I can't say enough good things about Shoe Smith in Willimantic…read more I originally purchased a pair of HOKA Challenger 7s after they took the time to evaluate my feet with their scanning equipment and listened carefully to my orthopedic history, including a knee replacement and an ankle fusion. Their recommendation was spot on. I wore those shoes on a full day walking all over New York City, and they were the most comfortable walking shoes I've ever owned. I was completely pain-free. Unfortunately, the shoes developed a manufacturing defect after only a week. I brought them back expecting an exchange for the same model. Instead, they stood behind the product and upgraded me to a pair of HOKA Bondi 9s at no additional cost. That level of customer service is becoming increasingly rare. They treated me with kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern for making sure I left with a shoe that was right for me. If you're thinking about buying shoes, skip the big-box stores and support this local business. The personalized fitting, expert advice, and outstanding service are worth every penny. They've earned a customer for life.

I've always been very satisfied with their repairs. They carry excellent shoes for every need…read more They also have many sales for people like me who are on a limited income. They are the only shoe repair business in the state that I am aware of and it reminds me of the past when shoes were of the best quality and we always brought our shoes and other leather goods to be repaired, not cheap shoes thrown out and have to buy another pair of much less quality. I would recommend them to anyone and especially to those with special foot needs.

They carry…read morename brand feet for the big sewing machine brands (Janome, Brothers, Singer etc) and they have easily over a dozen machines setup to browse around on. Their prices seem to be very typical retail price (you can probably find a better deal online) but if you like the personal touch of demoing the machine and knowing you can get it serviced where you buy it, then this would be the place for you. They have sewing machines, sergers and embroidery machines and they do cleaning and repair of machines as well. I asked about the prices and while they vary from machine to machine (and repairs required) the prices weren't astronomical. They're open on weekends for a few hours in the afternoon (Closed Sundays in the summer I believe) so be sure to call first and check their hours.

The store sells and services sewing machines, sergers and embroidery machines. They stock embroidery designs, threads, stabilizers, needles, rolling totes, chairs and sewing cabinets. The walls are adorned with examples of finished projects done in classes or embroidery club. Take one of the classes that are offered to be truly impressed by the helpfulness and knowledge of the staff and owner. Chris offers a discount on purchases made at the time of class. I have gone to three embroidery club meetings and all the material was supplied, the design(s) and all precutting done for me. The cost averages out to $9.83 a class. (It varies depending on the supplies she has to buy.) There are at least two employees available during the whole session to help with questions/problems. We all have a fantastic time. I purchased a high-end sewing/embroidery machine from Chris and could not be more pleased with the price and her integrity. After sale support is phenomenal. Having purchased three other machines elsewhere I feel I can honestly say phenomenal and it's not hyperbole. Stop in; you won't be disappointed.
