Cheaney Shoes - advice on styles, lasts and fitting

[@squirehaggard4749]

What a rare pleasure (too rare, nowadays) to listen to a man who not only knows his product inside and out, but also has an enthusiasm for it because he knows what a top notch product he's selling.

[@OSR_1]

@Kenny Perez See whilst I agree Retail employees are largely underpaid, I don’t agree that it means they can’t take pride in the service that they as individuals deliver. When I worked in retail I got paid a tiny wage but I always went out of my way to deliver great customer service to customers, because I wanted people to think I was great at my job and enjoy their interaction with me. This is a trait that I have carried on throughout my career and has transferred time and time again :).

[@andthensome512]

When I was a kid in the 1970s and 80s, you usually went to a shoe store to buy shoes, i.e. Kinney's and Tom McCann. There were actual shoe salesman who would do what this gentlman does. I miss that. Professional, quality service has declined dramatically over the past 20 years in just about every sector of retail. I just love watching this video. Very relaxing, and now I want my very own pair of Cheaney shoes! $$$.

[@guccimalcs]

WeAreThey or people aren’t as lazy and can try on their own shoes. Retail workers aren’t there to service you, they are there to do their job.

[@KevBoy3D]

Shoes are a complex subject matter, a normal joe can not be expected to service themselves when buying a pair of shoes that will fit the way they are supposed to. This isn't like buying a loaf of bread! Retail has gone down in quality--and is now the domain of young women who don't know the products they are selling like this gentleman does. And I don't say that to offend because how can they be expected to know?

I appreciate you pay’s your money and take your choice but for me this is the kind of service I appreciate when buying a quality sartorial piece or any high value item. It’s what used to know as good old fashioned customer service which sadly is a rare thing these days.
