FAMILY Shoe repair! I had to put down a 20.00 cash deposit last week because my shoes were not good enough! I was told it was 35.00 to glue the sandals and 25.00 to replace the triangle fastener on ine other sandal. I really like this one pair of sandals, but Family Shoe Repair, said not worth it. I disagreed. I thought you were a shoe repair store? Cheap shoes...he makes high end Italian shoes. I said fix them. For $25.00, I will enjoy a great pair of sandals for another season. My sketchers $35.00 was a little steep, but I hate throwing away a good pair of shoes. I gave him the 20.00 deposit and I left the store with a ticket with 25.00 and 35.00 marked on it. Today, I went in to pick up my shoes, and presented my ticket. He couldn't find my shoes. Then he rang it up and asked for $48.00! I sai what? Did you take the 20.00 off I paid last week? Well, he jumped all over me like a flea on a dog. 25.00 a Shoe! 50.00 to glue. 80.00 in total. He went on to beret me. Justify and rationalize. Brought God into it. Shaming me. Calling me a liar. All I wanted was my change. He doesn't take anything but cash! I was forced to listen to him tell me off for 15 minutes in front of customers...how much he pays the government, he has to pay his worker 30.00 an hour! God would not be too happy with a Family Shoe repair shaming a senior citizen for not being able to afford Dior or real Italian leather! Shame on you! Embarrassment to an honorable trade. It doesn't cost 50.00 to glue soles back together. Nothing was replaced. 35.00 for a clasp? Outrageous! I asked him for the ticket with the quoted price...he said No. There are far better Shoe repair places in Aurora and New Market that are...

The Aurora Centre, although offering an extensive array of stores, struggles due to its dated appearance, excessive number of shops, and poor signage. The lack of clear and adequate signage further compounds the challenges of navigating through the numerous stores, making it frustrating for visitors to locate specific shops or services. The outdated infrastructure combined with poor signage detracts significantly from the overall shopping experience, hindering convenience and causing unnecessary confusion. Despite the variety of shops available, the difficulties posed by the dated appearance and inadequate signage make this mall a challenging destination for those seeking a hassle-free...
