Tintin Shoes Clean — trainers, clothes and shoe cleaning

cleaning a pair

A workshop and a shop in one. They clean trainers, shoes and bags: we have taken pairs here several times and they come back looking new — washed, stains gone, no grey film on the sole. At 60–80,000₫ it is the best money you can spend on footwear in town; in Europe the same cleaning costs as much as a new pair. Da Lat needs it more than it sounds: it rains for half the year, the mountain tracks are clay, and white trainers stop being white within a week.

The other half of the business is retail: they sell trainers and clothes made for export to Europe, at Vietnamese prices. The clothing has a separate room on the first floor, and you cannot tell from below — from the street it looks like nothing but a shoe workshop.

Cần biết trước. Open Monday to Saturday 10:00–21:00 and Sunday until 19:00 — the hours are on the door. Phones 0379 829 594 and 0384 936 373. Besides cleaning they take bag repairs, re-dyeing and custom sneaker work, plus clothes and accessories. Cleaning a pair is 60–80,000₫; anything else is quoted from the state of the item. The clothes are upstairs: the staircase is inside, and you do not need to ask — just go up and look.
