Just collected my North Face Ballard Boots that I had resoled and I must say I am very impressed with the workmanship,they look as though they was manufactured with the Vibram sole that I chose, as good as a new pair of boots. Very pleased and I will be taking my rock climbing shoes there next time

Went in for a new pair of Vibram Five Fingers. Emailed if walk-ins & trying on shoes was possible (COVID times) and received immediate response. The in-shop experience was exceptional. Along trying on almost all models (and a surprise pair) I received a bunch of pro tips on maintenance & use of the Five Fingers. Very happy customer who now Has a Vibram Five Fingers Xmas wish list

Fantastic service. I really appreciate the time and knowledge shared and because of this I purchased at the the shop rather than from the internet. I'll be back to buy my next pair. Thanks again!
