Golf Shoes

It was a waste of time and money, although we were told that sneakers don't streach much, but these were golf shoes.

Hi Peter
Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the stretching on your golf shoes didn’t work as expected. I understand how frustrating that must be. Appreciate your time on the phone. And will do my best to get more space in your golf shoes this time.
Kind regards
Shane
PS here’s why I’m a little fanatical about getting shoes stretched properly...
The Gift of Tight Boots

When I was 9 years old, my Dad got kicked out of the house. He headed overseas for a bit on and off, and one time when he returned when I was around 16 he gave me a pair of leather boots.
The boots were beautiful, but they had one issue—they were a bit too tight. At first, I tried to make them work, wearing them with thick socks and stomping around wet grass to stretch them. That was a mistake; the wetness marked the leather, and I lost the laces somewhere along the way.
Determined to fix them, I headed to town to find replacement laces and make the boots wearable again. What should have been a straightforward task turned into a frustrating journey. It took five shops before I finally found a pair of laces that 'kind of' fit. They were too thin for the sturdy boots, but I had no other choice.
I’ll never forget the frustration of trying to fix something I cared about. Only to be met with subpar solutions and a lack of care from the shops I visited. Those boots were more than footwear; they were a gift from Dad and their repair felt personal.
That experience taught me a lesson. People bring us their belongings not simply for functional repair. But because of the stories and emotions tied to them. When I opened my own repair shop years later, that memory became my guiding principle.
Looking back, those tight leather boots were more than a gift. They taught me the value of care, patience, and pride in one’s work. Today, I channel that lesson into everything we do at the shop. Ensuring that every repair is more than functional—it’s meaningful.
Heres to getting your focus on the golf swing, and off the tight shoes!

Shoe Stretching

It was almost 90% better than it was and thought maybe I should get it done again
but I was pleased with it as I couldn't bear the pain before.

Hi Kay
Thanks for your review! We're glad to hear the shoe stretching brought you some much-needed relief. If you think another round of stretching would make them even more comfortable, feel free to bring them back in. We're happy to help get them just right for you!
Kind regards

Shoe stretch?

I asked for the shoes to be stretched width-wise at front of shoe. What I got was a shoe too long to wear and only marginally stretched width ways. So disappointing and such a waste of my money

Hi Ruth
I’m really sorry to hear that the shoe stretching didn’t go as planned. That’s definitely not the outcome we aim for, and I completely understand your frustration. I’ve given you a call to discuss this and sort it out properly (left message on your answerphone and also sent an email.
Your satisfaction is important to me, and I’d love to make things right.
Kind regards
Shane
