BACKGROUND My matching leather were showing wear - the…read moreburgundy color had faded in the high traffic areas and it was time to refinish them or purchase new ones. A shop out of Springfield IL was recommended to us. That company turned our burgundy sofas purple! (Barney the dinosaur purple - and I'm not exaggerating.) That company would not make it right! They wanted MORE money to complete the job they were hired to do in the first place. OUR EXPERIENCE We turned to SHOE BIZ, and wow what a difference! Shoe Biz was nice, professional, friendly, thorough, did VERY HIGH QUALITY work and was willing to stand behind their work!! When they saw the state of our sofas they assured me they could fix them - and they did! Our sofas haven't looked like this in YEARS - they look brand new!! - NO KIDDING! We will ALWAYS to go SHOE BIZ in the future!!!! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!!! They matched original color, they were kind and professional, the sofas even have a shine like they had when we first got them.

Got my Iron Rangers resoled at Fred's. Stitching is crooked on the right boot. Response from Fred's…read morewas the stitching will be strong and not impact durability. OK, but not thrilled since it looks bad. I do't wear these boots too often since I have several pairs. i just noticed they also scraped the leather with the stitcher on the same boot. The leather is actually a little thinner now in this spot. The scrape runs parallel to the welt in an area where normal wear would not cause the scrape. In addition, the scrape shows up in a picture I took immediately after the resole. It appears they covered up the scrape with brown polish or another shoe product. They did not mention any of the issues when the boots were picked up by a family member that lives near Peoria. Do not recommend, and I will not use them again.

They only said to return the incorrect ones, and they would re-do them at no charge to me. How kind of them to correct THEIR error at no cost to me. They didn't offer to sell me the incorrect ones at a discounted price until I asked. They offered 25% off of shirts that are of no use to anyone else. The complete level if disinterest from them is what really bothers me. I specifically went to them to support a local business. My group had been getting our merchandise online. This has really come back to bite me.
