I had the best shoe/ boot buying experience of my life here. All the staff was friendly and helpful. I love the feel of the place, and can appreciate the history of the family- owned shoe business.
I came in looking for some good wildland boots for firefighting after doing some extensive online research, but still hoping to narrow down my options.
Ivan took one look at my feet and knew exactly what size to get me. He came over with several boxes of shoes and showed me the different options, let me try them out for myself, and explained to me the intricate details about each boot and why he would recommend certain ones over others. He expressed a vast knowledge of shoes, soles, and feet that I could learn from and benefit from in buying from him.
Ultimately, we ended up ordering a pair of boots after narrowing down the brand and the style of boot, and I absolutely love them. Don't go to a department store or large chain with employees whose knowledge is hit or miss... Go to the guys who have been doing it for a lifetime and really know and love what they do!
Emil's has been a go- to for lots of fire departments in the area, and now I see why.
Thank you for your expertise and generosity! I will be coming back for all my boot and shoe needs from now on.
