Crep Protect Cure Kit

Crep Protect is a familiar name in the sneaker world and their Cure Kit remains popular in 2025. It includes solution, a brush and a cloth. It works well on leather and canvas but can be more expensive than Sneaky.

How to use:

Jason Markk Essential Kit

Jason Markk is one of the longest-standing sneaker care brands. Their Essential Kit comes with a 4oz cleaning solution and a standard brush. It is gentle and effective but does not include cloths or additional accessories. Customers often need to buy extras separately.

How to use:

Reshoevn8r Cleaning Kit

Sneaky Cleaner Pro

For those who want professional-level results, the Sneaky Cleaner Pro is the advanced version of the standard kit. It produces more foam for deeper cleans and works on tougher stains while still being safe for delicate uppers. Unlike some competitors, it is designed in the UK and priced competitively.

How to use:

  1. Follow the same process as the Cleaner Kit, applying more foam and scrubbing slightly longer for stubborn marks.
