Panza Shoes
January 4th, 2008
My mom loves comfortable shoes and one of the few things she doesn’t mind paying “good money” for are quality, comfortable shoes. For her Hanukkah gift, I got her a gift certificate to Panza Shoes (downtown across from Town Hall).
Mom usually looks for a wide shoe and Panza specializes in special sizes like narrow, wide etc…
When I went in there to get the gift certificate the guys working there were really nice and 30 minutes after I came in there I found myself sitting down with them in the customer chairs comparing notes on Framingham restaurants.
When I said I was pleasantly surprised that this place seemed to be doing well, the manager said they get regular people that come from all over metrowest, newton and further because of their shoe selection. He said old ladies that bought their shoes here 50 years ago now bring their grandchildren. I noticed the whole time I was there that they knew every customer by name and would ask how their families are. The guys said they think of it as “Cheers” because people come in and don’t just buy shoes, they sit for a while and tell them about all sorts of things going on in their life. ivermectin 1 50 ml The manger said Panza prides it’s self on this and that “This is a sit down, take your time and find the right shoe kind of place. If you just want a pair of shoes, go to the mall”. coupons for ivermectin They seem to be so confident in their product and service that they don’t feel the need to update their decor. They joked about that and said the only thing that changes in the store are the shoes.
It’s funny that this should be such a unique experience but I really feel like this is a little time capsule gem that we’re lucky to have downtown. I’m looking forward to going with my mom to get the whole shoe fitting experince : )
