I saw the bad review & felt compelled to write a positive one as my experience was so different. I…read morewas looking for a very comfortable walking shoe. After examining my feet the woman steered me toward a pair of Akaisha shoes. I had never worn this brand so I kept looking at other shoes that had just come in. She assured me that for my feet these would be perfect. They were 40% off - I had not come in expecting any sale & she was convincing so I bought them. These shoes are the best I have worn in my entire life! I went on a trip to Paris 2 weeks later & wore them 12 hours a day sightseeing. My husband got blisters - my feet felt great at the end of the day. I was impressed because she could have easily sold me a much more expensive pair of shoes that I loved for the style. But she didn't - I love these shoes so much that when I could not get a 2nd pair I ordered an identical pair from the US with the help of the Akaisha US Rep.

Staff is knowledgeable and show initiative in getting the "right fit." They bring "old world"…read moreexpertise, which is rarely seen in our little Maritime city. They have assisted me in having my older Finn Comfort shoes and boots repaired. I have spent huge amounts of money on custom orthotic insoles with special brand orthotic shoes and the benefit has been marginal. Most of these so-called "orthotic" shoes cannot be repaired or rebuilt. Properly manufactured leather shoes with firm insoles yield nearly instant relief from ankle and arch pain--pain typically caused by flat feet (excessive pronating) and obesity. Pronating may be alleviated by light boots with ankle support--the benefit of the German brands is the all leather construction that conforms to your foot over time. In the end it is the responsibility of the buyer to communicate what they want and how a product feels.

At the end of March I noticed one of my Ugg boots had ripped along the back seam. I bought them…read moreabout 3 years ago and no longer had the receipt. Sad day! I called The Shoe Company/Town Shoes to ask if they did repairs. The girl I spoke with asked me to bring in the boot and the manager could have a look. When I brought it in, the manager "T" told me he could tell the boots were well taken care of and while he couldn't have it repaired, he could call head office to see if it could be replaced. I was totally wowed! He promised to call me back in a couple days with the verdict. A few weeks passed with no return phone call :-( I finally called back and "T" told me the boot could not be replaced but asked me to drop back in and he'd give me a $150 credit which I thought was more than fair and drove there immediately. When I asked for him in the store, he asked me for the other boot. When I questioned him (as I had no reason to bring it with me when I was simply picking up my credit), he told me he had to send the boots back in order to give me the credit. "What?? I give my boots away and get $150 back? The boots cost double that and look brand new!" He told me he'd give head office another call to see if anything else could be done. Again, weeks went by. I called the store back and was connected with a second store manager, also named "T". This "T" was shocked at how long the boot saga was taking and promised to look into it and committed to calling me back in a day or two. Do you think she called me back? Nope! More weeks went by and again I was forced to call them back. "T" told me she was going to call the company they deal with which does shoe repairs to see if it could simply be fixed and, you got it, would call me back in a couple days. After all these months, finally! I was getting what I wanted done in the first place! Well, guess what? Weeks passed and sadly, "T" did not call back as promised :-( Finally, I call them back and I'll admit it, I was a little pissy when I was patched through to manager #3: Danny (yes, I spelled out his name -- you'll see why in a minute). He put up with my rude tone and promised to find out what was going on with The Boot and promised to call me back in a day or two. He called back! Yay! He told me my boot had been repaired and when I came to pick it up, I was to ask for him as he would not let me leave the store unhappy. Well, I picked up my boot this afternoon and it looks good as new. I asked for Danny and not only did he profusedly apologize for the length of time it took to fix it, he gave me a %50 off coupon for any item in the store. Danny: you are fantastic! In my mind, you alone saved my impression of The Shoe Company and its lacking of good customer service.

Purchased a pair of Sandals that were discounted but then supposed to have another 20% off on top…read moreof the discount and the cashier wouldn't do it. Went in next day and an older cashier gave the 20% off but wss a bit insulting with a comment. Staff is definitely unfriendly in the Dartmouth store. Won't be returning there again. Selection and value were okay but service is seriously lacking.

I splurged on my birthday and bought myself a pair of Sperry's…read more This store had the best selection of that brand and the colour I wanted. The lady who helped me was warm and genuine, helpful but much too busy. The place clearly needs another person on the floor helping customers. The store itself was a little confusing in it's display of shoes and products, it's a bit too small for all the stock the have. They have a good selection of women's shoes but not as good as the men's selection. I like men's shoes in certain styles (like deck shoes and skate shoes) but I need a size six. It's okay for women to wear men's shoes and I think SoftMoc should embrace this and bring in smaller men's sizes. In summation; my experience at SoftMoc was a positive one and I walked out if there happy :)

This store does not deserve one star rating at all. I bought a Sketchers anti slip shoes on 23…read moreAugust 2023, and after a month it has an issue with internal sole. I talked with the manager and he told me to contact with the Sketchers helpline number. Even contact with this helpline number, both refused to solve my issue because of not manufacture defect. After few months, I have a problem with external sole; a detachment of sole from the shoes in right leg shoe. I again complain them regarding this issue and they told me visit later because of unavailability of store manager. I have been there for 3 times and after talking with manager, he told me that you bought your shoes on 23 August 2023 and today is September 01, 2024 its been one year and 1 week, we are unable to change the shoes because of out of manufacturer warranty. I talked with the Sketchers helpline number and spent my valuable time with them. The company itself refused to change the pair of Shoes because of 1 week more than warranty period. I think this is more time than warranty period, though it is only one week more. This is the service what we expect from the company and soft moc store itself.

OMG now I know how Carrie Bradshaw feels in Sex in the City. Shoes, shoes and more shoes. And the…read moredangerous part is that there is a 50% off sale, shhh please don't tell anyone until I get back down. I went two years ago and walked out with three pairs yikes. But yes I do love them and I still keep them in the box after I wear them. Now it is true what they say is that you get what you paid for and when these sales like this happens you can actually afford these shoes and they will last. My black patten wedges which is now going on their third summer look like new. John David shoes has been around for sometime and specializes in high quality high fashions shoes. From flats to those stilettos that will make any ones head turn to Gladiators. Funny I was with my BFF yesterday and we were looking through the window like I kid at Disneyland would saying I want those and those. We are going back today look out.

So, I know realize that most of the shoes in here are supposed to be designer and therefore…read moredesirable, but I didn't see anything that really stuck my fancy... and I'm quite a shoe fanatic. Most of the boots seemed to have a lot of the crocodile skin look in flashy colours. And other than boots, it was mostly strappy, open-toed heals, some of which still had the croc skin look. Not that I have anything against that look, some people can really pull it off. But it's not for me. The shoe pricing was still pretty expensive, even though there was a %50 off sale. I couldn't imagine seeing the actually cost of those shoes. I'm probably just jealous that I can't afford them though. I guess a lot of people can because the store was pretty full of women. In fact, there wasn't an open seat to try anything on because there were so many people in there. There was one really nice salesguy that I encountered. I was looking at some flats and he came over and told me that most of them had a built-in gel cushions or insoles. He took a moment to show me what he meant, then smiled and walked to someone else. I loved that he didn't stick around by my side and shop with me, much like some other salespeople might. It was just a nice experience that I thought I'd share with you.

This is the ONLY place I take my stuff! BEST place in the province!…read moreI do a number of Cosplay Projects throughout the year that have me frequently requesting specialized adjustments to a wide variety of outfits featuring lots of different materials... I first brought one of my projects to Dimitri a few years ago and I've never looked back: With at least a dozen big and little jobs for me to his credit, Dimitri has always provided me with Top Notch service! I regularly refer my friends to him and I'd NEVER go to another Tailor! HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS!

I had 4 pairs of pants hemmed and a new button put on a pair of jeans that had fallen off, and it…read morewas all done for under $50. The man working was very professional and I was able to try on my pants in a little changing room so he could pin the correct length. The quality of the work done was great. The only reason I'm only giving 4 stars out of 5 is that I was told my pants would be finished two days later by 11am (I said I could pick them up in two days before noon, or I could get them the following week as there was no rush). I arrived to pick them up at 11:35am while on my way to work, and I ended up having to wait 5 minutes while he finished one of my pants in front of me. It wasn't a big deal, but if I I had come at 11am when he said they would be done then I would have waited 40 minutes or I would have had to come back to get my pants on another day. I would recommend this tailor, but I would suggest giving them more time to finish your items, even if they sound confident that they will have it done in a couple of days.
