Look at what people are saying about us
A heartfelt thank you for the repairs to my birkenstocks and for fixing the extra birks I sent. My old birks look brand new. I was thrilled when I got them back; and the speed of service was an extra plus. I do apologize for being so slow in sending my appreciation. America needs more of your services. Thanks
- Claudia Diethorn (Hemingway, SC)
Gosh, what can I say that will effectively tell you how my custom-molded shoes have changed my life. Not to be too effusive, but your shoes have enabled me to join the mainstream, just walking along with no pain. And, I assure you, it has been many, many years since I could walk thusly. I don't think "miracle" is too over the top. Keep up the good work and thanks from the bottom of my soles!!!
-Dee McAllonis, (Pittsburgh, PA)
I have recommended you to my friends and I personally expect to continue to have you make shoes for me in the future. Again, please thank everyone at Best-Made. Your shoes and boots truly are"Best Made".
-Ron Ezuck (Columbia Heights, MN )
I got shoes from you years ago and they were the best shoes I've ever worn! I came back for more arch supports. Thank You.
- Florence Chiodo (Wife of Famous Pittsburgher Joe Chiodo of Chiodo's Tavern)
In the past 15 years I have patronized custom shoe stores in Portland, OR, - Caramel, CA - San Francisco, CA and Best-Made Shoes in Pittsburgh. And I must say I am most happy with Best-Made Shoe's service, selection and support.
Best-Made Shoes has always come through where others have failed. They are experts in their field AND provide excellent customer service.... hard to find these days. Again thank you very much for your years of service and support - A very satisfied customer

I just had to let you know that after I left your store, I walked around the Strip and then Giant Eagle for over an hour in my new Alegrias- no hint of toe pain at all. Came home and changed into my new sneaks and comfy socks and went for a 2+ mile walk. Again, no hint of any burning or toe pain! Woohoo! You ARE my new hero.
Thank you from the bottom of my sole ( bet you've heard that before :>) for your patience and caring. I am already thinking about which sandals I want for summer! See you in a couple of months. Thank you so much.
- Nancy Bergman (Pittsburgh, PA)
The orthotics and shoes you gave me worked great! My feet are so happy. It's been two years and my feet feel incredible! Thank you for your time and patience. It is nice talking with people who actually know about feet and shoes. Thank You!
- Lola Buchan, (Kittanning, PA)
I live in Baltimore, but was in Pittsburgh on business. I was in desperate need of help. I showed up at Best Made Shoes one Saturday morning wearing my over priced, ill fitting shoes with custom made orthotics from Baltimore that did nothing but cause me pain and trouble!
I met Gene and he is a genius in my book! He listened to my sad story, proceeded to smile,and whistle as he worked, totally putting me a ease and giving me confidence that he could help me when I had been seekinghelp from others for over 2 months! Gene provided me with comfortable, proper fitting orthotics and shoes at a reasonable price that are heaven to wear!
I was so impressed by the skill, knowledge and customer service that I received at Best Made Shoes that I will always make the 4 hour drive to Pittsburgh to get my shoes and orthotics from Best Made! I seriously feel like you gave me a large part of my life back by getting me into shoes that totally work for me and allow me to go about the business of living my life! Thank you so much!!
- Pam Flemke (Baltimore, MD)
You guys work magic! This is the only place I buy my shoes from. We are so glad we found your store! You have to stay open forever! Thank You!
- Kristen Antolini (Morgantown, WV)
You measured my feet! No one does that anymore. The shoes have really helped my feet. My podiatrist was very impressed with the improvement I have experienced in the last few weeks. God Bless you and have a wonderful holiday.
- Kathy Atkins (Salem, VA)
I only come to Pittsburgh for two things - to see you
to make my custom orthotics and to visit my friends who live there.
- Roslyn Bendet (Santa Barbara, CA)
I want to thank you for taking the time to submit the medicare form for my mother-in-law. I also wanted to let you know her feet feel 100% better. She is able to walk much better and with a lot less pain. I'm just sorry that I didn't get to you sooner.
-Marsha Merinar (Wheeling, WV)
Dear Marc, wanted to let you know that the shoes arrived this Tuesday morning, in perfect condition; not bad at all your postal services ! The shoes fit perfectly and I am very happy,
I have such trouble fitting my orthotic into any other shoes. I seem to always buy the same model, imagine that I could not find one pair in the whole of Australia. Again thank you for all of your help. I really appreciate it.
- Helen Berger (Australia)
To the "BEST-MADE SHOES" & Gene!
-Dr. Thomas Starzl, World-Famous Transplant Surgeon (Pittsburgh, PA)
Thank you so much! I moved from Pittsburgh to Colorado and I needed my shoes fixed for my wedding in Sept. 2004. No one in Colorado could help me and I came all the way back to Pittsburgh! You did a FANTASTIC JOB!
- Rachel & Steven Beck (Colorado)
By the way, the last birks you modified for me were PERFECT!
-Charles Robrecht (North Carolina)
I had plantar fasciitis pain for 3 months and I came to your store. In 2 days after going to your store my pain was gone!
- Joseph Cortazzo (Pittsburgh, PA)
You do make the "Best-Made Shoes" in the USA. I am still wearing the original black shoes you made for me 10 or 11 yrs ago, and they still fit. I will be ordering a new pair of custom-made shoes which will be my 16th pair from you. Thanks
- Helen Wright (Vero Beach, FL)
I am only in for a couple of days and I had to come into your store again. You have great shoes! I'll be back the next time I'm in the USA. Thank You.
- Isaac Candi (BRAZIL)
The custom-molded shoes fit perfectly!
-Roger Schmechel (New Berlin, WI)
I came into your shop about a month ago, and never really had someone fit a shoe to my foot before. THANK YOU.. I bought 3 pairs that day and the best is Birkenstock. Also, the NEW BALANCE in AA width, there was never a shoe store that ever told me they made AA shoes-- Thanks Again.
- Isobel Flynn (Pittsburgh, PA)
These shoes are great! My life has changed! My family notices the difference. I notice the difference. I am so glad I found out about your store. I am only coming to you for all of my shoes.
- Andrew Miller, M.D. (Pittsburgh, PA)
Step into 2009 with B.M.S. (Best-Made Shoes) on your feet! Peace!
- Wyatt Ruther El (Acapulco, Mexico)
The only reason that I am walking is because of Best-Made Shoes! I told my doctor that, and told her to send her patients here! You guys are the best!
- Carol Ferguson (Philadelphia, PA)
Birkenstock shoes are the only shoes that I can wear all day without my feet hurting at all! Best-Made Shoes has the largest selection in stock and the SERVICE IS GREAT - They do repairs on site and will order anything you want.
- Sandi McMaster (Pittsburgh, PA)
I can't believe we found shoes that fit! We've been everywhere and nobody has what you have! Thank you so much!
- Bridgett Reinerth (Kenna, WV)
I was in your store in June 2002 and bought 3 pairs of shoes from your store. I appreciated the service I received in your store and found both of the people I dealt with to be very helpful, low-key and informative. When I am in Pittsburgh, I'm sure I'll stop in again.
- Judy Denberg (Marlborough, CT)
-The"Best-Made Shoes"you had made in January are truly"The Best-Made Shoes"I ever had. I have tremendous relief and I cannot thank you & your staff enough for doing such a terrific job. God Bless You!!
- Sister Mary Leonard Peskus (Pittsburgh, PA)
I was standing in line at my drugstore back home. I was complaining about my sore feet. The women in front of me told me about your store and that is how I came here originally. And that was years ago! I only come here for all my shoes!
- Cathy Caughey (Finleyville, PA)
As I order my second pair of "Best-Made Shoes", I pause to reflect that this is one of the most worthwhile purchases I have ever made in my life. As a surgeon, you must wear comfortable shoes and not have tired, aching feet. You need complete concentration on the work at hand and not worry about sore feet. I'm grateful to you and I'm sure your customers are too.
- Marion B. Tallent, M.D. (Nashville, TN)
Our Customers are the BEST!
Thank You from Best-Made Shoes for the past 35 years! Looking forward to the next 35 !
