Sole Separation Restoration

$80 – $120

Restore the bond between a loose or separated sole and the upper through a meticulous reattachment process — failed adhesive removed, surfaces detailed and prepped, professional-grade bonding applied, sole precisely aligned, securely clamped and properly cured. Focused specifically on the sole-to-upper connection while preserving the sneaker's original construction and integrity. The pair rate is the better value, but a single sneaker can be restored when that's all that's needed.

Icy Sole Restoration

$140

Our most meticulous sole restoration, built for soles affected by years of oxidation, yellowing and discoloration. Each pair begins with careful preparation and a light exterior refresh before entering our specialized multi-stage process inside the Flo Restorations Icy Chamber™. The restoration is monitored over multiple days, gradually addressing oxidation and discoloration while prioritizing the structure, materials and integrity of the sneakers. Every stage — preparation, treatment, monitoring, finishing and final cleanup — is handled with patience and precision, and every pair receives the same level of craftsmanship. Once complete, each pair receives a final detailed finish and is placed inside the Sneaker Preservation Wrap™ at no additional charge. Available per pair only, so both sneakers receive consistent, balanced results.

Questions

Before you book.

How long does sneaker restoration take?

Please allow approximately one week for Sneaker Restoration services. You'll be notified the moment your pair is ready. If you need them sooner, add the Rush Service Fee ($25 per pair) for expedited turnaround and priority handling.

What's the difference between Standard and Signature restoration?

Standard Sneaker Restoration is the complete deep clean — full cleaning, steam treatment, lace refresh, insole disinfection, waterproofing protection and mink oil conditioning where applicable, at $75 per pair. Signature includes all of that plus paint touch-ups, color correction and full repainting when needed, at $100 per pair.

Can you fix yellowed icy soles?

Yes. Icy Sole Restoration is our most meticulous sole process, carried out over multiple days inside the Flo Restorations Icy Chamber to gradually address oxidation and discoloration while protecting the sneaker's structure and materials. It's $140 per pair, and the Sneaker Preservation Wrap is included.

Can you repair a sole that's separating from the shoe?

Yes. Sole Separation Restoration removes the failed adhesive, preps the surfaces, applies professional-grade bonding, aligns and clamps the sole and cures it properly. One sneaker is $80 and a full pair is $120.

Do you do sneaker cleaning as well as restoration?

Sneaker cleaning is included in every restoration we offer — the Standard Sneaker Restoration is the service most people mean when they search for professional sneaker cleaning near them.
