I have had an excellent experience several times with Mario. I had some issues with my feet/shoes. Thought I might need surgery. Went to foot specialists that had all kinds of over the top treatments. I was discouraged. Then I went to Mario. He he had me up and "running" in no time. Back to hiking, walking and all things good. Almost like a miracle. I go to his store every time we visit Grand Junction. Tom J read more

Very sad to say Mario over charges for his shoes by hundreds of dollars we found the same pair of shoes online for $200 less. I will never go back to this store. Beware ! read more

My husband and I were in his store from out of town over 3 months ago. My husband, who has struggled with finding shoes to fit his feet all of his life was given a load of BS by this vendor, pretending to care about his problem and suggesting that he was just the guy to help. After taking our money over two months ago, (and telling us we would receive the shoes within 6 weeks) we have left several polite messages asking for an update status - no response - EVER. 11 weeks after our check was cashed, we have no reason to assume anything other than that we have been stolen from. read more

I have had very good service unlike the other reviewers. It is clearly a one man shop so I can understand feeling ignored as he helped someone else. But I like that he does not try to serve everyone and not pay attention to anyone. I have the luxury of coming back, hoping he will be available. I have bought two sets of shoes, both were fitted wonderfully. one pair of running shoes and other was hiking boots. Never have been so comfortable sets of shoes. I plan to get all my shoes there from now on. The price is not "a steal" but one pair were a few dollars less than the same shoe at a local sports store. Other I did not find exact match but did not seem out of line. I looked up the shoes up, out of curiosity, and he even beat some internet prices. read more

Very rude and condescending when I called. I asked if they had heel lifts and was immediately told that I didn't know what I was talking about. I had been to a Podiatrist and that is what he recommended that I find. I wanted to support a local business but I certainly will never call this business again! read more

Mario is the owner and is very knowledgable on how shoes are manufactured and how their fit impacts your body's health. The cozy corner store features a nice variety of shoes for both men and women from reputable brands. I was fitted with a Propét shoe in late 2015 that has been absolutely wonderful. My feet feel better wearing them than when I take them off! About a year later and my feet are still doing great. No more lower back pain from improperly fitted or poorly designed shoes. While more expensive than the Walmart shoes I used to buy (isn't everything, though?), I'm on my feet for many hours a day, and the support these incredible shoes have given me has been a God-send, to say the least! Thanks, Mario! read more

They charged me an extra $50 above and beyond the price of a pair of Saucony Hurricane running shoes they recommended to help with my foot pain. They said it was for any adjustments I would need in the shoe, but I never needed any so basically they got an extra $50 out of me for nothing. I started buying the shoes on the Internet instead. Believe it or not I went back recently to try and buy a pair of Z-Coil shoes from them, but the only salesman in the store was helping someone else -- and helping and helping and helping them -- but after waiting 20-25 minutes for service no one ever helped me so I left. Those Z-coils cost around $200, so they lost a pretty big sale. I'm really done with the place. I won't shop there any more. read more

This merchant is a very poor businessman. I purchased a pair of shoes, "fit to my feet". They were actually quite comfortable until on the third day of wear they started to separate from from the soles. I returned them to be told I had to accept replacement shoes. With the defect my 1st shoes had, I did not want to repeat the experience. The merchant has on the receipt refunds only within 30 days of purchase. restocking fee $35. Merchant would not give a full refund on these defective shoes. Wanted his $35 to "restock" a pair of shoes that would go back to his supplier and which he would get all his money back. His business card states, "Rejoice, God's loving peace and prosperity are here!" Yeah, HIS prosperity not ours, his customers. Avoid this store. Go to Brown's in Grand Junction for a good shoe purchase experience. read more

The worst customer service ever! I was told to I could get custom orthotics, bring all my shoes. I drove 4 hours (rt) in a cast to get help.When I got there, Mario told me I did not need orthotics. I informed him I have a prescription and he told me" Do you always do what Doctors tell you?". He wanted me to get custom shoes and does not make orthotics? He said he could not explain that over the phone. Then proceeded to tell me " Doctors dont like me cause I fix problems???!!!" He became rude and claimed I did not want to help myself??? I walked out. I hate to be negative, but this was not right. Everyone needs to see this: DO NOT GO THERE! read more

My husband can only wear Z-Coils because of a car crash that crushed his foot. Shoe Design has been the best customer service people ever. They fixed his shoes and now he can walk without pain. Thanks Shoe Design!!! K&J Brown read more
