Comfortable shoes make you feel at ease. Favorite shoes boost your confidence.
Designer shoes spark desire, while limited editions are treasures for collectors.
Shoes are an essential part of everyday life—whether they’re comfortable, beloved, high-end, or collectible. No matter the type, once worn, they all require proper cleaning and care.

Canvas Shoes:
1.Check for signs of sole separation—most commonly found at flex points.
2.Once the sole separates, repairs often yield unsatisfactory results.
3.For canvas shoes with mixed materials, cleaning prices range from NT$200 to NT$250.
4.Toe cap and sidewall care:
a. Watch for yellowing caused by oxidation—cleaning may lighten it but won’t fully restore whiteness.
b. Smooth surfaces tend to lose paint more easily when scuffed, while rough surfaces retain color better.
c. Dyeing prices: Toe cap – NT$100, Sidewall – NT$200, Full shoe – NT$300.

Sneakers:
1.Pay special attention to mesh fabric stains and sole separation. Mesh areas are difficult to clean perfectly—best effort only.
2.Re-gluing soles may not always be successful, as different types of adhesives may not suit every shoe model.
3.Re-gluing price: NT$100–200

1.Sole separation in mesh shoes often only becomes visible when pressing the toe area. Also check for oxidation on the sole—oxidized foam midsoles may crumble and cannot be re-glued, requiring full sole replacement.
2.Sole replacement price: NT$800–1500

麂皮運動鞋:
1.一般要注意麂皮是否磨損、顏色對比、多種材質等,磨損地方清洗不起來。
2.顏色對比會有誤差會變淡。
3.清洗價格250-500元。

Suede Sneakers / Suede Shoes:
1.These often feature mixed materials (leather and fabric), so it’s important to watch for color transfer. Severe cases may require full dyeing; mild cases can be treated with spot dyeing.
2.The overall dye color must be darker than the original. After full dyeing, the surface may appear glossier, and the perceived color may differ slightly—customers will be informed in advance.
3.Full dyeing price: NT$600

1.Leather Shoes (Genuine or Faux):
Be aware of oxidation and cracking in the soles. Prolonged wear can also cause the leather upper to peel or crack.
2.Such damage is often irreparable.
3.Cleaning price: NT$200

Mid- and Tall-Length Suede or Velvet Boots:
1.Watch for oxidation on the outer surface and color inconsistencies between the inner and outer lining.
After cleaning, dark colors may lighten slightly, and light colors may appear whiter.
2.Cleaning price:
Mid-length suede/velvet boots: NT$300–400
3.Tall suede/velvet boots: NT$400–500

1.Over time, regular insoles tend to wear out, develop holes, come unglued, or fade. It’s recommended to replace them with leather insoles, latex insoles, half latex insoles, or PU insoles for better comfort and durability.
2.Wearing shoes for extended periods can cause unpleasant odors; replacing the insoles can help improve comfort while wearing them.
3.After wearing, place your shoes in a cool, well-ventilated area to air dry and keep them clean and dry.
4.When wearing new shoes with dark interiors, avoid wearing light-colored socks, as moisture may cause the socks to become stained by the shoe’s dye.
