At Sneaker Pharm, their team is determined to give yours a fresh new chapter. With years of hands-on experience, they mastered the art of sneaker care by tackling every challenge head-on. 

We were blown away by their Premium Deep Clean service (£35), which left a pair of tired trainers looking like they’d just come out of the box. They also offer more specialised services like Football Boot Conversion (£230) for those looking to repurpose their favourite boots. 

And, if you can’t make it to the shop, their Door-to-Door Service (£15) means you can have your kicks picked up, pampered, and returned without leaving the house.

What really sets Sneaker Pharm apart is its dedication to solving every shoe care dilemma with precision and care. The team’s deep knowledge, combined with innovative techniques, ensures that every pair is handled like a masterpiece in need of restoration.

However, the shop’s growing popularity can sometimes mean longer wait times, so it’s worth planning ahead to avoid delays.

Fantastic!

From what we’ve seen, Timpson is like that reliable mate who’s always got your back, especially when your favourite pair of shoes is on its last leg. Walking into Timpson, you instantly get the sense that you’re in good hands. 

For anyone with boots or shoes needing a bit more attention, Timpson’s Rewelting Shoes service is a godsend. We saw the magic first-hand when they retweeted the edge of a pair of worn-out brogues. 

Now, if you’re one of those unlucky souls with a broken zip on your boots (it happens!), their Boot Zip Repair is a game-changer. We watched as they replaced a tricky zip on a friend’s motorcycle boots—good as new in no time! 

If your shoes need the full work, Timpson’s Shoe Restoration service is what you’re after. They’ll clean, stretch, and even dye your shoes to get them looking fresh again, all while making sure they keep their original charm.

Just be ready for a slightly longer wait during busy periods—it’s worth it for the quality.

Excellent!

“Shane is polite and professional. The service is excellent and they will do whatever they can to repair shoes.”

If you’re like us and find yourself staring down at your favourite pair of trainers that look like they’ve been through a marathon (and maybe a festival or two), Sneakerapy is about to become your new best mate. 

We’ve got to say, we were a bit sceptical about how they’d handle a particularly delicate pair of suede Nikes, but their high-quality products worked wonders. Using specialised cleaning agents, they managed to lift the dirt without a single sign of damage.

What we found particularly refreshing about Sneakerapy is their commitment to environmentally conscious practices. We’re all trying to do our bit for the planet, so knowing they use eco-friendly products and aim to minimise waste sealed the deal for us.

And if you’re someone who worries about leaving your prized possessions in someone else’s hands, rest assured—Sneakerapy is a registered business with Companies House, and their services are fully insured. 

That said, their premium services do come with a bit of a price tag. While it’s not the cheapest option out there, you’re definitely paying for quality.

The best!

“Best in the business, I gave him my nike air maxes that were finished and now they look brand new.”

At Blue Bee Sneaker Care & Customs, you can tell they’ve seen it all—scuffed leather, faded colours, torn straps—and yet, they somehow manage to make each pair feel like it’s brand new. 

Their Sneaker Restoration service is where they truly shine; from the moment you hand over your tired kicks, it’s like they’re taking on a project, not just a repair. Every scratch and stain is dealt with meticulously, and when they return them, it’s hard to believe they’re the same pair. 

We also love how straightforward they make the entire process. They take the time to explain their methods and shipping details and give you realistic timelines so you’re not left guessing. 

Naturally, all that attention to detail comes at a slight cost—sometimes, complex restorations can take a bit longer than expected. If you’re in a hurry, this might be something to keep in mind, but the quality of the final result makes the wait feel more than justified.

Amazing!

“I ruined my Givenchy shoes when I cleaned them. This guys brought them back to life. I can’t believe such an amazing job they have done!”

-Zuzana Oravcová, Google Review

Perfect!

“Great service, really friendly and attentive. Outstanding attention to detail, bought some AF1s and I am over the moon with them. Perfect.”

Nestled in Oldham Town Centre, Jacksons has been repairing shoes for years, and it’s clear they’ve mastered the art of bringing footwear back to life. 

They handle everything from high-end brands like Loakes and Barkers to your everyday walking boots. What stands out to us here is the speed and care with which they work; you’re not left hanging for days, Jacksons has a way of making sure you’ll be back on your feet in no time.

The fact that Jacksons handles everything from leather soles to key-cutting services for your home, padlocks, or even car remotes is a testament to their versatility. It’s not every day you find a place that can patch up your favourite boots and sort out your house keys all in one go.

Because they offer such quality work, prices for certain repairs—especially on high-end shoes—can be a little higher than you might expect. It’s a fair trade-off for excellent results, but it’s worth keeping in mind if you’re on a tighter budget.

Kind!

“The service is kind, and you don’t see manners like this anywhere else.”

Great service!

“Great service from this couple that owns the place!”
