Walking by a cleaners in my neighborhood and saw this. Kids/ people don't clean their own kicks anymore?
I’ve dropped off sneakers with my oxfords for work at the cleaners I go to. What I find funny is that the price for cleaning varies per pairs r of sneakers from $10-$35/pair, depending on the sneaker (for some reason 700s were the most expensive) but oxfords are all standard price. I’ll usually just spray a bunch of Crepe on the cleaned sneakers and I definitely notice they stay fresh for far longer after a professional cleaning than if I cleaned and Crepe’d them myself. I’m guessing good cleaners probably also apply some leather repellent and whatnot as well since it’s a professional job. Definitely worth it from time to time.
