A stretch

All that was needed was a quick stretch of a moccasin. The price of $31 seemed somewhat OTT.

Hi Brian, thanks for taking my call.
Enjoy your moccasins, and if they need anything else doing, please get in touch.
Kind regards
Shane

I can’t really notice the difference. I’ve never used that service before so I’m not sure what I was expecting. Shoe repairs in the past have been amazing.

Stretching big toe area on a new pair of JM Williams boots

Need to come back

The boots I’ve had stretched twice are now usable but the boots that I had done last week weren’t stretched enough to use

Hi Nicky
Thanks for your time on the phone. Please drop the boots back in when you are able.
We will see if we can get a bit more room in them for you.

The service at Shane’s shoes is awesome,and friendly,but the attempt at shoe stretching was not satisfactory, .the ankle opening was stretched but not the toe area that was requested to be stretched.i wouldn’t suggest people get their hopes up on stretching their favourite shoes
