Paul’s Boutique

Okay — first things first — Paul’s Boutique is in Guildford Mall… in Surrey… (gulp). Not the first place you would imagine to have a good sneaker/​streetwear boutique — but all Surrey jokes aside, this homage to Beastie Boys (assuming the owner is also named Paul) is amazing for for streetwear and sneakers.
At first look, it may just look like a typical mall skate shop — but there’s something for every guy here, no matter what your style — the selection defies simple categorization.
Along with the usual skate brands (DC, Etnies, DVS, Vans, etc.), there’s are Converses, Vans and Gourmet. Paul’s has a huge collection of Nike SBs (probably the largest selection I’ve seen in Western Canada). All in tons of sizes!
The store is packed with clothing and accessories, featuring brands like LRG, 10 Deep & Crooks & Castles — along with a lot of skate brands and some smaller specialized labels. All the t-​shirts are organized by colour rather than by brand (like most other places), which is dope for those of us that love color coordination and helps expose brands whores to the smaller labels. You can easily kill half-​an-​hour here just picking through the tees.
However, it’s more than just another shoes-​and-​tees shop (which would be perfectly fine with me) — you can get outfitted from head to toe with the large selection of hats, outerwear, belts, jeans, wallets, bags and even SB socks. The buyer for the store must be insanely busy.
Finally, the staff is awesome — friendly and clearly knows their shit.
Absolute gem of a boutique in Guildford mall — just wish it was closer to Vancouver. Must-​hit if in the area or are looking for some SBs and everything to match.

This place is a killer skate shop located in Guildford Mall, out in Surrey. Spectacular collection of goods and items, with some of the most colourful hoodies, boards, shoes and shirts known to man.
Great staff that is always super helpful and frequent sales to bring in new inventory. They only ever stock 6 – 10 items of any one thing so you can almost be assured to be wearing something fairly unique.
I highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area and want to buy some kicks.
