Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make my shoes look brand new?
We aim for the best possible result based on condition and material. Restoration is best-effort, not a factory reset.
Are shoes cleaned by machine?
No. All shoes are cleaned by hand to protect structure and materials.
Is pickup and delivery included?
Yes, within serviceable areas. Slots are estimated time windows.
What if my shoes are very old?
Older shoes carry inherent risks. We inspect and proceed only if safe.
