Professional Sneaker Cleaning
Every sneaker is built differently, so we look at the materials before we start. Leather, suede, nubuck, canvas, knit and mesh each need their own approach. We clean the uppers, midsoles, outsoles and laces, and we treat stains one at a time instead of soaking the whole shoe. That protects glues, shapes and finishes, which a machine wash can damage.
Cleaning starts at $35. That's a starting price, adjusted once we see your pair.
Some pairs need more than a clean:
- Color touch-ups and repainting: covering scuffs and worn color on leather uppers.
- Suede and nubuck revival: lifting the nap and restoring color.
We'll be upfront about what can and can't be reversed. Some aging and material breakdown is permanent, and we'll tell you that before you pay for anything.
Because we're a full shoe repair shop, we can also fix problems that cleaning can't:
- Sole separation and re-gluing
- Worn outsoles (quoted after we see the pair)
- Loose stitching
Whether it's your daily runner or a limited release, each pair gets an assessment and an estimate before we touch it. For valuable pairs, we agree on the plan with you before we start, and you can ask as many questions as you like along the way.
