Footage By the Cool Shoe Shine

Been selling and buying from these guys for a while now. Super easy to sell my stuff with and I find the most exclusive shoes with them. Highly recommend for consignment and if you’re looking for a shoe, there’s a good chance they have it! Thanks guys!

Our house guest wanted to purchase shoes and he did a little research and found this hidden gem in Brea. The consignment store is located in a small industrial plaza. We walked in and found ourselves in a small shoe haven! This establishment carries high end athletic shoes, most of which cost more than the average car payment. (Some shoes were closer to a monthly mortgage payment.)The employee that helped us was knowledgeable about each product; he was able to answer all the questions that were asked. The back part of the store had other items like hats, kids shoes, socks, and other high end knick knacks for sale. Our guest ended up purchasing quite a few pairs of shoes, enough to fill 4 shopping bags! Needless to say, he was a happy camper.

I’ve been going to footage ever since their very first store front on brea blvd. They’ve always been good to me with service and prices.
Some prices are set high but everyone complaining needs to remember that it’s the people consigning the items that sets the prices not them. All people reselling always wants as much as they can get.
Staff is always cool and knows what their talking about. I’ll continuously support them.

Asian guy that works here is beyond rude. You spend Big $$$$ and he treats you like he’s doing you a favor. Shoes are way over priced. Save yourself some aggravation and go elsewhere. Find some reliable people on Instagram or eBay. I was spending big bucks here. Wasn’t coming in browsing. SHM.

these people will RIP U OFF if u don’t know what’s up. check eBay, DO UR RESEARCH n see what ur shoe is worth. they will lie to u if u don’t know any better. i fell for their word today. live n learn tho.
if u ABSOLUTELY need $, this is ur last option.
dude at da counter, has a MAJOR attitude. what it really is is him trying to repress da facts a lil too hard n comes off like an asshole. da take it or leave it spill.
be VERY CAREFUL, they prey on ur lack of knowledge in order to maximize profit. n yes, i know, it’s a business n they gotta make their $. still, this kinda shop is further proof of how shitty da sneaker game has gotten.
msg me if u need more info. sold shoes here and will NEVER even step foot in their shop again.

Been in this store twice, the first time the dude behind the counter was awful! I tried again hoping someone else would be in there no luck; same guy and another elistest type in the back. I was looking to do a trade on some new Jordan’s and was ready to spend cash out of pocket. Every shoe I picked up the guy said how lame it was or that he doesn’t recommend it. Any question I asked seemed as if it was below them to answer. They have some really rare shoes, thats fine, but if I’m gonna drop any serious money I expect a little customer service. These guys have a smart business plan: buy your shoes dirt cheap by saying how imperfect or unsalable they are and reselling them way over legit price. Also they sell shoes on ebay for people who are too lazy to sell themselves. For consignment they charge a huge premium to put them on a shelf in a warehouse with horrible customer service. The five stars must be buddies of these dudes, it makes no sense. I usually use Unilocal to recommend business but I was so shocked at the way the treat costumers I couldn’t wait to get home and write this review! I would stay away from this location for sure and if they have a shoe you gotta have buy it online. Any way to avoid the guys that work there! although if you read post below they aren’t so good with online care either! If you still considering it go in, you’ll see exactly why I wrote this post.

Picked up a pair some running kicks from this place yesterday.
Again, got a deal on these kicks, basically for walking and running purposes.
With a little cleaning, they will be fresh again.
Nuff Said.

Love this place very reasonable with the prices better than LA Rif And Flight Club in my opinion

Ordered a pair of shoes online. Received the shoes in different sizes, meaning, one shoe was the correct size and the other shoe was a half size smaller. When I called the store to correct, whomever I spoke to made it very clear that; a) I was not going to be able to speak to a manger and b) «shit happens.»
While a full refund was offered I didn’t feel comfortable enough to simply send back the shoes and hope for a refund so I opened a Paypal dispute. Long story short, I received a refund for the purchase price only, not the shipping or return shipping charges. Fair, not really. I ordered a pair of shoes and received two different sizes, why should I pay for their mistake?
Issues: 1) We buy from this type of consignment shop for many reasons and one of those reasons is to guarantee authenticity. How can they claim to sell only authentic shoes when their quality control doesn’t even include verifying the size of the shoes? Answer, they can’t so, buyer beware and purchase at your own risk. 2) The unprofessionalism by the call taker/​employee was deplorable. Nothing other than the inconvenience of mailing back the shoes at my expense can not/​should not be the only option. For a manager not to be available and/​or even notified is beyond abusive on the part of the employee and as a representative the store and manager himself.
Must be noted that this was not my first purchase from this store. I had made three other purchases before the online purchase. Also, I travel from San Diego to Brea. That being said, I will never patron this store ever again for my shoe needs/​wants. Poor customer service would be a serious understatement.

Great consignment sneaker shop. The best part about this place is that the guys who work there really know their stuff. They are knowledgeable, but not elitists who talk down to you and think they know way more than you. Most of the big consignment shops in LA treat you like you are an idiot and you don’t know what is going on just because you aren’t wearing Yeezys into the store. These guys are cool no matter what you like.
The selection is good. The guys are very up-​front and honest and will help you find what you need. I’ve got shoes on consignment there now and I’ve bought some from them too. Will definitely buy more when I miss out at the retail stores.

This place is full of big head sneaker heads but they ain’t shit I was ready to spend some money I asked for help but this Asian guy behind the counter was quick to judge and just answered every question I asked with nah if I could give this place negative stars I would wouldn’t recommend this place to ANYONE

One of the best sneaker shops around. This place is my go to for exclusive sneakers. The people that work there are top notch and extremely helpful. All their kicks are authentic and legit and the prices are reasonable (you can even find some amazing deals in there if you’re the right size). Any exclusive kicks you’re looking for can probably be found here. This place is highly recommended and one of the best sneaker shops I know. Definitely hit this place up if you’re looking for kicks.

If you have that one sneaker that you can’t seem to locate anywhere and don’t mind paying consignment prices for this is the place to stop by. I live nearby and prefer coming here over flightclub and rifla which are great themselves but can turn into a madhouse on weekends and Brea over DTLA is an easy choice.
Walk in and take a moment to absorb all the sneakers around you and take a breath, then start browsing, lots of hard to find sneakers along with many GRs that you may have missed out on during release time.
Overall great shop for the Brea area.

Friendly staff. Great selection of both new releases and older gems. EBay steals for days here!

The BEST consignment shop!
FCLA: wayyyyyyy over priced
RIF: selection sometimes low (even if they post on Instagram otherwise they don’t put any of that stuff out) prices are sometimes high but sometimes great.
SOLESTAGE: low selection silly prices
FOOTAGE: Amazing! I’ve been to all the other places several times. Barely came here in last year and I’ve purchased more from here than other places. Great prices which you can negotiate with and staff is amaZing friendly humble dudes.

Pros: Great selection of shoes to choose from at fair prices.
Cons: Newer location but can be out of the way for some.
Overall: Definitely check out Footage if you are a sneakerhead or are looking to sell your pair of shoes.

Guys here are pretty cool. Store has a ton of kicks and collectables. Location is close to me which is even better.
I cosigned a pair of Lebron 8 V2 Xmas and the price I wanted was rather competitive, therefore, it sold within a month or less which was awesome.
I would definitely cosign here again.

I’ve been shopping THECOOLSHOESHINE since it was in Fullerton.
Overall, their selection of shoe’s is second to none and there in-​store customer service is great.
They do a buy back program and offer vintage Nike, Stussy and The Hundreds t-​shirts and misc items.
However, there customer phone service needs some help. They seem to get flustered easily when you ask multiple questions. Which is OK, not everyone can handle customer service over the phone well.
By no means does this reflect the overall rating of the store. They have improved greatly in selection and space since there move to Brea.
If your in the area, check them out.

Sneaker consignment shops are the backbone of the sneaker collecting industry. Buyers rely on these shops to source for them, any and every sneaker they want, and resellers rely on them, to provide their goods for sale, to a specifically targeted audience. It goes hand in hand, and the sneaker economy owes it all to these community-​based sneaker consignment shops. Forget about «Fraud Club». Shops like Footage hold it down for the general community of sneakerheads. You show a little bit of respect to them, and they’ll help you out. Rainer’s definitely one of the nicest, and stand up dudes I know. His location makes it easy for me as well. He pretty much has the Inland Empire, Orange County, and some of the SGV on lock.
Here’s a few tips for selling sneakers:
Tip #1 — Price it to move, not to sit! Otherwise your shoe looks no better than the exact same pair sitting next to it, for the same price.
Tip #2 — Honestly decide if you want top dollar, or if you want to sell it fast, because you can’t have it both ways.
Tip #3 — The rule of two. Either you sell your kicks in the first 2 weeks of buying them, or you hold on to them for 2 years, waiting for them to go back up in value. (Thanks Corgishoe).
Tip #4 — Always leave some meat on the bone for the consignment shop. Don’t be selfish, you young bucks. You want these shops to be around to unload your collections in a few years when you decide to «get out of the game» right? Then help keep their rent paid, otherwise you’ll be the one creating eBay listings, taking photos, dealing with lowball offers, relisting deadbeat bidder auctions, and packing up and printing labels for each shoe you sell. Trust me, that crap gets old real quick!
Tip #5 — Always sell your kicks through a consignment shop. They have customers and other guys just like you, who are always looking to buy and sell stuff, and that makes it a lot easier to sell your kicks, especially if the shop takes trades. Why not get rid of some unwanted stuff, and in return get something you really want? Everyone wins. The buyer, the seller, and the shop.

This place makes my feet happy but my wallet sad!
not to say it is pricey or that they overcharge, on the contrary they have some of the best prices i’ve seen for kicks.
Thanks for further enabling my addiction. Only further aggravated by the deep knowledge and excellent customer service that Footage provides.
Do yourself a favor and check this place out ASAP.
