Unlike white goods there is no organized aftersales. The available services are not professional & primitive. Professional Shoe Care In India Huge need for professional shoe care services. Footwear retail has flourished in India but there is a lack in quality & variety of professional shoe care in India. Shoes get dirty & they need to be cleaned professionally. No such service is available widely like garment laundries. Professional footwear repairs is a hugely untapped market in India. “The Shoe Laundry” being the pioneer in this field.
