The problem is the old timer who owns and runs the joint, he's a jackass on another level. I don't care how knowledgeable you are, if you are such an ass with an even worse tone of voice and condescending as all hell people won't want to do business with you. Tried to tell me that though I was diagnosed with flat feet when I was born that it's my boots that are the problem and caused me to have flat feet. Also irked me that the old timer dang near hit me in the face with his cigarette when he came out to assist. I was calm and polite even with him cursing and being an ass and telling me I'm full of shit and have no idea what I'm talking about with a diagnosis I've had my entire life. When the old timer finally hangs up his tools I'd definitely be willing to give it another shot with the young kid or if the old timer is willing to apologize for being an ass and conduct business like an adult.

When I told him I did not want to try on a different size, he started screaming, and cursing me out! saying "you screwed me"! And it just got worse from there. Even with a store full of customers, he continued yelling and cursing. Prior to me buying the pair I was returning, I had asked him to reline the back of the heel of my less than six months old, $250 work shoes. The way he "repaired" them, caused my heel to slip horribly at work the next day. (he glued in a piece of leather, without bothering to fix the padding on the top inside of the heel that keeps your heel from moving up and down) Because I walk anywhere from 10 to 15 miles on concrete per day, I developed horrible blisters. When I took them back in, he got rather obstinate, complaining that I really need to get a new pair of shoes instead of trying to fix these (again... They were less than six months old Red Wings!). His second "repair" was actually a peel and stick pad for the underside of a shoe's tongue. While this worked SLIGHTLY better, it still had problems. By now I could barely walk at work.

I needed a full size bigger and. 4 E width. You know, I've been in Shoemaker's a few times over the years and on more than one occasion I heard him berate or get nasty with another customer. I honestly thought at the time that it was him joking with customers that he knew. Turns out he's just a cranky old man.

He Talked over me every time I tried to talk, not letting me complete one sentence. The best way I can put it is the definition of condescending in its truest form: Behavior or language showing a patronizing, superior attitude, where someone acts as if they are better, more intelligent, or more important than others.

Full disclosure - I grew up around the corner from Michael Press. But while we've known each other…read morefor decades, that only matters because its the reason I went to Mike for an engagement ring in the first place. However, it does not, for a moment, affect this review. Sometime a while back, I knew I was going to propose to my lovely fiance (spoilers! she said yes), and started shopping for a ring. Researched the important factors and started looking around, and while i found a lot of nice rings, nothing that really called to me. It was a frustrating process, culminating in buying what I thought would be the perfect ring online, only to return it. That was probably the lowest moment, and so I took a break in my ring shopping. Fast forward some months later, and I saw someone else from my hometown post photos on social media of a beautiful designer engagement ring from Mike Press, and so I reached out to Mike. I had no idea what I wanted, even after all that shopping, and couldn't have been more nervous. I didn't want to design a custom ring, because I have the imagination of a piece of wood, so I relied on Mike to ask the right questions and pick out a number of options. He was patient, detailed in his explanations of various rings and options, and came up with a number of beautiful suggestions. Nevertheless, I still could not make a decision. I was scared of completely screwing this up. I asked a million questions, then disappeared for weeks while I thought about it, only to come back and ask more questions. Mike never brushed me off or decided I wasn't going to be a sale - he just kept helping me along. In the end, not only did Mike find a beautiful diamond but he held it for me in spite of having other interested parties. Sent me photos, videos, descriptions, etc until I was finally able to pull the trigger. With the perfect diamond, he then suggested what ended up being the perfect setting to go with it. I was so trilled with what he put together that I wasn't even worried about whether or not Melissa would like it. Again, it was perfect. I wish I could find more good things to say. This was an incredibly stressful and nerve wracking process but Mike made it easy in the end. I was glad to give the business to someone I've known my whole life, but even still, was not expecting the kindness, patience, and helpfulness to the degree Mike provided. He bent over backwards to make this easy.
