I went to the store to have orthotics made that duplicated the pair I got from my podiatrist. I was assured that they could duplicate the appliance. I went to pick up the appliance the heal was about 0.25 inches higher I asked why the made them differently I was told they were made that way to even the step of the orthotic. NOT an exact duplicate. They tried to take some material from the heal and it was clear they would not be able to duplicate the original. I ask if it was possible to get a refund of the $300.00 I paid for the appliance I was told no that they would “make adjustments” on them. I said I was not satisfied and left the store. I am sure there are many people who receive good service from the owners of the store. I am not a satisfied customer. A word of advice be very careful doing business here.

With the excruciating pain I was experiencing due to plantar fasciitis, I paid a visit to Best Made Shoes. My wife also suffered from plantar fasciitis pain. The individual who waited on us (please note he was rather smug) recommended a Birkenstock orthotic for both my wife and I. When I asked him the price of the item, he indicated it was $70 per pair (for a total of $140.) Although I thought this was rather pricey, I moved forward with the purchase. The orthotic he recommended seems to be working well for me and I wanted to purchase another pair. I searched the internet and found the identical item on Ebay for $39.20!!!



Talk about getting taken advantage of!! Thanks for ripping me off, Mr. Gene Rosen - you'll never see me again!!

We just read your review and were thrilled that we were able to take away so much of your discomfort for you and your wife. We were surprised to see you comparing our store to Ebay, which is an online self-serve market. When you came to our full-service family shoe store you were suffering with excruciating pain due to plantar fasciitis. After determining the best product to relieve your discomfort we professionally fitted you with the right size, shape and orthotic height to relieve your pain. You say in your comments that the orthotics worked so well you wanted another pair. I am sorry you felt that you were charged too much for your orthotics because you found them cheaper on Ebay. Ebay has people selling what ever they can find. Of course you can always find something cheaper on Ebay compared to a family run shoe store. We have people come to us from all over the country to relieve their pain. Customers have spent over $400 for orthotics that come out of a box from other stores and are thrilled to find our store. The other stores orthotics didn't even relieve their symptoms. We pride ourselves in helping people for over 37 years walk better and relieve their pain. Once again we are happy that we were able to relieve your excruciating pain.

After years of struggling to find shoes that would properly fit my leg braces, meeting the great people of Best Made Shoes changed my life. Best Made Shoes were not able to find just one pair of shoes that would fit -- but, they were able to supply me with dress shoes, boots, and sandals -- all shoes that I was never able to wear with my leg braces before coming to their store. I highly recommend Best Made Shoes to anyone who utilizes an orthotic, or to anyone who has difficulty finding shoes due to an orthopedic condition. In addition to being knowledgeable about properly fitting and making shoes, the people of Best Made Shoes are also patient and kind, and prompt in their service. I buy all of my shoes from Best Made Shoes, and highly recommend that anyone who has difficulty walking do the same!

I’ve had 3 surgeries on my f...

I’ve had 3 surgeries on my feet to repair damage from osteoarthritis. I thought foot pain was just something I had to learn to live with. I went for my 1 year check up post total ankle replacement surgery only to find out that arthritis has attacked a joint in my heal and that another fusion surgery is needed to fix it. There is no way I’m having more surgery right now. I had 2 surgeries within 6 months over a year ago and have still not fully recovered. I still don’t have total feeling back. Nerves are still trying to find a path to “regenerate”. So I left my doctor’s office with a cortisone shot and another brace. I was devastated at the thought of more surgery. I’m on the board of the Arthritis Foundation so I sought advice from my fellow board members. One of whom is a retired occupational therapist and she recommended Best Made Shoes. Best advice I’ve ever received. I bought 2 pairs of shoes and ordered 2 more. It is so wonderful to be able to walk with little to no discomfort. Wow! Shoes that fit properly. I'm so happy!! I'm walking normally, no limp. I don't know how to express my overwhelming satisfaction. Who knew wearing shoes that actually fit properly could change my life. I wore the athletic shoes all day Saturday (shopping) and Sunday (house cleaning and laundry). I was able to do in one day what would have taken me 3 weekends of as much discomfort as I could tolerate. I couldn't wait for winter to wear the black rocker shoes, so I picked out a black outfit to wear today so I could wear them. These shoes are perfect. I can’t get over that I’m walking normally with no pain. Marc, the certified pedorthist, at Best Made Shoes knows his stuff. He measured my feet. I explained the discomfort I was experiencing and he knew exactly which shoe would be best for me. He knows his products intimately – which manufacturers tend to run large or run small or run narrow, etc. I bought shoes right off the shelf. But if I need customized fittings for any of my purchases Best Made Shoes can do that for me. They can even make totally custom fitted shoes if I needed it. Best Made Shoes is the best shoe buying experience I’ve ever had. You have to go there! It is so worth it!

I discovered Best Made Shoes about 10 years ago. I was experiencing sever foot problems because of my diabetes and had already had a toe amputated. The guys atBest made Soes have been great they make me molded shoes and orthotics and I have had very minor foot problems since. I have been so impressed with their caring and how they treat me as one of the family. I recommend Best Made Shoes to my friends and family and feel so comfortable as doing such. I am sure once you vsit their shop you will feel the same way.i

My mother has been everywhere in Pittsburgh to find shoes for her troubled feet. Her friend told her about Best-Made Shoes and we went today. They were so nice, funny and even had 3 choices for her. We haven't been able to find 1 shoe yet 3. It is a family business and they now have a new customer for life. I can't wait to try shoes when I need some. I will recommend them to everyone!

the best fit in pittsburgh

I have been to all the regular shoe stores and to every speciality store in Pittsburgh. I have terrible feet and no one could help me. I finally asked my foot doctor and he said he sends all his patients to best-made shoes. I visited and was treated so well. It is a family business and they spent hours with me trying to find the best choices for me. We ended up getting custom made shoes that they make right in the store. After decades I can finally walk without pain. Thank you so much. I now send everyone to your store. My grandson loves Birkenstock and loves your store too!

walk in bad left worse and broke

I left this store with the worst custom shoes. HEAVY & UGLY when I aksed the man to make an adjustment on them he told me no my feet are the problem I said I realize that, that is why I came here. Thay did nothing but take my money. The owner was nice when I went in but very rud when he relized he was unable to help. I did go to a competator after I left there and thay di help me I would NOT RECAMOND this place.

We just viewed this negative response and was shocked. First,in 33 years we have never failed to help our customers. If there is any problem on a custom shoe we bend over backwards to find a solution. We have never not made adjustments and would never tell the customer that it was their fault. We also would never take their money and leave them with shoes that they couldn't wear. In the very rare situation that the shoes wouldn't fit we would redo the shoe for free.
