There was one lucky customer who was picked out of the entire company to receive a free pair of shoes! He was a customer shopping in the Port Moody location and he was also a run clinic participant. When I contacted Chris about a free pair of shoes he seemed shocked and surprised, but that might have been because my call woke him up in the morning after a night shift. After he realized what I was saying he was excited that he had won. He also agree to take a photo when he came into the Port Moody store to collect his prize.

Thanks Chris for being a sport and taking a picture. We appreciate your feedback. And hey, you got a free pair of shoes for taking 2 minutes out of your day to fill out our online feedback form.
I love my new Merrell’s. Good customer service and friendly environment. Thank you very much!!!
The friendly and knowlegable staff had me tested and out the door in 45 min. in a new pair of runners with Berry insoles and a pair of Montrail sandals which I love. The cost was far less than I expected and the shoes are far more fashionable.I will be back!
Just want to say a “BIG THANKS’ to Laura at the West Broadway location.. She was a great help to me , very informative, I got the feeling she knew what she was talking about. The night splint that I went in to purchase was very helpful to my foot, I can at least get out of bed without any pain !! and that is a great “step in the right direction” if you know what I mean ? She also advised me to bring in my every day walking shoes and get an insert for that shoe as well, which I will do in the very near future.. So thankyou again for being so helpful , I really do appreciate your great service. Oh and also thanks to the young gentleman, sorry didn’t get your name , but you showed me a pair of sandals, that would be better for me to wear.
I absolutely love the staff at the Suter Brook location. I was absolutely devastated with the onset of plantar fasciitis. I’m 50 years old and had been running since I was 14. I walked in there totally floored with the agony of this condition and met the sweetest, most knowlegable staff ever! They were so compassionate and caring about the excruciating pain I was in. They took such good care of me by providing me with a gait analysis, some wonderful custom orthotics, great shoe advice, and superb rehabilitation recommendations. They’re a fabulous team of experts who’ll get you on the road to recovery. Even if you’re not injured, they will set you up with the best shoes for your feet to prevent it!
Phil gave excellent customer service to us when we purchased footware at your store. Excellent customer service!!!
Thank you to Alex in Port Moody for helping me find the perfect runner. I have been injured for over two years and have had a major surgery to put my foot back together. Alex was kind and very good at listening to my specific needs, helping me make a good choice of runner to fit my foot and injury so I can start to walk again. I walked into the store [ in sandals}with a lot of fear and was pleasantly surprised to find myself with a new pair of runners and many assurances of what I could do if ever I was not happy with my choice. Thanks Alex for your patience and I know I will continue to be a customer as well as pass on the good word. P.S. My phsio sent me here and he is never wrong!
I am just out of my air cast – purchased at kintec/maple ridge and further purchases with an aircast A60, Birk trad blue footbed and superfeet copper dmp and a new pair of NB wmns 880 runners. I was very pleased with the service of my dealings with Maple Ridge store and the next purchase at the Surrey Kintec store – where I dealt with Alex and Robert.
Thank you very much. Service was excellent.
I’ve always had difficultly with shoes because salespeople try to force me into women’s shoes despite my insistence that I wear a Mens 7 EE. I’ve wasted hundreds of dollars on shoes that made the sales person comfortable IE: a “women’s” shoe, becasue I am a woman, not because it fits. I’ve had complex ankle surgery including fusing my ankle so my shoe issues have mutiplied. Today I had the pleasure of dealing with Laura who was able to hear my concerns and limitations and respect the knowledge that I have of them I have. She was very kind, patient and fun and I have a wonderful, great fitting pair of (“mens”)shoes! Thank you!
Chris at the North Van store just fixed my back pain with a Sole Heat Moldable Insole and a pair of Montrail Mns Lithia Slide. After he photographed my walking gait and told me what was happening to my arch, he fitted me with an insole that has made a huge difference. The slippers will maintain the support at home. Not only was it an excellent learning experience, but it is so refreshing to get top quality caring and professional service. Thank you. Dave
Yesterday I purchased three pairs of shoes at the Kintec Langley (Twin Rinks). The shoes were for different purposes, walking, hiking, and general purpose yard work. I was served by Jameson Smith, Manager. I was very impressed with his knowledge about the various shoes and how he took measurements of my feet and how well the shoes fit. He was very caring and concerned that the shoes I chose fit well and were comfortable. He was also a very pleasant person to deal with and one who would encourage you to return in the future. His skill, genuine concern, helpfulness, and pleasantness are noteworthy. Thanks, Jameson.
Thank you Ermin! Your courteous service and caring attitude helped me achieve the necessary orthotics for my feet, and to your staff as well – all were very professional and helpful. I definitely will refer you to my friends and family, and will be back again to check out your selection of shoes and sandals.
Sincerely, Thank You! Janice
I just went in to the store last week for a fitting. My Doctor recommended the store and my wife keeps saying I need to go somewhere different for my next pair of orthotics.
I must say: Tom was great, the questions,history, examine was far above the last place i went to. He spent a lot of time with us explaining everything, I can’t wait to get my new orthotics. Thanks Tom.
Sincerly, Lorne
love my Merrel’s ,but even more so i love my orthopedic Birkinstock’s sandals
Matt and Laura where great help at store in Vancouver
Just wanted to thank Ruby at the North Van store for being so helpful finding new running shoes for my husband. How to put it delicately…..he has weird feet! They have extremely high insteps which make it a problem finding shoes that are comfortable and also fit him. Ruby suggested the new Hoka shoes which are being recommended by a local chiropractor and other happy wearers. He says it’s like walking on sponges and they also don’t let him pronate which helps his back. Thank you for your help and expertise.
I saw Chelsea at the Surrey location on King George to get some advice on how to treat my plantar fasciitis. Chelsea was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I felt she did a really thorough assesment and spent considerable time with me explaining the possible causes and how I could remedy the problem with custom orthotics and some stretching and strengthing excercises. Thanks Chelsea for you excellent service and I look forward to picking up my orthotics.
My husband bought a pair of new balance walking show in June and
he was very satisfy with the shoe and the excellent service
of no.171. He suggested that I try your broadway store . The
Saucony walking shoe was very comfortable.Laura gave me
excellent service-very patient.Thank you.

Hi, I’m from Denmark and for the first time ever,I’ve been on holiday in Canada,staying with my family in Langley. It was my cousin,who have been to your shop several times,that told me about your amazing shoes. I have been problems with both my feet and haven’t been able to find any good shoes in Denmark. So we went to visti Kinec in Langley and we was served by Gabrielle, a very sweet and serviceminded person,who new just everything,there is to know about having bad feet and shoes. I bought New Balance Wmns 928 and it felt like heaven to have them on. Walking is no longer a problem for me. Only thing is,I cant buy them in Denmark. Have a nice summer, Helle Ebbesen
Chelsea helped me at the Surrey store and she was very friendly and knowledgable. She explained a lot of things to me and gave me a pretty thorough foot examination. I’ve been wearing my orthotics for a week now and they feel great. The other staff I dealt with at the desk were also very friendly. They werChelsea was bang on time for of my appointments and took as much time as I needed to be properly looked after. Great store, great product, great people.
I’ve been to Kintec Vancouver twice, both times I was greeted by friendly staff, they’ve listened to my requests, and I’ve been treated with respect and in a very professional way. Thank you Mike and colleagues. I will be back in the near future for more quality shoes!!

Excellent service, the place to go for shoes in North Vancouver.
I love my new orthotics and shoes from Kintec. I received excellent customer service from Shirtina in Port Moody Kintec store and am very impressed with the care and time taken to fit me properly and ensure I was happy with the product and service. Thank you
I can’t say enough about Kintec and the staff! It’s one of those few stores that you walk into and they just take care of you. We first discovered the store many years ago because my husband is a runner, then I found my own shoes that were best for my feet. In the past 2 years, my 11 yr old daughter found great running shoes and lots of advise and assistance for her long, slim, over-pronating foot. Turns out that being fitted for orthotics was the way to go … her foot no longer feels like it’s ripping when she walks/runs for a while. Now she can concentrate on her sport rather than the possibility of pain. It means the world to us … Thank you!
Last week, I visited Kintec and I received exellent service, a good explanition of what was going on with my feet and a recommendation on what I should do to fix the problem. I found it very helpful and look forward to be able to use my Orthopedic Insoles. The service was great and people were friendly. Everyone knew what they were doing. Thank you so much!
I just got a pair of Saucony shoes. I have a hard to fit foot and was pleasantly surprised it was so easy to find something that I liked and fit me to a tee. I will definitely be back to get shoes whan I need more.
I’ve said I will be back for more to Kintec Vancouver, and I just did that on Thursday 23, 2012!! Thanks to Laura for her assistance and patience!!! Walked out with another pair of excellent shoes!! Thanks once again for friendly and professional assistance!!
I found the service to be very good. I appreciated the interest and concern given to my problems by Matt. Thankyou again.
Knowledgable and personable staff and good match of shoes to use.
I have visited the Maple Ridge location serval times and have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. They do not give up on making you satified, they will continue to help you until you are completely satisfied.

I have visited the Maple Ridge location several times and have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. I have bought several items from them and have found them to be extremly knowledgable. I had a difficult time adjusting to my orthodics and they went above and beyond to ensure my satistaction. Thank you to the staff and Management.
Service with a smile has a whole new meaning with the exceptional service provided by Rebecca, who went out of her way, not only to make certain that my friend and I had the best possible shoes in the most fashionable style that was the best for each of us, she stopped by to pick up a special order at a different store. Now that is over the top!
I will continue to shop at Kintec where the knowledgable and accommodating team of sport shoe experts willingly share their knowledge and expertise. it’s a consumer haven!
I had a great experience at Kintec yesterday! At first I was treated professionally by a fellow(don”t remember his name) who was very knowledgeable about my actual foot problem! I decided to go elsewhere to basically price check and see what other brands were out there. I wound up coming back to the Kintec store on McCallum in Abbotsford to try on a pair or two. I was introduced to “Kristina” who was to show me the various shoe types and to get me fitted as best as possible. Again I had very friendly service and she sold me some shoes that will hopefully cure my foot issues. I will recommend this place to any of my fellow postal carriers who rely on good footwear for their delivery jobs. Thankyou Kintec!
I got my first pair of orthotics last June, from the Maple Ridge store. The service was good and I even got a follow up phone call in the summer. I hate to be a complainer and told him that things were pretty good. I failed to tell him that if I wear them for a day my heels hurt quite a bit. My daughter in law Wendy says that if I told him, he probably could have done something to possibly fix it. I do regret that I did not let him know and am hoping that I get another call to see how they are now.
They seem like a real nice staff and are very helpful without being pushy.
thanks for your service

Hi Carol,
Thanks for taking the time to write on our blog; the same goes with everyone else who has posted! We really appreciate your feedback. It’s no bother at all, and we need (and want) to hear from you if this aren’t working so that we can assist. There is no magic pill when it comes to this, and while there is real science behind it, a bit of it is also trial and error (like much of medicine).
Someone from Kintec Maple Ridge will be in touch with you within 24 hours.
We look forward to seeing you again, and helping you out.
Hopefully this is the feedback link, although it doesn’t say that. In any case, I appreciated the thorough assessment provided by Philip at the North Vancouver store, and his recommendations that I use my existing shoes with various combinations of the regular insert, no insert and the Kinetic insert and record the effects on comfort and possible changes under these differing conditions to better establish the best way forward.
Thanks for your comments, Richard. If you are referring to the link at the bottom of your receipt, it is at http://www.kintec.net/feedback. Thanks so much!
Hi
I just wanted to say that I have purchased numerous items from the Maple Ridge store and each time was pleasantly attended to. I exchanged one pair of runners with no problems at all. Great customer service!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CHELSEY! I LIKE THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE THAT YOU WARE AT ALL TIMES. THANKS AGAIN. Helen Lohman
Thank you for the excellant service,from everyone at Kintec in the Maple Ridge store. Peter was very informative regarding the orthotics that I will be receiving on Thurs. It was also recommended that I purchase a pair of Birkenstock innersoles to put in other shoes. What a relief, they are wonderful. Thanks again!
thanks so much to theknowledgeable and caring staff at our maple ridge store; who took the time to assess what could be done to alleviate the pressure that my injured toe could not endure. they patiently stretched 4 pairs of my shoes until i could walkin them without constant pain
Great job Shirtina and Dennis at the PoMo location. Excellent service, as usual. And great determination with finding a pair of shoes for my teenage son.
Keep up the good work!

I had a great experience at Kintec. Ermin was very helpful and explained every step durning my appointment. The use of the camera and treadmill were intresting and helped me understand the reasons why I need orthotics. Thank you!
Jen at the Langley Kintec was most helpful and friendly in fitting me with an orthotic for drop foot. Very pleased with it and impressed with all you have to offer.
Great service from the Langley Store – both my husband and I have found Jen & Gabrielle very informative and always ready to help. We tell everyone we know how great the service is.
I have been having foot pain due to arthritis in my toes. I walked into my local Kintec store in Maple Ridge, and Conny knew exactly the right shoe for me. It was incredible. The pain in my foot eased as soon as I put on the shoes. Went for my 5 km hill walk and had no pain. Thank you, Conny, for your knowledge of the products Kintec carries and what would work for me.
