Awesome!! They fixed my sons brace for his leg. Saved me lots of money. Thank you so much. ๐
I wouldnt bring my boots anywhere else. Every time Ive had my boots re-healed here, you cant even tell theyre not original. The interior is old school, but in a quant and comfortable way. Arthur is also extremely friendly and a pleasure to talk with. I also wasnt disappointed with the cost for the services provided. The turn around time was also fast, about a week.
Excellent experience,
Dont ever bring your boots to this business. I dropped off my boot for a zipper repair in February. I was told 2 months because of backlog. She said up front the zipper would not be the same style. I said that isnt a problem. I just want it replaced so I can wear the boot. I called her in May thinking that would be PLENTY of time for the repair. She said she left me a voicemail asking for permission to use a different zipper. WE HAD ALREADY discussed the zipper when I left the boot!! So it was NOT fixed in May. I called again in AUGUST and it was still not fixed. It is now September and I still dont have my boot!!! She doesnt call you, you have to call and follow up with her. I now have to pick up my UNFIXED, but taken apart, boot and bring it somewhere else. Completely furious! This is just awful business practice.
It was like stepping into an old world shoe cobblers shop from the 1950s! Which I totally enjoyed talking to Joe & Caroline! Several measurements & asking me to walk, Theyll be ready next week...better construction, with better materials, these orthotic inserts will cost me a fraction of the price & time to receive!! Try the medical world, and I dont need to tell you, several doctor visits & several weeks later with a substandard(comparatively) insert that lasted a year and a half, at twice the price! Its a no-brainer! Their business has been around 105 years!
I do not think there is any better, they know their craft, prices are within reasonand you could not ask for better SERVICE. KEEP GOING FOLKS! ARTHUR HAS ALSO A TERRIFICASSISTANT ALWAYS SMILING!
Mr.Poitras fit me for inserts which have worked just wonderfully.Then they started to wear out he has rebuild them.I now live 1500 miles away and still get my inserts there.
Had a favorite pair shoes repaired, lm retiring for more work!Doe a great job, on a lost art.
Although an older gentleman, Mr. Poitras is nothing short of a wizard in fashioning orthotics. Because of his skilled work, I am a 70 year old woman who is able to continue walking several miles along woodland trails almost every day. I have incredibly flat, arthritic feet, and, because of an unfortunate foot surgery, I am now missing some bone in one foot. A foot surgeon recommended that I try Mr. Poitras orthotics prior to having another surgical procedure, and his hand crafted orthotics have made a very positive difference in my comfort and ability to enjoy life. He is very polite and extremely courteous in an old world kind of way, and my husband and I both enjoy talking with him. His helper is a very entertaining - a really unique woman - and she adds a bit of fun to this old fashioned cobblers shop. I highly recommend J. Arthur Poitras Footwear!
