Reviews on Don's Footwear

 (The reviews below are all from a few emails sent to myself over the last 1-2 months. I have delete the names)

Thank you, Allan. I received the shoes-- they look quite beautiful and the midsole tech seems significantly more comfortable than the traditional one. I will let you know how the shoes work out, but I am a happy customer right now. 

Many thanks for the prompt work and fast shipping. 

Received shoes today and they are beautiful. 

Cheers.

Allan - I didn't get any photos you sent but I did get the boots a couple months ago and just wanted to say thank you, they feel and look great! Beautiful work.. Best regards, Jim

Hi Allan,

No need for stretchers as they fit great now, it was just when I first go them.   Thank you.  i love 'em they are beautifully made shoes and now they are comfortable too.

Hi Allan, 

I just wanted to say that the shoes arrived last week and they are beautiful. The midsole technology is definitely more comfortable too. 

Thank you for your great work, 

Hi Allan,

Just got the shoes today--incredible craftsmanship, as always!

Thanks!

I just received the D'Etna boots and they are amazing! Truly amazing work! Thank you, and I apologize for worrying and seeming impatient.

ear Allan,

Hope you are well.

I was just wondering whether you might give me an update on the below order?

I have been enjoying my current pair of midsole tech shoes - they have hardly aged a bit since I've been wearing them - great quality.

Many thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Isaac…..

Great craftsmanship. Love the detailed finishings. 

Thanks Allan. I received the first pair of shoes in the mail and
they're terrific! Thank you.

….

I just received the shoes yesterday -- they are remarkably comfortable, and they look outstanding.  I just wanted to say thank you for an excellent product. 

I look forward to ordering another pair of a different style soon.

Best,

Michael

Received.

The mid-sole technology is genius - great for walking in. Nice shoes. 

Thanks!

One word- perfect. they don't even resemble an "elevator" shoe; they look completely like normal high end shoes

…

I received the shoes and my son loves them.  They 
 are a bit big but we are going to keep them for him to grow
 into because they are so beautifully crafted.  We plan to buy others from you in the future.

Allan,

Just wanted to say I loved the recent 2 pairs of shoes you made. Thanks so much for pushing them through and giving me the loyalty discount. As always such gestures are well remembered and as such you should see another order for 2 pairs of shoes coming to you shortly from me. 

Cheers,

Everett

Allan, I have to admit, I was a little reserved about purchasing a pair of handmade shoes online as I knew it would either be hit or miss. Received the Falcone MST’s today and I must say I was extremely shocked by the quality of the shoes! I just had to try them on right away.  It doesn’t feel exactly the same as regular shoes but it is comfortable enough for me to want to wear them on a regular basis and the arch is very minimal.  As you had mentioned they look ab wonderful in jeans as the pants fall on the shape of the shoes really well.  Almost sneaker like!

Thank you for a job well done and a pleasure doing business with you!  I will be purchasing a pair of dress shoes in the near future and will definitely spread the word.

Hi Allan

just received shoes they look and feel fantastic….

Allan,

I think the shoes were worth the wait.
they are a little tight but I think this will pass. I cannot believe how natural the walking experience is! 
Customer for life

I was saying that I received the boots and they are gorgeous.

Hi Allan,

Just arrived back home from holiday- shoes all received and look great. Thank you for your work- I am sure you will have another order from me in a few months when I decide to add another set of your shoes to my collection..

Hello.

Over the past several years, I have purchased several pairs of Don's shoes and am a loyal return customer.  These shoes are premium, consistent in quality, and remarkable in style and design.

Hello Allan

Just received the Royston with the gold buckle. May thanks for making them just a little bit wider. They fit great and look fantastic.

I received the boots today and they are extremely comfortable. I also noticed you sent a few inserts.

 I got the shoes on Friday and absolutely love them. They are beautifully crafted and the height difference is spot on

Shoes are great! Thanks Allan.

HI Allan,
 
I received another pair of shoes from you. I just want to thank you for the way you handled the situration.
I am def. a lifelong customer. Your shoes are awesome! It also helped to change my self image. I've always been called strikingly handsome but have always felt unattractive due to my height. I am about 5'10 or 11... the shortest in my family. With the shoes i am saving a phychologists bill!! LOL
 
Thanks

How to use elevator shoes

There is no secret to using elevator shoes, It quite simple really! it  just takes time to get used to wearing them. The only problem with regular elevator shoes is that it can be noticeable due to the walking action and the look of the shoe then there is the discomfort of wearing them for more than 8 hours. Ive met quite a few customers over the years and I've listened to  what is important that why I created the MIDSOLE TECH style. I was diterminde to make a shoe that looks and feels normal. The next step for me is to create an even higher high increase and retain that normal look. I am the own of Don's Footwear will strive to make that happen so I can keep the Don the best elevator website on the web

Allan, LOVE the shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are terrific. I actually took them to my shoe repair guy here at 20^th Century Fox to darken them a little for me and he said they were some of the nicest shoes he’s worked on and he’s been a cobbler for 60 years.

Hi Allan,

Hi Allan,

I hope you are well.

I just would like to thank you on the superb job you did with the shoes I ordered.

Allan,
All I can say is wow. I tried on the boots, and the fit beautifully. The brown with the burnished detailing is just perfect and the fit is great. And walking in them is so smooth! I couldn't be more satisfied, thank you so very much. If I could afford it, I would not shop anywhere else period. Again, thank you a million times over. You're a true craftsman.

Hi Allan,

Shoes arrived. I think they're going to be my new favorite pair. Thank you.

Allan, 

I am very impressed with the quality of these shoes.  

Hi Allan, 
Today I received the Nerone boots. Thank you very much. They fit perfectly and once more I am very satisfied with the end product. I'll be soon order more shoes. Keep up the good work and thank you  once again.
