Nice store, convenient drive-up location in a rather new small strip mall. There were 3 employees…read morewhen I arrived. One was finishing her shift and leaving, so I was assisted rather quickly by an employee who was knowledgeable about the product. As I was purchasing for a farm manager and not myself, there was no opportunity for a proper fitting. However, the employee was very adept in trying to rush me through the purchase process. I like to assess value, not only fit and appropriateness to the application. I selected a pair of shoes which happened to be discounted. Immediately the shoes were brought to the register and I asked for a few more moments to assess a second purchase, at which point the register had to be cleared. I really felt as though I was being "rushed." I selected the second pair of work boots, which were brought to the counter and immediately scanned. I asked the store clerk if a "GATE" tax exempt card was acceptable as the shoes were farm work boots. I was told NO, but I insisted saying I had the appropriate credentials, which were eventually accepted. The order was processed and as both pairs of boots were discounted, the first pair by $51.00, the second pair by $21.00 & the tax exempt GATE deduction of $23.00, I quickly noticed, though I asked for the deduction on the first pair of shoes, it had not been applied. The order had to be reprocessed to reflect the $51 discount, then reprocessed once again to deduct the second discount and finally, I had to request the tax discount. Bottom line, Aaron E., my cashier had no intention whatsoever of following through with the agreed displayed discounts or the tax exempt request. Bottomline, check your processing receipt or expect to pay full price. Dishonest merchant, definitely. Would I return to this store? Absolutely not.

On 11/16/17 I brought a pair of boots to W & J Discount Shoe Repair to be resoled. I asked for a…read moreVibram soles and was shown a catalog and selected specific soles to be used and was told they had to be ordered. I was also told that I had to pay up front for the repair. I asked if they'd be ready for Thanksgiving or soon after and was told it could take a bit, but no date could be given. I came back two weeks later and the shoes hadn't been worked on. I was told that it takes a while to take off the original soles. I came back two weeks after that and the shoes were still in the same place, unfinished. The third time I came to check on the repair, they couldn't tell me when they'd be finished and yelled at me when I asked when the boots would be finished. Since they hadn't started on them, I asked for my boots back and was told that I should take them and that I wouldn't be getting my money back so I told them then that they needed to finish the job. The two shopkeepers yelled at each other about promising a date that the repair would be ready, which got really heated. After this I left the shop. On 1/4/18 I finally received a call that my boots were ready to pick up. They did a very sloppy job putting the new soles on. Contact cement was everywhere--they had to sand it off and the stitching they did on the welt which was already coming apart. Also, they repaired the shoe with a completely different and less expensive sole than what I ordered. I ordered a specific sole made by Vibram. When I said I wasn't satisfied with the work, I was screamed at, told I was ignorant, would not get a refund, should leave the shop, and that I was never welcome back. When I returned to my office, I tried on the boots. The shoes felt like I was walking on marbles. They are extremely lumpy and not wearable. All in all, not a great experience.
