Your BED|STÜ's have weathered many miles with you, and the years of wear are starting to show. Now you've come to the all-too-familiar crossroads — do you toss them, or do you put them in the back of your closet where they will never see the light of day?
Welcome to our Rescue Program
Keep your favorite items going for years to come by restoring them to their original condition by giving them to the same skilled craftsman who originally made them.
Our mission is to ensure our products can last a lifetime. And as part of that mission, we have spent years refining and testing ourselves to hit a higher and higher standard in repair and restoration techniques. There are many places that claim they can revive your products to the original condition, but all too often they outsource that work to another group who may or may not have the right parts and materials… Not to mention the knowledge and skills.
We are the real deal. Our dedicated employees help ensure our product stay out of landfills and in your life for years to come.

Disclaimers & Notices
If you know that your items are over 5 years old AND/OR have been repaired by another repair shop, please submit a custom quote instead of selecting a package. If, after you've purchased a package and sent your items in for rescue, we deem them unrepairable, we will contact you to determine what you would like to do. We can return/ship the items back to you or recycle or donate them to keep them out of a landfill. Please note that certain items may not be eligible for retouching or refinishing to their original colors or finishes, such as our Tie Dyes or Lux Finishes. Feel free to contact us with the specifics of your items so that we can give you a better idea of what to expect. Please do not send your items in without choosing a package/service from the website and using the label provided to you to ship. We are not responsible for lost items shipped outside of the BED|STÜ Rescue Program.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
This depends on what kind of item it is, and how much needs to be repaired. You should expect to wait about 6-8 weeks (from when your item(s) arrive at our facility) for the repair to be completed and the item(s) sent back to you. For any individual or specific repair requests, the time frame will depend on the request, but should generally be no more than a 6-week turnaround.
-
The work we perform will remain under warranty for 90 days. Please note that this warranty is only applicable for components that were specifically repaired in our shop, and does not cover existing wear and tear unrelated to the repair process nor repairs done through other shops. For example, if you receive resoling services and the sole begins to separate from the upper within 90 days, we're happy to bring your shoes back in for re-evaluation. If you have specific questions about what is covered under our repair warranty, feel free to send us an email with a description and photos of the issue to help@bedstu.com.
-
As of now, we can only repair items made by BED|STÜ, but we are working towards being able to accept other brands as well. We use original parts and materials whenever possible. Due to their constructions, BED|STÜ Workshop items may only be eligible for limited repairs. Please reach out to our repair team with any questions about the viability of a repair request.
-
This depends on how and when the item was made and the level of wear, but we should be able to accommodate most repairs. If you have questions about whether your specific style can be repaired, please contact our customer care team at help@bedstu.com.
-
Footwear with cracked insoles/lasting boards (normally not visible to the naked eye), as well as items with torn, cracked, and/or excessively worn/weather-damaged leather usually cannot be repaired. If you are unsure about whether your item(s) can be repaired by our Rescue team, please reach out to our customer care team at help@bedstu.com.
-
There may be specific cases where we are unable to repair footwear that has been repaired by another cobbler or repair shop, subject to how the previous repair was done. We advise all customers interested in our services to call or email with specifics relating to previous repairs or excessive wear.
-
Yes, we can re-dye or touch up most items, depending on the color and finish on them. Certain specialty colors or finishes may not be eligible for their original dyeing or finishing. Please feel free to reach out to us with the specifics on your item(s) so we can give you a better idea of what to expect.
-
Shipping (both ways) is included as part of our Rescue Program. Upon order completion, we will send you a shipping label to send in your repair. Please do NOT use your own label to send in your repairs. Remember to remove any non-original laces or footbeds you would like to keep, and any other personal items before sending your item(s) in to our repair shop. We are unable to return any of these items and will not be responsible for loss if they are left with your item(s) upon arrival at our shop.
-
If we determine that your item(s) cannot be repaired for any reason, we will contact you to see how you would like to proceed. We can send them back to you or recycle them, depending on your preference. You will also receive a refund for any balance paid in advance for the Rescue service.
-
This treatment protects against light exposure to water. It does NOT waterproof your items and will not protect against general water damage. To keep your shoes, boots, or bags in pristine condition, we advise that you keep them away from water and other liquids, as sealing does not protect the leather from warping, shrinkage, or other damage caused by excess exposure to liquids.
