Hey Bro I got these boots online, can you mold them for me.

Spring is the time of year we see the most product come into the store that was purchased online.  We get it, there are thousands of sites selling hundreds of thousands of products at the end of the season and all they, (us too), want is to get their money out of the products to pay the bill for buying them.

Lots of customers we have, estimates are up to 90%, buy products that we sell online as well as from a local retailer like us.  So just to be clear, we are not trying to be jerks when we need to charge you for working on things you bought somewhere else.  My staff gets paid the same from me for fitting boots I sold or that you bought from cheapstuff.com.  I need to cover his wages and try to keep the lights on so we are not trying to “stick it to you” when we tell you it is $60 bucks to mold your boots.  Yep, part of that price is the premium you pay for having a qualified trained professional do the work for you.

I know that there are directions online to mold them in your oven at home, and some shops will do it for less than us.   I would contend you get what you pay for.  We like fitting boots we are good at it and have been doing customer molded boots and custom boot fitting for over 20 years, that experience we believe has value.

So if the boots you bought online don’t fit.  The way I see it is you have 2 choices,
Pay us to make them fit or take all the money you saved, stick it down in the boot and see if that makes it fit better.
