Testimonials
--------------------------------------------------
- I love nice shoes, but I'm hard on them! -
- I had 8 pair of my shoes refurbed 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 been coming to Clayne at old style Shoe Shine for a little over a year now and he never disappoints! -
- Make no mistake, he's no airport shoe shiner, he really has mastered the craft. -
- He's also an all around great guy and makes my day each time I see him. -

- Simply put, Clayne and his team do outstanding work on all items that can be shined (belts, boots, briefcases, purses, etc.). They’ll even clean suede and sneakers for you too! -
- If you have a favorite pair of leather shoes, bring them in. Better yet, if you have a pair that you no longer wear because they’re dull and scuffed up… Don’t get rid of them. -
- Bring them in to Old Style Shoe Shine. People will think you bought a new pair! -

- 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.

- "I'm a big shoe guy. -
- I only buy cordovan Alden's or Allen Edmond's. -
- I love my shoes. I came to Seattle a week ago from New York and originally come from DC. -
- I have gone to a lot of shoe shiners and I have always found the same thing, people doing a cheap job to make a buck. -
- Now don't get me wrong some people can be nice and some not so much but no one has done shining as a passion, a true craft. -
- This spot is different. -
- I spent an hour getting my shoes shined and completely redone. -
- I asked all the normal questions which everyone else has failed to answer to test knowledge and saw the Saphir cleaning products which are the best in the world being used. -
- I will be taking all my shoes here from now on. -
- Its truly rare to find true craftsman who work to be perfect at their trade. This spot is that". -
