Vintage Trainers is built around the idea that quality footwear shouldn't end up in landfill. Matt explains how the company buys, restores and resells pre-loved trainers, helping extend the life of footwear while encouraging more sustainable shopping habits. The business focuses on cleaning, repairing and revitalising trainers so they can find a new home rather than being discarded.

Recorded at Shindig Festival 2026, this interview also looks at the festival community, memories from earlier Shindig events and the growing movement towards circular fashion. If you've ever wondered what goes into trainer restoration or how you can sell unwanted trainers for a second life, this conversation is packed with insights.
