I can't say enough good things about Homewood Shoe Hospital and Victor Costa. I have used them for multiple shoe repairs and recently for custom orthotics. The orthotics are well made, fit my feet and are so comfortable! There have been many times when Victor has gone out of his way to provide a service. The first time I visited the business, I went in on a whim seeking advice about how to condition a leather coat. Victor gave me advice and then gave me leather conditioner to try for free. That was the start of excellent, caring service!

This is easily the best orthotic and shoe repair business I've ever encountered. I am a former diplomat and had foot trouble for years. I've tried more highly recommended podiatrists and orthopedist and shoe makers than I can recall. None came close to the craftsmanship and care of Homewood Shoe Hospital. Victor Costa is a master. I've lived in Italy and England and Spain, places known for shoe makers. By any standard Mr Costa is the best, especially in regard to making orthotics. The orthotics Mr Costa makes are original, and amazingly effective. The orthotics are lighter, and better than anything else I've tried at three times the price. As for service, Mr Costa will work until they are right, fitting, and refitting until they are just right. After a hip operation, I felt like I'd never walk again without pain. I tried orthotic makers in New York. Chicago and Birmingham. Until I found Homewood Shoe Hospital, I was miserable. Mr Costa is gem of a human and simply terrific. Those reviews than complain because he is simply deluged with shoe repairs miss the point. He has a massive amount of work because he's the best there is. No doubt.

Vic did an excellent job of my boys' orthotics. They are both runners and he made their orthotics to perfection. He is very kind and knowledgeable and truly cares about his customers satisfaction! highly recommend:)

Excellent work and pricing. Very, very friendly customer service. Old time shoe repair where they appreciate your business. Recommend very strongly.
