Knowledgeable staff! Nearly miraculous shoe find…read more I've been looking for a comfortable pair of shoes for over a year (maybe more). I have specialty orthotics and struggled wearing the wrong shoes with them which meant they added little comfort and I had no clue why. I usually take hours shopping for shoes and can't find something satisfactory. Bev, working there, asked me if I needed help and I gave her the rundown with the expectation that she wouldn't be much assistance as has been the case in every other store. Instead, she blew me away by finding the perfect pair of shoes I needed. The second I tried them on my jaw dropped due to the comfort. She explained to me exactly why my current shoes didn't help (they weren't built for orthotics at all!) I was out of there in 20 minutes. Anyway I'm very happy. They train their staff well and ensure that they are familiar with the kinds of product they sell (she explained to me that's how she knew so much). A very worthy store of your dollars.

I spotted this Winners as I drove up Leslie Street this past Saturday. It made me want to visit it…read more I'm glad that I did. The town of Aurora has a Winners on Yonge Street. However, this Winners looked new to me. It's a part of a Winners-HomeSense superstore. I haven't visited Aurora as often as I used to that this store has been around since late 2022. I had no problem finding a parking spot on a busy Saturday afternoon. This store is located at Smartcentres Aurora North, on the south side of Aurora Road, west of highway 404. I parked further away and walked in. Purses greet you when you walk in. It took me a while to leave this area. There were purse-toque sets, puffy purses, a cute bowtie one that you could also use as a self-defense weapon, convertible handbag-to-laptop bag, and more. I like that this store had a lot of Brookstone items. I love this stateside brand. I saw everything from ankle socks (who knew?), to floating cloud lamps. I saw the cutest mini humidifiers. One was a steamed dumpling. I travel with one that does not have a cup. I had to buy this one. The nail section is strong. I liked everything. Polish. Stickers. Wraps. The prices were right and I felt like I had lived in this section. The footwear section made me happy. The selection of women's size 11 footwear was incredible. I could even get the shiniest puffy boots to blind folks when the sun hits them. Awesome! This store has a lot of novelty items, too. You can find boxers and socks with Hershey's, Doritos, and more branding them. I also saw a Care Bears phone holder. It was heavy, though. What did stand out was mood lighting. Besides the floating clouds, there were snails, cats, bears, koalas, and more. It was fascinating. I liked seeing a diner jukebox that was a radio. I remember going to Lime Rickey's at the Eaton Centre as an undergraduate student and enjoying playing tunes on the jukebox on the table. I bought a couple of items. Both Winners and HomeSense share the same checkout area. I had the nicest man there. He scanned by TJX Style+ card's barcode. I then paid with a credit card. It was easy tapping to pay. I thanked him and carried my items to my car. This Winners is cool, as it is the connected HomeSense. You don't need to exit one store to get to the other. It's seamless walking between the two, to the point where you can barely tell that you've crossed over in a good way. =) (423)

There's plenty of parking for both of these stores. I don't know if it's just me, but these stores look larger. In total, we spent almost an hour wandering around both stores, but we could've easily stayed much longer. It seems that there's always a long line to check out at any Winners, and that was the same case here. Thankfully, the line moved at a decent pace.

My old suede boots were very worn out and part of the sole of the boot came off. I looked up the…read morereviews of this place and took my boots there. They said the glue of the sole to the boot was really old and has expired and needs to be re-glued. I told them that they were given to me by my late mom and I am from out of town and I had to get them fixed. Normally it would take them a few days, but they were so kind that they expedited the repair and I was able to pick them up within a few hours. I am so impressed with Professional Shoe Repair. They are quick, and did an impeccable repair job. I highly recommend!

I noticed that this store doesn't have any bad reviews. I thought that was a reflection of the…read morequality of the store, but now I am thinking the owner just says that it's a fake review. Mine isn't a fake review, and I can provide photos, so before you visit, please read my review. I don't know, maybe my expectations were too high, or maybe my request was just too hard? I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but after wearing the results, I'm afraid I have to give this two stars. I have a pair of shoes that I've worn for two to three years straight, every single day. I love it, and bought it in Japan. Not very expensive, only around $40. Recently, it's been flaking more and more, as it's waterproof and I will sometimes walk over snow and rain. I wanted to wear it for a lot longer, so I looked for places for shoe repair. Maybe this is on me, but I just went with the first place that had a good review and was relatively close. The guy was nice about it as I explained, and at first he said it was impossible. I just wanted to replace the leather, and I said that if he could do it, even if it was expensive, I would pay. That was probably a mistake, but I've never gotten anything repaired before, so please excuse my ignorance. He was like, okay, what if we put real leather and change out the sides, so at least the cracked part will no longer be cracked? And we resole it and make it look like new? I explained that I didn't care what he did, as long as he kept the inside and that when I slipped on the shoe, it would be as comfortable as the first day I bought it. And so we finalized and I paid, and left to await the news to pick it up, which he said would be a week later. Let me preface this to say, I did not request a resoling, he was the one to bring it up. I only wanted to cracks replaced, and I thought, oh, if he's changing out the sides, then maybe he needs to resole? When I got back to my car, my dad asked me how it was. I told him I paid upfront, and it was $200. He told me it wasn't worth it, and that I could've bought four new shoes with that money. It was actually closer to $226, I guess with tax? But he didn't say that when I was paying, and I didn't pay attention to the price when paying, so I assumed it was a flat $200. Also, I paid upfront, but my dad told me that I shouldn't have, as he had the shoes, and I couldn't guarantee he would do a good job. In retrospect, that maybe should have clued me in to the product I was getting. But I also can't be sure that maybe that's how things are done in the shoe repair industry now? But I was pretty nervous and didn't think of these things. My dad also said that if I wanted to keep the comfort of the shoes, the guy wouldn't have said to resole it for me. As the soles were part of the comfort of the shoe, and the insides were not the only thing that was important. I tried to call him after I got home to tell him not to resole, but he told me that he had already started fixing the shoe. Okay, it was too late, but I figured, since he knows about shoes, maybe the sole wasn't as important to the comfort as my dad had said? And here's where we get to the crux of the matter. When I got the shoes, it looked... well, not that great. I was expecting better integration of the leather, and not this slapdash stitching. Maybe that's just my unrealistic expectations or that I'm an artist, fine. But the most important part, the comfort and pillowy feeling of the shoe when I put it on... it's gone. Now it's like stepping into tap dancing shoes, or those really cheap shoes you get at fast fashion stores. The sole feels flat, thin and cheap. I didn't ask for the resoling. I only asked for the cracks to be fixed. If he was only going to stick the leather on top of the shoe and stitch it, like it totally looks in the picture, why did he need to resole it? I can't guarantee that's what he did exactly, but it looks like that, and it kind of feels like that too. I guess he polished it too, but it's not noticeable because he didn't fix the other small cracks. As a shoe repairman, shouldn't you know that when a person wants to keep the comfort level of the shoe, that a sole replacement would change that? But no, he told me that the comfort level would stay the same. That's a lie. My dad told me straight off that the sole would change the feel of the shoe, and he's a layperson. I didn't know that, and now I'm paying for shoes that don't look that great, and the soles are making my feet hurt. Every time I wear these shoes now, I'm depressed, and I utterly regret getting these shoes repaired. This actually made me cry. These were my favourite pair of shoes, and I was hoping I could continue wearing them for two more years. Now that the comfort is gone, I don't know what was the point. I don't even feel like wearing them as it feels like I am stepping on flat floor instead of wearing shoes. I had such high hopes, but now I'm never getting any shoes repaired ever again.

What is really cool is the staff has been there for a long time and recognizes you when you go in. It is the perfect store for women 30+. Everything is colour coordinated, from the clothes to scarves to jewellery everything is presented boutique-style. They sell purses (guess) shoes, and a small area is dedicated to men's clothing. The store is located in a plaza on the east side of Yonge, so there is lots of parking. There is always specially priced clothes in racks outside the store. Trust me when I say you shouldn't pass it up. I have found many treasured pieces there. At the end of the season Cheryl the owner reduces her clothes by 50%. She sends out emails to her regular shoppers so you get first dibs on the sales. Staff are always friendly and you feel like you just want to go there and hang out. I highly recommend you check them out.
