I had a white leather sneaker and an air max light that both had stitching that pulled apart at the seam on the top of the toe box, creating a hole. Amando's did a great job on both, I cant even tell the shoes ever had any damage.

I brought in my sneaker because the glue from the sole had come off after I tried to wash them. Armando fixed it in less than a day

Got my brand new Nike Roshe's dirty with some dark dirt/grease and now they are perfect. What ever you do, do not clean them yourself first, you will most likely push the dirt in and make everything worse
