Last Saturday, Steven accompanied me on my yearly jaunt to Melfe’s Shoes in Ilion, NY, for work shoes. I just love that place! Vicki, who has helped us before was there, as was a young man I had not seen before. He brought out my selections with a friendly smile.
He was equally cheerful about having his picture taken for my blog.
Vicki told us he was David, who attends college in Cortland but returns every year to help them with their January rush.
Steven got a pair of sneakers. His feet have been bothering him lately, so I wanted him to get a quality pair. Vicki helped him.
More service with a smile!
He ended up getting one of the best-fitting pair of sneakers he has ever had, because they had a pair of 10 1/2 EEEE in stock. I didn’t know they made quadruple E.
Just a few of the shoes available.
It did not take us long, because we had good luck finding what we liked. Sometimes I end up trying on pair after pair before I say, “I think we have a winner!”
Melfe’s also does shoe repair. I have had several heel bottoms replaced on dress shoes. Some people just go ahead and buy new shoes, but when I find a pair I like, I like to keep them for as long as possible. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
Melfe’s is located at 64 Central Ave., Ilion, NY, phone number 315-894-4049. They are open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, and 9 to 5 p.m. Saturday.
