Shoe Casa

Great selection, prices and service. He showed me a number of choices in my size and even had sizes that were wider than normal (perfect for my feet).
He has a great selection and I’ll definitely be back for more.
Note that all sales are final!

I am pretty sure this shoe store only has one thing going for it — a very clever name. Funnily enough, for the first six months or so I walked below this sign nearly daily, I thought that the name of the store was a DIFFERENT clever shoe-​based pun, «SHOE CASE». Yes, I can read, but seeing the sign from below skewed my vision and I never cared to investigate the matter further — Shoe Case seemed like a badass name to me!
Unfortunately Shoe Casa doesn’t live up to the hype of its punny name. The store is the type that offers such specials as «This Pair 8.99 (both shoes)» and cheap import knockoff shoes that look like they might fall apart on their first trip around the block. Shoe Casa, how is it that you managed to disappoint me so much?
The general Bloor/​Ossington area has about three or so such shops, shops which offer off-​brand shoes and very deep discounts on them. I’m sure that these shoe stores are necessary for some people, but I feel bad that they will spend on a bargain a lot more in their poor uncomfortable feet (and probable frequent replacement of shoes). Bottom line, avoid. Although to be fair the shop staff are generally quite friendly if you take a peek inside.
