Prices seemed ok. If its your way certainly do visit but if you aren't local, no reason to bother. 2.5/5, just because of the selection.

It's also very organized and clean, and I've always had very kind staff check me out every time. However... every time I've been in here recently, I've been extremely disappointed by the rise in prices. I know 'thrifting' has become a trend especially on social media, and VV seems to be riding the wave by doubling, even tripling their pricing! VV seems to be crazy inflated on tommy hilfiger, zara (nobody is paying $15+ for USED Zara btw) and brands they think are still popular. I saw a lululemon bra new with tags, and the sale tag said $34.99 and VV was selling it for $35.... also you can go to the shoe section and see ratty used ritz carlton slippers (that are free with a stay...) are selling for $10 - LOL For a place that receives all of their items FOR FREE, the prices do not make sense at all. Go to an independent thrift store or a smaller chain, and you'll find way better prices. With inflation in Ontario the way it is, people who actually depend on thrift stores to survive simply cannot afford to. When it is cheaper to shop at places like urban planet/shein, fast fashion will always prevail because why would someone choose to buy used clothing for MORE than a new piece (whether it be sustainable or not).. also for these prices, the free donated pieces will not end up selling and as more pieces come in, where do you think those overpriced pieces will go to? Exactly the place where we were trying to avoid by donating in the first place.

My old suede boots were very worn out and part of the sole of the boot came off. I looked up the…read morereviews of this place and took my boots there. They said the glue of the sole to the boot was really old and has expired and needs to be re-glued. I told them that they were given to me by my late mom and I am from out of town and I had to get them fixed. Normally it would take them a few days, but they were so kind that they expedited the repair and I was able to pick them up within a few hours. I am so impressed with Professional Shoe Repair. They are quick, and did an impeccable repair job. I highly recommend!

I noticed that this store doesn't have any bad reviews. I thought that was a reflection of the…read morequality of the store, but now I am thinking the owner just says that it's a fake review. Mine isn't a fake review, and I can provide photos, so before you visit, please read my review. I don't know, maybe my expectations were too high, or maybe my request was just too hard? I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but after wearing the results, I'm afraid I have to give this two stars. I have a pair of shoes that I've worn for two to three years straight, every single day. I love it, and bought it in Japan. Not very expensive, only around $40. Recently, it's been flaking more and more, as it's waterproof and I will sometimes walk over snow and rain. I wanted to wear it for a lot longer, so I looked for places for shoe repair. Maybe this is on me, but I just went with the first place that had a good review and was relatively close. The guy was nice about it as I explained, and at first he said it was impossible. I just wanted to replace the leather, and I said that if he could do it, even if it was expensive, I would pay. That was probably a mistake, but I've never gotten anything repaired before, so please excuse my ignorance. He was like, okay, what if we put real leather and change out the sides, so at least the cracked part will no longer be cracked? And we resole it and make it look like new? I explained that I didn't care what he did, as long as he kept the inside and that when I slipped on the shoe, it would be as comfortable as the first day I bought it. And so we finalized and I paid, and left to await the news to pick it up, which he said would be a week later. Let me preface this to say, I did not request a resoling, he was the one to bring it up. I only wanted to cracks replaced, and I thought, oh, if he's changing out the sides, then maybe he needs to resole? When I got back to my car, my dad asked me how it was. I told him I paid upfront, and it was $200. He told me it wasn't worth it, and that I could've bought four new shoes with that money. It was actually closer to $226, I guess with tax? But he didn't say that when I was paying, and I didn't pay attention to the price when paying, so I assumed it was a flat $200. Also, I paid upfront, but my dad told me that I shouldn't have, as he had the shoes, and I couldn't guarantee he would do a good job. In retrospect, that maybe should have clued me in to the product I was getting. But I also can't be sure that maybe that's how things are done in the shoe repair industry now? But I was pretty nervous and didn't think of these things. My dad also said that if I wanted to keep the comfort of the shoes, the guy wouldn't have said to resole it for me. As the soles were part of the comfort of the shoe, and the insides were not the only thing that was important. I tried to call him after I got home to tell him not to resole, but he told me that he had already started fixing the shoe. Okay, it was too late, but I figured, since he knows about shoes, maybe the sole wasn't as important to the comfort as my dad had said? And here's where we get to the crux of the matter. When I got the shoes, it looked... well, not that great. I was expecting better integration of the leather, and not this slapdash stitching. Maybe that's just my unrealistic expectations or that I'm an artist, fine. But the most important part, the comfort and pillowy feeling of the shoe when I put it on... it's gone. Now it's like stepping into tap dancing shoes, or those really cheap shoes you get at fast fashion stores. The sole feels flat, thin and cheap. I didn't ask for the resoling. I only asked for the cracks to be fixed. If he was only going to stick the leather on top of the shoe and stitch it, like it totally looks in the picture, why did he need to resole it? I can't guarantee that's what he did exactly, but it looks like that, and it kind of feels like that too. I guess he polished it too, but it's not noticeable because he didn't fix the other small cracks. As a shoe repairman, shouldn't you know that when a person wants to keep the comfort level of the shoe, that a sole replacement would change that? But no, he told me that the comfort level would stay the same. That's a lie. My dad told me straight off that the sole would change the feel of the shoe, and he's a layperson. I didn't know that, and now I'm paying for shoes that don't look that great, and the soles are making my feet hurt. Every time I wear these shoes now, I'm depressed, and I utterly regret getting these shoes repaired. This actually made me cry. These were my favourite pair of shoes, and I was hoping I could continue wearing them for two more years. Now that the comfort is gone, I don't know what was the point. I don't even feel like wearing them as it feels like I am stepping on flat floor instead of wearing shoes. I had such high hopes, but now I'm never getting any shoes repaired ever again.

To be honest, I barely shop here anymore since most of their items are medicore quality at best and they end up at the thrift store for $5 after the season is over. I don't blame the employees at all, I know Aritzia has a terrible comission structure (even though now the employees don't even receive a commission, they just need to ensure a # of sales to get a yearly or quarterly bonus I believe ... cheap asses). Aritzia makes their staff hard sell to every single person that walks in here, because if they don't hit their numbers, they'll either be let go or put on probation. I am in here for less than 5 minutes and 3 girls beelined towards me to ask if I need help with anything, why I'm in here (ummmm...to shop?) and if I need help finding sizes. Mind you, every time I've asked if they had a certain size in stock, I'm always met with "whatever we have, it's on the floor" ... ok, so I can just as well find my own size. Also the shorts and leggings ALWAYS only have XXS and XS in stock at this location with maybe one large left - the XS is so tiny, when you hold it up, it looks like it's for a child (which it probably is). I can never find a medium or a small in stock - might as well shop online anyway. Last time I was here, I had a few clothing items I was evaluating getting and a sales associate ran up to me, told me she'd put my stuff at the front and told me her name before grabbing them out of my hands and rushing off... it happened to my sister too, which left her so flustered, she ended up letting the girl take her clothes to the front register and she just left the store. Do you also notice there are tiktoks where people make fun of aritzia, because every time you come out trying something on, the girls rush up and gush about how amazing it looks on you. Girl, I know you lyin'. Also - communal mirrors in a dressing room? Yikes... Also - FYI to everyone: Aritzia is majorly fast fashion. Just because the prices are high and aesthetic is different, it makes you think that it's not but the reality is that it's rated at a lower sustainability scale than h&m. You're paying 4x the price for an aliexpress dropshipped dress with a babaton label fyi. (Google Aritzia's sustability, or Aritzia fast fashion... I dare you)
