DR.SNEAKERS:

A Step Towards a Cleaner and Kinder World

At Dr. Sneakers, we noticed a growing issue in Australia—many people discard their shoes because the cost of cleaning or repairing them often approaches the price of buying new ones. This cycle of waste not only impacts the environment but also feeds into the throwaway culture that contributes to landfills overflowing with usable goods. We knew something had to change.

That’s why Dr. Sneakers was founded, with a mission to make shoe cleaning affordable, accessible, and convenient. We believe every pair of shoes has a story to tell and a second life to live. By offering high-quality shoe cleaning and repair services at reasonable prices, we help people take care of their footwear instead of throwing it away. In turn, we reduce waste and encourage a more sustainable, conscious lifestyle.

But our commitment doesn’t stop at sustainability. We also run a charity program for those who feel it’s time to part with their shoes. Rather than tossing them out, they can donate them to us. We’ll clean and repair these shoes, then gift them to people in need, including the homeless. It’s our way of making a positive impact on both the environment and the community.

As we expand with more drop-off points across multiple locations, we are making it easier for our clients to choose sustainability and give back to society.
