Clayne knows exactly what he's doing and runs a smooth operation! He restored my 10 year old boots, replaced heels on another pair of boots, AND shortened a leather fanny pack belt. They all turned out wonderful and beautiful. He's knowledgable and experienced. I will certainly be back.

The day I got my dream boots, I discovered they were so slippery I didn't feel safe walking in them. Old Style Shoe Shine put grippy vibram soles and toe taps on them so seamlessly you'd never know they weren't original. The work is gorgeous, they were ready in only a couple weeks, and now I can wear these every day! The price was super reasonable for new soles and taps; I've already recommended Old Style to my friends and will be going through my closet to find any of my other shoes that need some highly-skilled love.

When I first moved to Seattle, the salt water destroyed my dress shoes and I thought I was going to have to toss them. Before I gave them to the shoe gods, I figured I would try this place out for one last chance at resuscitation. Old Style delivered, brought my shoes back to life and they now have a loyal customer!
