Ian CheesemanI attended a co-worker’s party and was impressed (and low-key jealous) of his sneaker collection. They were proudly displayed on the wall of his living room in individual acrylic containers—stylish, colorful, and clean.
When I asked how many hours it takes him to clean his kicks, he laughed and said, “I let the pros handle it.” Then, he gave me the number of his guy—fast forward a couple of weeks, and I now have a pristine shoe collection without investing my precious time.
So, if you want your shoes to look brand new but don’t have time to DIY, here are the top shoe cleaning pros in Toronto.
How much does shoe cleaning cost in Toronto?
Shoe cleaning in Toronto usually costs between $15 and $125. Standard sneaks cost $15 to $50 for basic cleaning and deodorizing, while high-end designer sneakers can range from $60 to $125.
Leather shoes generally fall in the $25 to $60 range, depending on whether conditioning or polishing is needed.
Specialty materials like suede or nubuck may also cost more.
1. Spring Garden Shoe Cleaning & Restoration
Spring Garden Shoe Cleaning & Restoration has 20 years of experience bringing your suede, leather, and canvas shoes back to life.
They’re known for deep cleaning, where they clean the shoelaces, insoles, lining, and tackle scuffs, stains, and salt damage. Then, they finish with a full exterior shine for that out-of-the-box vibe.
Now, if your kicks are looking a little dull or discolored, they offer paint touch-ups and suede re-dyes to restore color and vibrance.
What’s cool is that if you’re not 100% happy, you can come back within 30 days, and they’ll make it right.
However, during busy seasons, turnaround times might be longer. So, if you’re looking for a rush job, you might need to go elsewhere.

2. The Sneakers Saver
The Sneakers Saver is another go-to spot for shoe cleaning in the city. In fact, it has over 100 reputable clients.
Their deep cleaning service includes tackling dirt, stains, and odors, giving your shoes a fresh start. Oxidation reversal and repainting are offered as well—perfect if your sneakers are starting to yellow or fade.
Delicate materials like suede and nubuck are taken good care of, and they even handle salt stains, scuffs, and general wear.
If you’re in a hurry, they offer Priority Deep Cleaning—with same-day, next-day, and two-day options available. And we love that they offer pickup and drop-off services within a 10km radius.
That said, they’re not very responsive. Sometimes, they take up to three whole days to answer a query.

3. Saviour Kicks
Saviour Kicks is a local shoe cleaning and restoration company that caters to over 1000 clients, with packages arriving from all over North America every week.
For a thorough job, go for their Full Deep Clean—a detailed clean of the uppers, midsoles, and laces. You can go deeper by adding cleaning for the sock lining, insoles, and undersoles.
They also offer scuff and stain removal, oxidation reversal, paint touch-up, and even minor repairs, making them a one-stop shop for cosmetic fixes and basic restorations.
If you need your shoes back in a hurry, their Priority Restoration Service has flexible same-day, one-day, and two-day options for an added fee.
Just keep in mind that their services can be a bit pricey.

4. Penny Loafers Shoe Shine Company Inc.
Penny Loafers Shoe Shine Company Inc. has locations at The Fairmont Royal York, First Canadian Place, and the TD Exchange Tower. These guys have been keeping shoes sharp since 1994.
We like that each shoe valet undergoes serious shoe shine and polish training because they believe that your footwear deserves a little luxury.
They also offer drop-off service and in-office service—they’ll show up with a portable shine station, so you and your colleagues can get a professional polish.
Plus, they’re available for events like conferences, product launches, trade shows, etc.
While the service quality is top-notch, we heard reports that some shoe attendants seemed bored or disinterested. A warmer welcome could really elevate the vibe.
Amazing OLD SCHOOL shoe shine!

5. Kick6ix
Launched in 2019, Kick6ix is conveniently located 2 minutes north of Yorkdale Mall and 2 minutes west of Wilson Subway Station.
They offer Regular and Deep Clean options that cover midsoles, uppers, and laces, and a deep wash for fabric and leather. And if your shoes need extra love, you can go for their High-End Clean and Deep Clean.
For a total overhaul, their Kick6ix Restoration service includes midsole repaints, leather or suede re-dyes, sole deoxidation, and even re-glueing. This is ideal if you have rare pairs you want to revive.
A rush option is also available—you can get your shoes cleaned in as little as 30 minutes for an extra $20. And their pickup and drop-off service? Completely free!
The only downside is their steep pricing.
So impressed with the service and quality of the cleaning
“So impressed with the service and quality of the clean on my shoes. I bought these shoes almost a decade ago. I wear them through the summer months and have never cleaned them. They look brand new, and hopefully, I will get another decade of wear. Also, the team there was extremely friendly, very courteous took great care of my shoes. They’re great. They’ll do an amazing job, absolutely worth the money. Thanks so much!!”
