Girl’s Thread On How To Remove Creases From Shoes Goes Viral And Other People Post The Before & After Results

Sometimes solutions come along to fix problems you never even knew you had. As a person who sees shoes as simply a means to protect my feet from the outside world, I assumed that creases, if I even noticed them, were just a natural part of a shoes’ life cycle. I mean, who cares, right?

Well, it turns out that plenty of people care. There is a whole world of shoe worship going on out there, and its not just your Jimmy Choos and Louboutins that have people getting moist between the toes. Limited edition sneakers from brands like Nike and Adidas have ‘sneakerheads‘ camping out in front of their stores for the next big ‘release,’ which otherwise perfectly rational people are ‘hyped’ to shell out hundreds, even thousands of dollars for. Capitalism, hey?

For sneakerheads and shoe fans in general, keeping your babies looking as new and fresh as possible is vitally important, so those creases must go. Entrepreneur and self-confessed sneaker connoisseur Shantel De Bonsu shared her genius hack on Twitter recently and people are sharing their impressive results.

The technique is as simple as it gets. You’ll need nothing more than something to stuff the show with; perhaps some old socks, newspaper or even tissue paper, a small towel, an iron and some hot water.

That’s a lot of fresh, non-creased footwear back on the streets! Do creases irritate you, or are they simply a sign of a well-worn and much-loved shoe? Would you try this hack?
