Get Your Trainers Cleaned Through Instagram!

As much as you try, your trainers won’t give off the same ‘fresh out the box’ vibe after a few gigs or concerts. Or, perhaps you've donned a sporty outfit at a festival? If this is the case, they’re probably in need of a freshen up.

You may take one look at your most-worn pair of trainers and think they’ve gotten so bad, they’ve basically changed colour. The type of dirty where there’s no going back. HOLD UP – introducing trainer restoration services, currently trending on insta! If you’re not wanting to part with a particular pair, read on to find out more.

What are trainer restoration businesses on Instagram?

Save yourself the stress of hoping your trainers don’t come out 2 sizes too small after chucking them in the wash. Get yourself a professional who knows exactly what they’re doing.

These businesses specialise in restoring your trainers to their brand new, original state. Whether it’s a busted-up pair of Jordan’s or a grimy looking pair of Yeezy’s, the below businesses know just how to treat and repair any pair of creps.

Some work in local areas only, while others offer a national service. Take a look and check out some options…

TheCrepClinic

TheCrepClinic involves a team of clinicians that have a wide experience in repair, restoration and even customisation of all kinds of footwear. Working on several different materials, shoe types and brands, they have accumulated quite the knowledge base on keeping creps looking brand new.

They’re based in Newcastle, however, they operate on a national level. The way they work involves:

  • A chat about what service you’re after which is usually followed up with you sending over some snaps of your creps. This will help speed up the quote process as they’re able to work out what services you’ll need.
  • Post the trainers off.
  • Let the clinicians work their magic.
  • The newly replenished shoes are packaged up and sent back to you via post.

Take a look at their prices here.

CrissCreps 

CrissCreps is super new to the trainer restoration game, in contrast to TheCrepClinic. But if you’re running low on funds, you may find better prices with start-up companies as opposed to more established brands.

Local to the area of Cambridgeshire, this service offers 3 levels of cleaning:

  • Classic Clean
  • Premium Clean
  • Deep Clean
