Friendly store after I got someone's attention to help me out . I haven't really tried any vans as much as purchased one. But today I found something I really like that's my style. I normally see solid colors being worn and don't even know they were Vans. My wardrobe consists of animal prints so this Era style really caught my eye and just had to have my first pair of Vans... I hope that they will have those glittery styles in women's size ... I would love to get a pair in the future !!! read more

Vans - Era style sneakers - Shoe Stores Near Me - Redlands, California

I came here to buy a few gift cards. Dontee helped me and he was very nice. He gave me some gifts that I had no idea I would get with my purchase. And then he gave me an ice cube tray set for spending over $100. I was so excited about my free gift that I started to leave the store until Dontee flagged me down and let me know I left my gift cards on the counter! Chelsey was working beside him and I watched her patiently help a woman who had three kids running through the store pushing each other. Chelsey kept her cool and was very polite to the woman. I was impressed. I would definitely shop here again and I recommend this store to others. Great customer service. (I just ran back in to buy more gift cards - easiest Christmas shopping ever!) read more

Vans - Easy Christmas and birthday shopping! Great customer service! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Redlands, California

My brother and i came in and we were greeted when we came in. We were helped by a very friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable Jake. He is very kind and very helpful and we appreciated his patience with our many questions and his willingness to help us find a Father's Day shoe for our dad. Thank you, Jake! I also want to edit and say thank you to Jeremy. He is very friendly and kind as well. Thank you so much for the amazing customer service! read more

We have been regular shoppers at this location for several years. It is a nice local store without the hub-bub of a mall. Today I came here to find a pair of shoes for my daughter. I was greeted immediately by Dakota. She was very sincere and friendly, she immediately asked what we were looking for and jumped into action. Unfortunately the style and size we were looking for was not available. And, of course, my daughter was not interested in anything else....so I was in a bit of a predicament. Well Dakota, was quick to offer multiple options, like ordering online or calling other stores. Although the other stores did not have, and online was out of stock we finally located at a mall in Moreno Valley. Regardless, Dakota was a refreshing service superstar and was sincerely committed to trying to locate our shoes. Great job Dakota!!! We will come back for this kind of service, even if you don't have what we need :) read more

I went to this store yesterday looking for a very specific shoe type for myself and my son. It was an hour away so I called first to see if they had it in stock. They did so I asled them if they could hold the shoes until I got there in multiple sizes to ensure proper fit. No problem. It took us much longer to get there than planned but they still had the shoes on hold. Found the ones that fit perfect for us and grabbed a few other items as well. The staff here is top notch. They are extremely friendly and helpful. Great job Vans staff! Keep it up. read more

When you go in and ask for certain shoes they ALWAYS bring out others. If I wanted others I'd ask for them! And if it's not extra shoes it's socks. If I wanted socks I'd get them myself. It's just too pushy there read more

I have brought my daughter here for clothes and shoes on many occasions and have been completely satisfied with the selection as well as the service. There's a wide variety of products available, so my daughter always finds something she likes. Also, the employees are always friendly, polite, and professional. Whenever we've had questions, they always answer them politely and demonstrate a lot of knowledge about the merchandise. Today, I called to inquire about the availability of replacement shoe laces for my daughter. The manager, Monica, informed me that Vans didn't sell laces specifically for the style of Vans that my daughter has. However, she had some extra ones left that she would give me free of charge. I dropped by to pick up the laces, and they were in perfect condition. This was such a kind gesture on the part of Monica. What she did is something that builds brand loyalty and guarantees that we will be back to shop at this particular store. read more

My girlfriend and I went into the store today and experienced horrible customer service. Right when we walked in, all four of the workers were huddled talking by the counter and did not greet us. When we were looking at shoes none of the four workers in the store offered to help us. Once we got up and getting ready to leave, finally one of the workers came up to us and asked if we needed a shoe size, which we declined after not getting acknowledged. I work in customer service/ retail myself and this is the worst I have seen. These employees need to be talked to and have better people skills. Please do better for your customers. read more

I stopped into this redlands store this afternoon around 130 -200, there were 3 Male customer, 4 Male sales associates. Was never greeted as I walked in, walked around the store, looked over the shoes on the wall as sales associates passed me by...still no hello or was asked if I needed any help So I walked out I was prepared to purchase some Vans, but because of their sorry customer service, I went to another Vans store. read more

Everytime I come into this store or even just call in , the staff is always so rude or full of attitude . I've worked at vans in the past so I know how uptight they are with customer service but this store just can't grasp that for some reason , has to be management issue read more

I love going to the Vans store and I went there 03/04/21 and Andie made my experience even better!! she was very kinda and made sure i got what i needed. she was very outgoing and recommended shoes because i told her my vans that i wear so much had holes in them and i wanted to try the pros of the all black authentic's because i wanted my shoes to last longer. she made sure that i loved my choice. she's definitely one of my favorites there!! this experience made me want to go in every week now lol. thank you andie so much for your help. hopefully i'll see you at my in n out soon lol read more

Aubrey, Tish, and Jeremy we're really nice, all 3 asked if we needed help and all 3 were on their game! The sweater I purchased didn't have a tag on it but Aubrey found the price for me really quick, very nice visit to vans. Thanks y'all. read more

terrible environment. the staff seem stressed and uptight. they try too hard to get you to buy their products.

If you're shopping for shoes for your toddler, I do not recommend this store. The staff were not only rude, and unhelpful but are not kid friendly and quite frankly couldn't have cared about assisting us. I was looking for shoes for myself too but have no decided to take my business elsewhere. read more

I highly recommend this store!! They are extremely helpful and attentive and make all customers feel welcomed!! Such a pleasure to shop here!! read more

I love this vans store. It reminds me of the standing vans stores in the 90's!! The service is great and store is always clean. I really like their selection. read more

I'm glad that this Vans store is here in Downtown Redlands because I love Vans but I hate going to the mall to get them. It's so convenient to just park in the large, quiet Vons parking lot, go to Vans in just a few steps, and then buy some snacks at Trader Joe's two doors away. I remember when Vans used to be around $30 during my prime middle/high school days. Nowadays, old skools are double the price. I'm sad to think about the day when they go up to $90, maybe 10 years from now. But yes, in my last visit, I bought some Old Skools, probably my fourth pair ever in my lifetime. I opted for the version with the extra cushion which was $5 extra and worth it. The staff here is pretty friendly in making sure you try the shoes you are eyeing. The store is clean and well-kept, with plenty of good options for that SoCal weather. I scored a coupon for $20 in my next visit! They tend to have promotions like this often. I plan to use it soon for a backup pair. read more

Every time I go in this store the employees are beyond nice and helpful. They are all very knowledgeable about their product. I mean, you know when you go in there what you are getting, but the Staff is so helpful and enthusiastic about Vans that it always makes me want to buy more than I go in there to buy! And I don't need help in that area, Ha! I love going in there to buy a product I know I am going to love. Being an online shopper, normally...that's really saying a lot. read more

The employees of this Vans establishment were kick-ass, Ellen and Dakota were very laid back and provided the best service, and created a relaxed and inviting environment. Yeah that's about it. read more

Went there this week and got 3 new pairs of shoes. Had Dontee help me out, he was really cool.

I'm terrible with names... But the guy who helped me pick out shoes for my boys had long curly blonde hair the kind that makes a gal jealous I was very indecisive and he helped me narrow it down and I was happy with the sales going on and scored free headphones that my son will love for Christmas! It was a perfect shopping experience... That being said. I Will be back :) read more

Thank you Ellen! (manager) As soon as we entered she greeted with a warm and inviting smile. She showed us all the new styles and colors of vans shoes but wasn't too overbearing like a lot of retail sales people tend to be. Ellen was also very patient going back and forth from the show room to the stock room. Then there was Dakota who was equally friendly and sweet. They worked so well together. It made for a wonderful experience . read more

I am so glad I thought of purchasing all 3 of my kids 1st pair of Vans here! Originally, I went to Leroy's on State Street to purchase shoes. I had each of my kids pick out 2 pairs to try on. It was more than apparent we are there to buy shoes. No one bothered to help us. There were 3 employees, 2 of which walked by us 3 times that completely ignored us. I'm glad I didn't put down the $200 at the store and chose to spend it elsewhere at the Vans store instead. Neil was so helpful! All around great customer service! Thank you!! read more

Came by to pick up some new shoes! Friendly staff and very helpful! Went out of there way to find what I needed. Will be coming back.

I was just here to purchase two pairs of shoes for my children (boy and girl, age 5) for school. Ashley and the whole crew were amazing. Not only did they bring us multiple sizes for each shoe each child wanted to try on (I limited my children to two pairs each to try), but they brought out styles the staff recommended. They took into account what our needs were, and brought us shoes to try accordingly. They were extremely patient, and offered to bring a variety of sizes to make sure my children got the absolute perfect fit. In addition, they measured my children's feet as well. Not only were they helpful, professional, and patient with us, but a huge group burst in while we were finalizing our choices (the group was actually pretty rude, and basically shoved us out of the kids' section) and demanded that staff bring them multiple sizes. Ashley and the staff somehow balanced finishing our visit and transaction with meeting the needs of the second group, all while being very patient. I have been a fan of the brand and that particular store since I was in middle school in the early 90s - next time my family needs shoes, we'll head over there first! read more

Clean store, good selection. The employees were very friendly, I just don't like how they stare at you while you're trying on shoes as if I'm going to shove them in my purse and steal them! It's very uncomfortable... read more

It was my first time coming to this store, but I had a really great experience since I don't purchase shoes very often and get decision paralysis with so many choices to go over. Dontee, one of the staff that helped me--was very patient in explaining the current styles he had in store, which ones were popular, which ones were great for walking/skating and a little interesting fact about the ones that caught my eye. He was very very knowledgeable about the product line and the history of each shoe and you can tell he takes the time to figure out what best suits your needs. Came for one but bought two! Highly recommend this store and the fantastic customer service was refreshing. Ask for Dontee! read more

The employee "Mark" or if that is his name is amazing. I didn't know what to get and he brought out styles that were truly amazing. I loved them all and I was so indecisive because of it, so now i have to save up and buy all of them. Great employee. Thank you read more

Even though this store did not have my size the manager Dakota went out of her way to find me a pair I really appreciate her and Cody I thank you this is my favorite store I love these guys read more

Had such a great experience here at Vans in Redlands the girl helping me literally spent an hour with me finding all and I mean all the right old school pairs of shoeS to purchase! read more

I visited on a Sunday afternoon without really knowing exactly what I wanted. The store was packed and there was hardly room to move around and see the shoes on display. The employees were all hopping and after a brief wait I was helped by Kimo. I was super indecisive and tried on at least 15 different shoes before I settled on a pair. Outstanding customer service....he never flinched as I kept asking for different shoes to try on. Just kept bringing out boxes with a smile on his face. I was planning to leave a 4 star review because the store is kind of small and the parking is a little tough but the great shopping experience is what kicked it up a star. Looking forward to many more shoe purchases in the future. Thanks so much Kimo, I love my leather slip ons! read more

I just came out of the store after purchasing items well over $75. If a customer is spending money at the store, we don't need to hear a sales person talking back. All of the male sales people were helpful and courteous, but leave it to the only female in the store to be rude and snarky. She needs to act her age and treat people with common decency and keep her ignorant comments to herself. read more

Just want to make a shout out to Michael who was very helpful, thanks Michael for going above and beyond

Great place, helpful, knowledgable staff. Natalie was great.

Greg, Jesse, Mike and the rest of the crew at the Redlands are always amazing! They go above and beyond 110% to make the purchasing experience fantastic! Super helpful and friendly ! They keep their rad demeanor from the first pair of shoes you try on till the 10th! They all make you feel so welcome and their store always looks neat and organized ! We've shopped at other local vans stores and this one for sure beats the rest! Keep rocking! read more

We've shopped here regularly over the past decade, and I really should take the time to compliment the salespeople they have here. They are always super friendly and helpful, and we all know selling shoes/having to deal with mothers and kids can be a big pain in the ass. read more

Good selection . Employees need to chill and let the shopper browse and shop without shoving the product at them . If my kids didn't like vans I would not shop there read more

an incident occurred one afternoon and the employees sent me and my sister to the back , offered us water , offered some entertainment on the computer , and were extremely nice and caring . read more
