I will never return. I've been here multiple times over the past 15 years to get boots repaired, without any issues. I took my husbands boots and mine, and they did a completely horrible job on BOTH boots. My boots were so bad, that I had to go out and buy brand new ones - I couldn't even wear the boots they had "fixed." My husbands boots included fixing the heel. As you can see, the nails aren't even fully in the heel, and barely flush with the rubber. Anytime he walks on wood floors, he'll be scratching them. When the rubber wears down so slightly, the nails will be sticking out causing them to catch on everything. The rubber wasn't cleaned up from cutting to size. Just sloppy all together. My boots included the heel as well. I put my boot on, and my foot was horribly everted due to the heel being completely uneven. My foot was angled in. I could't even wear the boot. It's completely visible when looking at the boot, as you can see. Having a professional complete such a hack job on my footwear that should be so obvious to the worker, is disgusting. I can't believe they viewed this as acceptable to have me pay for the work done. Lastly, I returned to the store telling the owner that this work was unacceptable. I asked them to hammer in the nails in the boot completely, and the owner told me I had to drop them off for another 5 days. This is not a solution in my book, they already had the products for 8 days to begin with. He should have taken them back and just pushed the nails in to a proper depth. I explained the horrible job done on my boots, and yet he didn't offer anything to compensate for the job completed. Just stood there staring at me. Not only am I upset that I paid good money for this unacceptable job, I then had to go purchase new footwear as the boots were not wearable. Not only did the complete a hack job, but then were not fixing the problem timely. I was referred here years ago by a retailer in Brockport. Those owners are now not referring others to Westgate, as they have seen my pictures, now have my money from buying new boots... And were also disgusted by the work completed there.

Very simple repair done just ok. Remnants of glue showing. But convenient to my location. Not too many shoe repairs left.

I brought my 2 pair of loafers in. I was told I had to pay upfront $50. I asked how long it would…read morebe and the women at the desk said one week. I called in one week and she said " Did you get a text?" I said no . She said well when you get a text that's when they are done. I said you promised a week and she insisted she did not!! She insisted she said 10 days or more.Continued to argue on the phone until I said fine I'm not arguing with you about it. I won't be back I should've read the reviews. I questioned the work and she said if you hadn't worn down the heel he wouldn't have had to build it up again.

DO NOT BRING YOUR SHOES HERE. I should have listened to the prior reviews.. I don't know why I…read moretrusted this place. I brought my favorite Sperry's here to see if they could clean and refresh the leather and glue down one area on the side where the fabric had started to fray. When I received them back, the whole sole was glued around the shoe with globs of glue. They do not look refreshed at all, the leather in the front got damaged from I'm guessing how the shoe was clamped or a tool that was used. Also the stitching was frayed and damaged. I'm crushed that my favorite shoes were damaged like this and at a store that's supposed to fix shoes!! I went in to request a refund (which I did receive), but when I expressed my concerns for the damage done to my shoes, I was told that they did their best but that the shoes are older shoes. I don't know who's bringing new shoes to a repair and restore shop, but this is unacceptable service for either new or old. If they didn't think they could do the work, they should've never accepted it. Did I mention they require you to pay up front before any service is provided? Strongly do NOT recommend
