Gary Lavoie of Footworks is just too busy to fix shoes - that is what he told me today; so you may want to go somewhere else.

These have to be the rudest people I have ever met. They did a completely unprofessional repair on a new pair of $150.00 shoes. When I expressed my disappointment and asked why they didn't call me to let me know the repair wasn't going as they had anticipated he became angry. After he yelled at me for a minute or so, during that time he said I was a terrible person and told me to lose his address and then he actually threw my receipt at me. Please save yourself from disappointment in workmanship and the downright scary customer service and take your shoes to a qualified cobbler.

Went to his store and bought one pair of shoes and wanted a second pair of dressier shoes. I didn't have the money for the second pair of shoes and wasn't sure wether I wanted a boot or a shoe. So I told him I would wait on the second pair. He ordered the boots anyway and then was angry when we didn't take them. Now he won't sell anything to us. My recommendation is that if you need orthopedic or diabetic shoes in a hurry you can go to him in a pinch, but otherwise go somewhere else. There are other places that won't try to pressure you. Doctors - I wouldn't recommend him, especially to people who have a limited income.
