Your shoes are worth more than your shirt. Nobody cleans them.
There's an odd gap in how people treat their wardrobe. A ₹2,000 shirt goes to the dry cleaner every few wears. A ₹12,000 pair of sneakers gets wiped with a wet cloth once a year and then thrown away when it looks tired.
The shoes didn't wear out. They just got dirty in a way a wet cloth can't fix, and a shoe that looks finished is usually a shoe that's about eighty minutes of proper work away from looking new.
That work is not complicated, but it is specific. A pair of white leather sneakers, a suede chukka and a mesh runner are three completely different materials with three completely different failure modes, and the single most common way footwear gets destroyed is someone treating all three the same, usually by putting them in a washing machine, which is the fastest way to delaminate a midsole and warp a heel counter permanently.
We've been cleaning shoes in Kolkata since 2017. Countless pairs cleaned . Every material handled by hand, by someone who knows which one it is.
What we actually do to a pair of shoes
Why shoes have a harder time here
Kolkata's humidity means shoes rarely dry completely between wears. Sweat trapped in the lining creates the perfect environment for bacteria, the real cause of shoe odour. Deodorisers only mask the smell without removing the source.
The monsoon makes things worse. Once floodwater gets inside a shoe, leather can harden and crack if dried incorrectly, while road dust and construction debris settle deep into seams and sole treads.
A quick wipe cleans the surface, but only professional shoe cleaning removes deep-set dirt, bacteria, and contaminants while helping extend the life of your footwear.
Before and after photos on every pair, photographed on arrival and before delivery. Every pair. It's how we hold ourselves accountable and it's how you know what you got.
Creasing in the toe box is permanent, it's a fold in the leather, not dirt. Sole separation is a repair, not a clean.
It delaminates midsoles, warps heel counters and destroys knit uppers. Everything is by hand.
Distressed shoes stay distressed. Vintage stays vintage. If a pair is meant to look worn, we clean it without erasing what makes it what it is

Shoe cleaning FAQs
How much does shoe cleaning cost in Kolkata?
₹420 for sneakers, sports shoes and loafers. ₹480 for boots. ₹720 for luxury and designer footwear. Doorstep pickup, cleaning, deodorising, conditioning and delivery are all included.
How long does shoe cleaning take?
3–5 days. Most of that is controlled drying and shoes have to dry slowly at ambient temperature to keep their shape and avoid cracking the leather. It cannot be safely rushed.
Can you clean white sneakers and remove the yellowing?
Yes, and they're two separate jobs. The upper is cleaned by material type; the yellowed midsole is oxidised rubber and needs a controlled de-yellowing treatment, not scrubbing. Most white midsoles respond well. We'll tell you at inspection whether yours is a good candidate.
Can you clean suede shoes?
Yes. Suede is handled dry first, eraser, brass brush, nap lifting and because water on suede leaves a permanent tide line. Wet methods only where the material demands it, always with protectant afterwards.
Can I just put my shoes in the washing machine?
Please don't. Machine agitation delaminates the midsole from the upper, warps the heel counter, and destroys knit and mesh. It's the most common way shoes are ruined and it isn't reversible.
What types of shoes can you clean?
Leather, suede, nubuck, canvas, knit, mesh, patent and synthetic. Sneakers, formals, loafers, boots, sports shoes, luxury footwear and ethnic footwear. If you're not sure, send us a photo on WhatsApp.
Is the cleaning process safe for my shoes?
Yes. Everything is by hand, matched to the material, dried at ambient temperature. The risks in shoe cleaning come from machines and heat, and we use neither. We photograph every pair before and after.
Can you remove shoe odour?
Yes. Odour is bacteria living in the sweat absorbed by the lining and insole, so the treatment is antimicrobial, applied to the interior, not a spray on top. That's why it lasts.
Do you clean luxury shoes?
Yes, ₹720. Individually assessed, hand finished, photographed at every stage.
Will you fix scuffs, creases and sole damage?
Scuffs, usually. Creases, no that's a permanent fold in the material, not dirt, and anyone claiming to remove creasing is claiming something that isn't possible. Sole separation is a repair rather than a clean
