- There is no one close to Clayne in terms of talent and expertise. And a great personality to boot, no pun intended. Thank you Clayne. -

- Old Style Shoe Shine is the best place to get your shoes shined in downtown Seattle. Clayne has shined my shoes, repaired my boots, and resoled shoes for me. The service is great. I highly recommend. -

- 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 knowledgeable 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. -

- This is my first encounter will a full service shoe shine and repair. Exceptional personal service and attention to detail, and a loyalty program to top it off. -
- Their work is outstanding!! The shine far exceeds what I did in the military. I give them my highest recommendation. -

- I love nice shoes, but I'm hard on them! -
- I had 8 pair of my shoes refurbished and I'm so happy with the work Clayne and his team did! -
- Especially my favorite Rebecca Minkoff "LOVE" loafers... the blush pink suede needed a good cleaning and new soles;
I'd worn a HOLE in the bottom of the leather soles! -
- I am excited to be able to wear them again soon I had another pair of Kate Spade wedges resoled and a few Italian leather booties needed a good shine and heel-tips. -
- Instead of buying another pair of shoes, I gave 8 of my favorites that are already comfy a bit of love for basically the same price as a new designer pair. -
- Win! -
- Clayne will take great care of your favorite, quality leather shoes and handbags. -
- Couldn't be happier! -

- Brought in a few pairs of scuffed up boots and Clayne was very friendly and knowledgeable, he assessed all the boots and gave great recommendations. -
- Got suede cleaning/waterproofing on two pairs and a pair of leather hiking boots needed a leak fixed and shoeshine. -
- All boots were returned in fantastic condition, am most impressed by the great work on the leather boots that look better than brand new. -
- Highly recommend Clayne for his friendly and expert service. -

- I've never had my shoes shined before but Clayne explained the process and the waxes he uses, and they're pretty high quality from what I've seen from my research online. -
- It's quite fun to sit in the chair and chat too if you have time for it, I'm glad a place like this exists! -

- After searching high and low for a cobbler in Seattle, I was so happy to find Old Style Shoe Shine tucked away in downtown! -
- Clayne is great - he assessed the boots I wanted resoled, we discussed material options, my limited timeline (I was hoping to get them done in about 2 weeks or less due to the upcoming thanksgiving break) and price points and I felt like he really listened and provided a good range of options. -
- I paid upfront via credit card and received a text confirmation and receipt which was super nice so I didn't have to worry about losing my ticket. -
- Happily, the boots were done a whole week early and I popped by to pick them up. -
- The whole exercise was super easy and I'm very happy with the new soles and the polish job they did on my boots. I'll be back! -

- A lot of people do a reasonable job shining shoes, but these guys are master craftsmen that take pride in their work. They also do an excellent job with shoe repair to the extent that I have brought my shoes down from Bellingham on more than one occasion to be properly mended.
