Paid $130 for a rain jacket. Thought it was a little steep but it felt like good quality. Found the EXACT same jacket on Amazon for $40. Exact same brand literally the EXACT jacket. Not on sale or anything for $40. This guy buys garbage from Amazon and triples the price. I cannot imagine the nerve of this guy to sell crap like this for triple. read more

I'm doing everyone a solid, please don't ever come here. Save your time, money, and patience. It's not worth your troubles. Long story short, I went to buy a vest on December and they didn't have my size so the guy ordered it and I payed 80 on the spot. He gave me an eta of week and half, and guess what??? It was excuse after excuse till this day. 5 months later of itll be here next week I finally went and got my money back. He didn't have enough in his drawer to pay me back my 80 so he gave me 40 and a shirt that I didn't need. The only thing good I will say is that he didn't give me any attitude or argue with me about it. read more

fadel is very unpleasant to deal with. Very angry man. Uses foul language's. I bought shoes and trousers from there. Had very bad experience when i went to exchange them. He was using f words and cussing for no reason. he always tried to sell me items that I don't want. Very bad buisness man. read more

No stars....the owner Fadel assured us he was giving us a good deal plus a discount. We found the same boot at another store for $50 less. He is VERY pushy. Also told my boyfriend that the jacket he had on was no good and he should buy one of his for $200 NO THANKS!! After reading the reviews even though they are not too recent, makes me wish I'd read them before we ever walked in the place. For sure never going back. read more

The Works - $50 cheaper then what he sold them to us for. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Stockton, California

Nice selection of stock. I went to buy a pair of suspenders. They had what I wanted but the owner was pushy and insisted I buy two pair. That I did not. When I got home I noticed he had overcharged me ten dollars over the marked price. I went back the next day and he was very rude in a loud voice saying he never wanted to do business with me again and if I came in the store he would throw me out. Don't even go near there. read more

NO STARS. Just like the other reviews go, the owner is a con man! He has no responsibility, accountability or integrity. I've been coming here for years and it seems like every time he is being incredibly rude to his customers and poking his customers chest as seen in this video. My father bought a pair of boots that were cutting into his foot and they just didn't work out after 4 hours of wearing them. He took them back and asked if he can get them custom to his foot. The owner agreed and sent the boots off to the manufacturer. After getting the run around for THREE MONTHS the owner said he would have the boots in two days and when my father went in the owner admitted to selling his custom boots to another customer even after being paid for said boots. We had to fight for 2-3 weeks just to get our refund back for the custom boots we had paid for. Our family and friends will no longer be conducting our business with this criminal. 0 stars! read more

This was my favorite store when the son was running it. Unfortunately, the father has now FIRED THE SON, and removed all the customer service with him. Monday after work I walked into his store to show him the boots I bought 4 months prior. The seem had busted and there was a tear next to the busted seam. He also yelled at me and accused me of cutting my work boot and that it was my fault the boot ripped. He also said that the boots fell apart because I didn't take care of them. Which was a lie in itself, anyone that knows me knows I take care of my stuff. Also this is unfortunate because I really like these boots. But now I have to go somewhere else to get boots. read more

He was really rude saying I was wasting his time by looking don't recommend going there hope they close down .

This place sucks..! Don't waste your money. tell me they will sew some pants I bought a year ago, after they sewed them once, said they'll fix anything no problem.. so I brought them back after I cleaned them, gave them 20$ to do the sewing. Come back 3 days in a row, not done still. Then I give them 3 more days, come up pick them up.... not done. Owner POS tells me I'm the problem, I complain to much... fuck you. If you can't do your job then don't waste my time. I asked you to do a job and paid for the work to be done first read more

I will always go to the works to get anything needed for work fadel has great customer service and he is a man of his word I couldn't be happier with the things I've bought there and will always come back thank you again fadel read more

The owner tried selling me a pair of boots a size smaller and told me that they would fit if I took out the soles and they would stretch, after a day of having my toes shoved into the toe box and being in pain I brought them back. He exchanged them for a pair I didn't want and they also didn't have any soles. He proceeded to dig in the back for mismatched soles and I gave up and left. Later I discovered the boots had a huge tear on the inside that had been repaired before I bought them. This guy is a joke and very pushy. He cursed at a guy while I was there for trying on shorts. read more

The Works - Leather patch inside boot on left. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Stockton, California

My father bought a pair of shoes and a pair of boots for $523.15 A YEAR AGO. Every time my dad would go into the shop the owner Fidel would make excuses of why the shoes are not in yet. Then when he would say they're in and my dad would go and try them on and they would not be the right size or even come close to fitting then he would promise again to send them back and get them specially maid to fit my dads foot...A YEAR LATER......and a lot of lies later.... I went into the store to check on my dad's orders. Fidel was extremely aggressive and rude. He would say I was yelling when really he was the one yelling. He would accuse my dad of not calling him and lying when he was the one doing all the lying. The next day I brought my dad in and he tried this so-called shoes that my dad ordered on and of course they were the same shoes he tried on a long time ago and with the wrong size wrong shoe and then made another promise to send them back and have them altered special again and be back in two weeks or he would give my dad's money back...(note: we have this all on voice record). Now a month later I go back to the store to check on the shoes and he's got the same exact shoes and boots he had in the beginning so of course they don't fit. I said my father just wants his money back since you're not able to get the right size boot and shoe like he PROMISED and he went crazy telling me he's not giving my dad his money back and cussing at me and telling me to get out of the store he's going to call the Police......I welcomed him to call the police because he STOLE $523.15 from my dad. And of course he didn't call the police. But I should have! I Went home and started filing complaints with BBB and FTC and now Yelp. I'm hoping to get a hold of some of the people that reviewed him and his store so he stops getting away with steeling from people! read more

We went into this Work Clothes type store looking for a safety vest for my grandson. Gentleman who waited on us put us right on to what we were after and the price was right. Locally owned and multi-generational business. Good place to add to your list when your looking for work related clothing and boots. read more

I am still coming back to purchase boots and other gear for our business here. I've never had a problem and have come to know the owner. It's nice to support local business and build that long term relationship. read more

DO NOT SHOP HERE!! Literally walked in for the first time today and was looking for a black Ben Davis work shirt. The one I wasn't looking for wasn't there but he insisted on me trying on a bunch of other ones. I enter the fitting room and he still proceeds to hand me more. Of course I try on 1 or 2 but it was excessive about the amount I was handed. I come out the fitting room and tell him I really needed the black one and would wait another week if I had to. He starts cussing me out in front of another client and kicks me out the store for "wasting his time". Never coming back again, prices are overpriced compared to other spots and customer service is terrible. read more

I like what stores has to offer great price and has the small town feeling! They seem honest and sincere will go back for more work apparel.

The only place I like to get my work wear at! The gentlemen that own and operate this store are really knowledgeable with the products they sell and take the time to help you. There's not a time that I go to this store and leave disappointed. Also its family owned and operated which I support tremendously. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!!! I will never come here again. I came to get some wranglers for my boyfriend and me believing the guy because he said they're the only one in town that sells wranglers ... when I should've looked around. I bought these wranglers for a Christmas gift. 1 out of the 3 fitted perfectly. So I went to the after Christmas to basically change the pants for the original fit wranglers the 2 out of 3 was Slim fit it was too tight for my boyfriend. I went to the store the older man tells me ohh they don't have some rn but he wants my boyfriend to come try on some different ones and that they received their "shipment" haven't opened it yet because the lady will open the boxes at 3. Came back later they didn't have it. Sammy said he'll order some and it'll be here by next week. He ordered the jeans in front of us asked for our number and name. Never called so I called to check on it. And he said okay for sure on Monday at 10:30 am. Waited a few days after Monday came by never received a call. I call after 2 weeks asking for the jeans and Sammy wants to say you don't have to be rude it's just jeans you should introduce yourself I don't recall. You don't recall hmmmm okay. So now he says the jeans will be here tmrrw AND OF COURSE we waste our time going in he said it'll be here in 5 days. . He's a straight bullshitter and just wants your money. I'm mad it's my money I spent and your ass don't wanna give me the jeans I want. Why say you can exchange something but take forever to help a costumer. Trust me don't waste your time here. You'll waste your money and don't believe what he says. read more

Bought a pair of steel toed shoes for work, paid $130. How much do they sell for elsewhere? About $50. Absolute scumbag salesman. How can a business possiblity justify a 160% markup over retail? And on top of that you can't make returns, store credit only. Be wary, compare prices before you buy. read more

For those that are constantly in contact with sharp edges or heat and sparks. Or just want the quality wear factor. Safety head gear and reflective outer garments.

Went all over from Manteca to Lodi. Looking for Thorogoods size 5 in mens or any other wedge sole boot with support for work. Every other place had nothing. When I walked in I was fustraighted and ready to explode. I could not wait to order and have shipped. My others boots had completely been worn through. Wasn't sure they would last or I could handle till had some shipped. Not only that but he took the time to measure my feet and custom cut insoles. Woman, in trades this is your local place to go! read more

OMG This place should give a class on how to rip off your customers, how not to handle an order, how not to refund a merchandise, how to tell a customer they are wasting your time and to put whatever price you feel like putting on the item at least 2x or 3x minimum of the actual price. I do not know how this place have a 4 star review. The yelpers who gave this place 2 stars and above might be bias, relative, coworkers, paid actors, marketers, bots or just plain piece of shit liars. If they are genuine human beings they need to reevaluate themselves on how to rate a place of business. If you do not believe me go ahead and go the store, I promise you, you will be pressured on buying something and if you do not buy the item they will just be extra rude to you. If you buy something here because you really need it then you will be upset because you will find out everything that this place sells you can get it cheaper somewhere else. Brand new too not used like what this place sells and you are not even sure if this place sells originals. DO NOT come here for the love of God. read more

DO NOT EVER SHOP HERE!!!! 0 STARS!!! I ordered a jacket and work shirts in July. The owner said he would have the shirts in a few days and the jacket in 2-3 weeks. Being a larger man and having trouble findIng work wear that fits I was happy that he was going to be able to help, or at least that's what he told me. I came back 3 weeks later and when I walked in he was on the phone, he then proceeded to tell the other person on the phone how large of a person I was and how my jacket was hard to order in such a large size! He then told me my order was not in yet and to come back next week. I proceeded to come back, week after week, and every time it was the same story...come back next week Thankfully I had not paid for the work shirts, and I eventually found some on amazon to order. The jacket was a different story, because I had prepaid for it. After months and months of coming back he eventually gave me my money back in January, almost 7 months later!!! After getting my money back I found a jacket online for half the price, ordered it and had it in 3 business days. Also, he didn't just make rude comments about my size just once, he did it on several occasions, and twice telling people he was talking to on the phone. To sum it up, this place is a joke of a business! DON'T EVER SHOP HERE!!!! read more

This place is not a place to come to if you want good service! They are rude and will under mind you. Talk down to you and try to give you "a good deal" this place and some of the people that work here are a head ache! Shop amazon you will get a better deal and better service! read more

This store has all of the best work gear you could find anywhere. And the service is great there, they treat you like family. I would recommend this store to anyone. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would!! My husband and I went in a month ago to get him some work pants. They ended up not having his size in stock so the owner offered to order them. We ordered a few pairs totaling around $250. We still haven't received the pants. We also ordered shirts and haven't got them either. He said they were at another store and he would have someone bring them right over. Needless to say we're still waiting!!!!! read more

I will never do business with this place again. Purchased a pair of Clark's shoes per there recommendation. Fine, noticed that after a couple of days of wearing, my left foot was starting to hurt. Took a closer look at the shoes and they sold me 2 different sized shoes. Went and showed them and all they did was give me new inserts, instead of giving me the correct size shoes. Do business at your own risk but never again for me. read more

So I went into The Works today. I wanted to get a new safety vest for work. The gentleman showed me a catalog and he said that it would take 2 day for delivery. I said I was good and he then proceeded to get upset that I didn't want to buy right away. I told him there was no reason for him to be yelling at me. He told me he didn't give a F and told me to get the F out. I proceeded to start walking out and I told him he really didn't have to yell at me. I was getting into the car and he followed me out there and tried to take photos of me and the car. I told him to back off and go back into his store I was done. He kept pushing up on me to try to take pictures and said he was going to call the police. So I beat him to it. He then tried to act like nothing was happening. I am immune compromised and he was in my face screaming for nothing. I hope he didn't have COVID-19. all I wanted was a new safety vest for work but I got this. This was extremely unprofessional. read more

When I come into town I like shopping at the local stores. I wanted to get my son in law some things for work and Christmas....shopping here was a BIG MISTAKE. I ordered some socks and pants that he didnt have in stock but reassured me they would be in the following week. I live in monterey so my daughter came back to pick them up... nothing Samny said next week, then next week, then next week until almost 2 months my daughter and son in law came in and Sammy told my daughter I came in and we spoke??...(lies, I live out of town!)..said my items would be in the following week. My daughter knew he was lying so she called me and I confronted him on it, we got into a huge arguement and he tried throwing it back on my son in law saying he didnt like his attitude. Well after all that arguing I ended up getting refunded back and dont ever plan on shopping there again and after reading all these reviews I completely agree with these people. Shop at your own risk! Not worth it read more

I went here about a year ago looking for some boots. I ride a Harley so I need good ones. I had gone through several pair until I went here and bought a pair of Double H boots. They are the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever had. I went there a few weeks ago just to look at some walking shoes and I tried on a pair of Thorogood shoes #834-6932, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on, so I bought them.

Place doesn't have enough steel toes in stock. I came here 3 months ago and bought some socks and the owner stated that he had some socks that would last me forever which I laugh at his comment and knew they would only last me about six months. After 3 washes they ripped and I decided to take them back and show him that he was full of it. I came back today and he tells me no pair of socks will last you forever and I told him yeah but 6 months is all I was asking and that didn't even happen. He gave me another pair of socks which I'll try and see how long they last. Owner has poor attitude and very aggressive. read more

Came in for new insoles for my boots and ended up walking out with some new boots entirely. The owner or whoever was working (came off as an owner) hooked me up! I'll definitely be bring my business back! read more

I have always had problems shopping at this store and the return policy is bad. Recently I returned a set of boots for 218 dollars in store credit. The store has nothing I need and I asked for money back, but the owner Sammy said he could order me products online. I deploy soon and figured I would just get some 511 products to use overseas and Sammy has been giving me the run around saying the order is delayed and he just doesn't return my calls or text. Now I have to go through military family assistance to get my money back because he won't honor the credit. He took advantage of the fact that I was deploying overseas and delayed so I couldn't use the credit. He is dishonest and has poor communication read more

I had to change my review here because Fidel the Dad is so rude and unprofessional! I used to love this place until the disrespected my husband! Th3y said uf you buy pants and if doesbt fit right they will hem it and fix it for free. Then when we came bacj rhey said$20 s9 then we paid $20 then we come back and they said its nit ready so we came back again Fidel started trippin and saying take your business somewhere I don't fucking care about you and my son i kicked him out too. Because he stole money from me! I don't care what is going in with the famiky drama. We are here to get the parents fix and do business. He retyrned the pants that we gave them clean pants and he returned it stinky and cat poop. We took pictures of this pants to have proof. Now I'm telling all my friends, co workers not to come here. The business we used to live because Sam would help and make customer happy but then now since he abused his son stealing money he tskes it on us! First time at this place and Sammy and his dad were nice! They are good business people. They see my boyfriends pants to make his pants fit right! Amazing people. read more
