Re-icing
What does it include?
Our Re-icing Restoration Service includes:
- Standard cleaning service
to prepare the shoes for the restoration work. Cleaning includes: cleaning of uppers, midsoles, outersoles, laces, insoles, removal of minor scuffs and stains, disinfecting and deodorizing.
- Restoration service: This service is focused on de-yellowing for clear soles which is also referred to as re-icing. Some soles will turn yellow. It's a natural process called oxidation that results from the sneaker's exposure to air. Even if you've never used the shoes, this process is hard to prevent. But we can try to reverse it!
Re-icing services do not include sole re-painting, re-glue, swap or any repair to the uppers or insides of the shoe.
Is this the right service for you?
Soles are paramount to the look and performance
of your shoes. Sole work will not only give your shoes a fresh appearance but also prolong their life!
Keep in mind re-icing is not an exact science and results will vary depending on the age and condition of the shoe.

Re-icing Restoration Service
This service is designed to bring your soles back to life. The yellowing on your soles might not be dirt but the result of oxidation, a chemical reaction that causes some materials to turn yellow. It cannot be removed with cleaning but it may be reversed with our re-icing restoration.
Important Information about De-yellowing and Re-icing
De-yellowing and re-icing are not exact sciences. Results will vary depending on the age and condition of your shoes.
Make sure to inspect the complete outsole. If the outsole is loose anywhere, please let us know, as this may affect our ability to complete the service.
Too far gone 🫣
We love all shoes, but in cases like this, we have to be honest and say: yours deserve a rest.
Looking good! 😏
Older and more worn pairs will not always lose 100% of the yellowing but you will see a significant improvement.
Back to life 😎
Less worn pairs yield the best results. The lesson here: send your shoes before it's too late!
