How the EXTRIM workshop works

Professional leather paint (USA)

Industry-standard acrylic for footwear restoration: flexible when applied in thin coats, with limits that depend on the existing surface.

Closest practical color match

Technicians mix pigments under neutral daylight to get as close as possible to the factory finish. Deep fade or old coatings can still shift the final tone.

FAQ

Answers based on real condition

Durability depends on walking surface, friction, and moisture. We use professional acrylic paint with flex additives and offer a 60-day peeling warranty for technical faults.

Thin coats (about 0.1mm) with flex-additive thinners keep most leathers flexible. Stiffness can still appear on dry or heavily prepped hides; we test a hidden spot first.

Restoration is a checklist: clean, glue, sole, condition, then color if needed. Repaint is color work after the substrate is stable. We do not default to painting every pair sent for restoration.

When leather is cracked through, mesh is rotten, foam has collapsed, or several line items would cost more than the shoe is worth. We list that before work starts.

We mix under daylight to get close. Deep fade or stacked old coatings can still shift the result. We flag likely mismatch before painting.

No. Bleach makes rubber brittle and yellowing often returns. The current option is a midsole repaint after inspection.

Keep the pair dry for the first 24 hours, wipe mud promptly, and avoid long direct sun. A care note is included at handover.

Yes, with a material check and hidden-spot test. Limits are stated before the full job.

“The sole had split in two — I thought the pair was done. They cleaned it and re-glued the sole better than expected. Worth every dong for a shoe that feels new again.”

“My old white Air Force 1s were impossible to clean. They came back cleaner than I hoped. Sneakerheads should try this.”

“My suede shoes had a small tear at the toe, and several other places refused to repair them because they were difficult to fix. This shop accepted them right away and said they would work carefully so the repair wouldn't show. When I got them back, I honestly couldn't tell the tear had ever been there, and the shoes feel more durable after the repair.”
