I am not saying good things about this business because they are some small business with a personal touch. I am also a customer who consumed some of their products and services too, and I have compared them to the large corporation stores. Corporation products have a planned obsolescence built in so their products will break down after a certain amount of times usage. That way they keep customers returning to buy more product. They have no craftmanship, just a money churning machine and you are just another customer number.

I NOW have a pair of slippers (first time ever!) custom made sandals repaired after not being able to wear for 15 years, and an old pair of sneakers with a replaced heel. 3 visits, 3 perfect outcomes. Unfortunately, he is not in his 20's or 30's so I hope he stays in biz for as long as I need him...as I'm not young either! Quick, perfect and knows his craft well.

Today I dropped by with a pair of sneakers, one of which squeaks when the wearer walks. I spoke with a man who was working in the back, likely repairing shoes. I explained the problem and had researched causes and remedies, including talcum powder. The man spoke quickly, saying yes, talcum powder could work, drying out the insoles could work, and praying to God could work. OR nothing might work, meaning the squeak May remain. I've lived in this area for 4 years. People, in general, are friendly. This guy was indifferent at best, rude at worst.
