I had written off my Chicagos. Grey leather, filthy midsole, the lot. They came back looking like a retro release I had not opened yet.
Marcus D.via Google
First shop I trusted with my designer pair. They knew exactly which products were safe for the material.
Priya S.via Google
Dropped off Friday, had them back Tuesday, wore them Tuesday night. That is the review.
Danny O.via Google
My soles were completely yellow. They came back icy and the rest of the shoe looked brand new too.
