT everybody was wonderful! The staff was great, the customers were great...it was like I had stepped back in time where everybody was kind and looking out for each other. Looking back on the day and time that we were there and it was fun! (Full disclosure...I do not like to shop, so for me to say that it was fun...is HUGE). We met two amazing men (customers) and one took my grandson to geek out on Vans shoes and the other gentleman and I reminisced about the good ole days...I laughed with other customers about our kids, about how crowded it was and how it was one way to "get to know your neighbor". If you were in the store Saturday between 2:00-3:00, you know what I mean! Thank you to the staff for being helpful and kind and asking if you could help. I watched you ask everybody...I watched you work together as a team to get the product that people were asking for. Not once did I hear any of you say "No"...you said that you would be happy to look. If you didn't have the size, color, whatever...you gave suggestions. It was soooo refreshing! Be kind to each other out there!!! Keep it up!! read more

Walked in this establishment looking for a pair of shoes for my niece and they didn't have much. Upon arrival no one greeted us ,no one asked us for help and no one said anything as we were leaving. They lack customer service the woman with the dread was rude and rolling her eyes as my baby niece was touching the shoes . Other than that I think San Ysidro outlets has more variety in my opinion read more

We drove over 100 miles to this vans outlet.. because they offered buy 1 get 1 half off deals on shoes. The shoes I chose had the same sign above them for the buy 1 get 1 half off deal. The sign also said all shoes in red writing. When we went to pay they said my shoes weren't part of that deal. . And now when I got home I found a price sticker on the bottom of my shoes for $50..that's $10 less than they changed me.. I suggest everyone rethink giving this business your hard earned money read more

I came here during COVID-19...the employee's did a great job making me feel safe while shopping in such small quarters. Everyone who works here is so so nice I asked if they could look in the back like 4 times for different pairs of shoes and every time them were happy to do so! Awesome Vans Team! read more

I'm not a fan of Vans myself. I can't recall ever owning a pair in my life. I have stopped in the store with my friend several times. He's the opposite of me. Where foot wear is concerned all he wears is Vans. I've known him over 20 years and don't think I ever saw him in any other shoe. I've visited this location on several occasions when my friend wanted to go. I've never been able to find shoes in the right size color style and price, hince the 3 stars. read more

Great selection and a big variety of sizes. It's a bit of a drive to get jere but they have buy one get one deals. We found shoes for everyone in our family and their no show socks rock! read more

The store is fine. This review is regarding an employee. I was in there for an exchange so I was only inside the store for about 5 min. The guy with the glasses and super long hair- he was so negative. Twice I heard him make negative comments and I was in there for only 5 minutes. Regarding my exchange he said "Oh I don't think we will have them but I'll check anyways" which they did and that's why I was in and out. Second time a lady asked for kids velcro and he said "if this is regarding the buy one get one 50% off it's going to make it so hard for the Velcro but I'll check" I don't know. He was so negative. All the other employees were fine. They all smiled and greeted you and said good buy. That one guy tho made me log in to my yelp write this review. read more

The sales staff were great, however when I took my regular priced shoes (50.00) and my sale shoes (67.95) to the counter, I was told that my sale shoes had to be less than my regular shoes and did not qualify. What? No where does it state that, and talk about bad practice. Make it the least expensive is 50% off. So, it's not really buy one at regular price and get a sale shoe 50% off. read more

I recently found this place on a whim. I was going to go pick up my car and my girlfriend pointed it out to me that we just passed a VANS Outlet. In the middle of El Cajon, So I made a U-turn at the next light and for sure it is a small Vans Outlet. The prices are all marked down, and i was able to get a pair of shoes for $10 and a free pair of slippers. read more

Vans Outlet - Shoe Stores Near Me - El Cajon, California

Great customer service experience, but the problem that I have is that all of the popular shoes are excluded from the great holiday sale. The least popular Vans that everyone seem to fall in love with are the one which they promote with the deals. They "$25 Vans bucks" card is ONLY VAILD after Christmas which I believe is a way to get more ppl to buy their shoes but when they go and try to use the coupons they're denied. That's terrible marketing and promotion towards customer service read more

WHOA!!! don't go here!! Super over priced, their sales are a joke! $45-$55 for a pair of Vans and they have huge signs everywhere that the 2nd pair is 1/2 price.....bait and switch!! Of course read the fine print. These shoes are half off not those shoes. Just like Steve Martin in The Jerk....."you can have anything from this shelf to that shelf, from that shelf two inches down to this shelf, and from that ugly shoe to this ugly shoe" Anyway, shop online better prices. Plus this place is the size of a closet in a bad part of town, you would expect better prices. read more

I don't know that I would consider most of these "outlet prices" but I did get a good deal on a 2nd por after paying $60 for the first one. Decent variety and friendly staff so with a little luck worth the trip read more

Love this place. Always adequately staffed. Came in and got 8 pairs of shoes for $110 (with coupons). Greeted right away and asked by everyone there if we needed any extra sizes which helped a ton since we had our brood of children. (They were nuts) Kendall was super sweet and Bella was beyond wonderful; bagged us up and had us on the way quickly. To the employees...y'all are rocking it with your teamwork! read more

If they have what you need then it's great. Both times I went they didn't have what I was looking for. Not their fault. Someone beat me to my sizes. The people working there are always friendly and helpful. The only drawback is parking. I use the pharmacy lot next door. read more

Sure they have a slightly bigger selection of shoes than the Vans store at Parkway Plaza Mall, but guess what, the price is exactly the same! Shop here with that in mind, outlet usually means a better deal, but not here! read more

This Vans outlet is my favorite place to get Vans in San Diego! I always go here for my vans because of the buy one get one half off promotion. The selection that they have is great in my opinion and I always find sale shoes that I like. I personally try to go at least once a month because they always get new sale shoes. I walked in expecting to get one pair of shoes for my mom and I walked out with four. They definitely help you out looking for sizes, recommendations, and more. They treat you with a smile when you walk in and out of the store. The whole staff team is dope people with great personalities. Overall my experience here is aways great. read more

I love love love this store!!! Their sales are amazing. I only buy my vans here. I just went about two month ago when they had a bit one get one 50% off. I got four pairs of vama for 49$. That was a major steal. I can't wait to go back for more. read more

This is one of the best shoe stores I have ever been to! It is a discount store and you don't get as much help maybe as at Nordstrom's but the employees here are impeccable! We had such a great experience yesterday getting my sons shoes for back to school. They have great deals especially this time of year for new shoes. The shoes are just awesome anyway but having this experience makes it better. I come back here every time when we need shoes! If you come here you will not be disappointed! read more

Amazing deals! Be ready for a good steal. Back to school shopping at its finest. Stock up while you can!

Is there a zero stars option? Shoes marked "on sale" & then the manager, Myra, peels the sales price off & says it's a full price shoe. Huge waste of my time & ridiculous. The service was so terrible that I actually wrote a bad review. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Incredible selection! If youre lookimg for cheap sneakers in general, they even have overstock era's for around 20 bucks. Not a bad deal. They had reissues and all sorts of cush pro/cush lite options, as an avid freestyle longboarder I felt in heaven. Friendly staff, great prices, nice organization. Will be back soon when I'm home from school. read more

I love buying Vans and all. I hardly come to this store but tonight I did. We walked in there and no one greeted us or asked if we needed help. We had to ask for help. The lady who rang us up was like, "did you know these aren't part of the sale deal." Or whatever. Like, there was signs up talking about buy one get one 50% off. If an employee approached us and informed us of what the deal was, then there wouldn't have been any confusion. We still got what we wanted but I could've went to the mall and got better customer service. read more

Super friendly staff. I stopped in today (on our way home to LA) with my husband and four kids. The staff was really helpful and nice. It's a pretty small store but still had lots of great deals. read more

I went to this outlet to return and exchange two pairs of shoes. The two people that helped me were kind and helpful. When I got to the register the worker her same was Kendall, she was the worst customer survice I have ever recived. She acted like she hated her job. She was one of the rudest people I have ever met. She was even rude to her co-workers. I will never go back to this outlet again. I feel bad for the people who work with this lady. read more

I am having the hardest time finding a certain size 13 shoe for my son so i called the vans store in Horton Plaza and the young man told me they had all been sent to the outlet stores. I called El Cajon Vans Outlet and got this awesome employee Chris who actually dug thru the boxes looking for me, yes took the time to do that, I could hear it! Came back to the phone and said NO they did not have it but they were expecting another shipment and I should call back @ 3:00 today.. NOW THAT IS OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE! UR AWESOME CHRIS! read more

I'm not ever one to write reviews but the employees at this store were absolutely rude. Particularly the girl with the dark long hair. I went in and had multiple shirts I wanted to try on. I asked one of the guys if I could have a fitting room. He said there were boxes in there and then went to ask the girl with the dark hair if I could still go in and try them on. She said no, so I then asked her if they could hold my items until the fitting room was cleared of the boxes so that I could try them on. She told me the longest she could hold them was until the end of the day. When I asked if the boxes were going to be cleared out today she said probably not and was extremely rude. She refused to hold my items until the fitting room was available for me to try them on and was arguing with me that there's nothing she could do. I don't understand how if the fitting room isn't available for me to try things on why she couldn't hold the items for me until they were. After many rude comments from her I asked for the manager who seemed to have no issue at all holding the items for me and then actually said that she could move the boxes out real quick. Took them less than 5 mins to move the boxes out. I purchase many items from vans but I will never be back to this location as long as that employee works there. So disrespectful and rude. read more
