Find shoe restoration near you

Yes, all types of shoes, from leather to fabric, can be restored. The restoration process just depends on the type of shoes. Some shoes might require a quick wipe down with a damp cloth or would need a brush to remove dirt and other materials.  

Generally, repairing high-quality shoes with minor damage is worth it because it’s a very cost-effective way to extend their lifespan. Although, aside from the shoe’s quality, whether it’s really worth it or not depends largely on the extent of the damage, cost of repair, and personal attachment to the shoes. 

To restore shoes that are peeling, you can use a dry brush to remove debris, cut any curling edges, then use leather dye or a color-matching marker. It’s highly recommended though that you take any shoes that are peeling to a professional to restore. 

To prevent shoes from cracking or peeling, it’s important that you regularly clean them and store your shoes properly after wearing them. Also, be sure to rotate your shoes to prevent excessive wear on a single pair. 

Shoes can be restored within a day, but some more complicated restorations could take up to a week. 

Shoe restoration is the process of repairing, cleaning, and reviving worn or damaged shoes to extend their life and improve their appearance. It can include everything from polishing and reconditioning leather to replacing soles, stitching, or refinishing faded colors.

Most types of shoes can be restored, including leather dress shoes, boots, sneakers, heels, and designer footwear. Even heavily worn or vintage pairs can often be brought back to life with professional techniques and materials.

The cost of shoe restoration typically ranges from $30 to $100+, depending on the work needed. Basic cleaning and polishing are on the lower end, while services like sole replacement, leather dyeing, or structural repairs cost more.
