The owner, Jeff, is very caring and wants to improve your ability to be more comfortable in whatever shoes you wear. He was not pushy in SELLING a pair or shoes to fix my issue, but rather provided options. In the end, he found one leg to be shorter than the other, hand crafted inserts to meet the needs of both feet, and improve my gait! How awesome is that! And what is even more awesome is he provided additional inserts so that i could use my other sneakers and even sandals and did not have to purchase another pair of shoes!!! So, in the short of it, in the future, my first stop for shoe or leather repair or purchase of a new pair of shoes (they have all styles), will be The Shoe Lab!

Will return. Given…read morethe habit or culture of buy buy buy, it's a bit of a surprise that I even find a repair shop, let alone one for shoes. A time capsule comedy club with quick repair. Unknowingly, I asked how long they have been open. The blue coat young man replied with a twinkle in his eyes, "Since 10 o'clock this morning." Ok, he has me: four generations in the running. A gent who's waiting for his sneakers chided, "and they make spaghetti on the side." LOL How long does it take to change my heel caps? "Two weeks," The blue coat said, and winked. "Oh", I said. "Two hours." He said. "Ok, I'll come back then." "Two minutes," he said. He inquired where we're from. When he heard Beijing, he blurted out fang pi and shagua, which mean 'break wind' and 'dumb kopf'. Chinese is easy to learn. Cash only. Thanks for extending the life of my beloved shoes.

I was given the name of the Hanger Clinic by my chiropractor because I needed a huge orthotic lift…read moreplaced on my shoe. I contacted the Hanger Clinic was told I needed a referral. I went and got one from my doctor and then set up an appointment with the Hanger Clinic to get an orthotic. At my appointment Paul, one of the orthotic doctors at Hanger Clinic, did some brief measurements to confirm what both my doctor and chiropractor had said. He talked to me about the process that I needed to go through in order to get the lift put on my shoe. This included buying a pair of nicely soled shoes (New Balance worked well) and bringing them to the Hanger Clinic. The shoes would then be sent out (no in house shoe changes here) and would come back in one to two weeks. At that point we would have a followup appointment to make sure the lift evened my body out and would eventually get rid of the back pain I was having. I went out and bought a pair of work shoes and a pair of running shoes and returned that same day so that Hanger Clinic could send them off right away. Paul gave me a discount because I brought in two pairs of shoes to be lifted. This was welcome because buying the shoes and then paying to put a lift on quickly added up, so the discount alleviated some of the financial strain. When the shoes arrived, I came in for a test run. Paul took measurements again to make sure that my body was even. He ran through what I could expect, physically, over the next few weeks as I changed the position of my body. Paul then suggested that I look around at some cobblers in town to see if any of them could put a similar lift on my later pairs of shoes at a cheaper rate. Again, looking out for me to see if he could save me some additional money. I can't argue with that. I have since brought in another shoe to be lifted by the Hanger Clinic and was given yet another discount. On top of that, the original shoes that I had lifted have worked and I have been back pain free for the last five months. Oh, and for those wondering, thanks to Paul's suggestion, I did find a local cobbler willing to do the lifts for about half the cost. I have yet to try him out but will be doing so when the Hanger Clinic shoes wear out.

I went online and found an Ortho shoe that seemed to meet my criteria. That online site led me to Gulf Soles so I emailed the owner. I was quite impressed with the prompt personalized reply from Micheal, the owner of Gulf Soles, but due to unexpected health issues it was 10 months before I could come to his store for a personalized fitting. Unfortunately, the shoe I had inquired about was not available. I could tell right off how much he cares about his customers. He apologized and explained about his ortho shoe line and well trained staff I don't recall her name, but the lady who helped me did an excellent job. We went to the foot machine and I was not only scanned but the report was emailed to me, entirely free. It confirmed my larger left foot, higher instep and wider toe box. The first shoe she pulled from the shelf was the exact style and color I had hoped for. The sole was flexible and it safely gripped the floor. She assessed how it fit and then determined the size I needed for that particular shoe. I walked around the store and, oh my, was it ever comfortable!!! For nearly an hour she helped my daughter and I with fitting various sandal styles, offering to reach out to the Venice store or ordering online if they didn't have our size on hand. I left the store wearing my new comfortable Ortho walking shoes and headed for the garden center. I got home 2 hours later after walking about quite a bit. The tieless sneaker style slipped of comfortably and when I stepped on the tile I missed the wonderful cushioned support of that shoe. I will be returning to Gulf Soles for all my future shoe purchases and bringing my husband. It am delighted to have discovered such knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful staff and to know I can buy well fitting shoes in Englewood, FL, just minutes from my home.
