Testimonials
"I came to the big island to intern on an organic coffee farm. The farm was made of lava rock, which ate my shoes I had brought the first week I was there.
My host on the farm advised me to go to Jim's Shoes to find good work boots. While the shoes were expensive, they were great quality for the price asked. Shoes are like tools: the better quality, the longer they'll last and the less likely you are to get hurt. Jim gave me the right advice on which boots to buy and I went back out into the field.
A month later, after walking over many more lava rocks, the edges of the bottoms of the boots began to shred off. I brought them back to Jim and he agreed to change these Red Wings for another pair that was more 'old school' with Garmont soles. He gave me the right advice the first time and the right advice when I returned.
Right after getting the new boots, my plans changed. I had been preparing to move to another farm to intern, but this fell through and I decided to return to the mainland to better apply for jobs and graduate school. Because I am poor, I took the new boots back for a refund. Jim was very understanding that the boots had been specifically for farm work and since I was no longer doing farm work I wouldn't need them.
Jim was amazingly helpful and courteous throughout my time in Hawaii. I wish I could have stayed and used his boots and worked on the new farm, because it seemed like I could plow through anything in them and better get work done. I would recommend Jim's Shoes to anyone looking to buy a good tool: durable boots that will let you get work done well without getting hurt."
