The good news: you don't have to settle for a shoe crease. You can make them disappear. Last updated: 27 February 2026 6 min read  Time Required 15 min Estimated Cost US$20 #### Supplies - Newspaper - Shoe polish or conditioner #### Tools - Iron - Cloth - Hairdryer - Shoe tree - Microwave-safe dish There is something special about a pristine pair of shoes. But maintaining that out-of-the-box appearance—[clean](https://www.nike.com/za/a/how-to-clean-shoes), no scuff marks, no creases—is a dirty job. Shoes belong on your feet. And when you wear your shoes, you're eventually going to crease or wrinkle them. The good news is that you don't have to settle for a shoe crease. Follow these hacks to make your shoe creases disappear. ## How to Remove Shoe Creases with Heat 1. # 1.Use an Iron  By far the most popular way to take a crease out of a shoe, using an iron is also the riskiest. There are two keys to using an iron: 1. Stuff the shoe so it maintains its shape, from the heel to the toe box. Packing the shoes as tight as possible will help straighten out the creases. Old paper, such as newspaper, works best, but cardboard or even a few of your socks are great backups as well. 2. Always use a buffer between the iron and the shoe. Putting a hot iron directly on your shoe can irreparably damage it. Don't burn your shoes! To use an iron, try the following: - Dampen a cloth, such as a flannel. - Lay it directly over the crease (it's OK to fold it over). - Turn your iron to its lowest temperature setting. - Iron over the cloth in 10-second increments. - Check the crease between intervals to avoid damage to the shoe. - When the crease has gone, stop ironing, but leave the shoe stuffed until it cools. Ironing a crease to remove it works thanks to the combination of heat and moisture, which softens the shoe material to stretch out the crease. The flannel diffuses the heat from the iron to keep the materials of your shoe safe from accidental scorch marks. This tactic works best on leather shoes. You can use it on suede shoes, but wring out the flannel as much as possible first. Water and suede aren't an ideal combination. 2. # 2.Steam Your Shoes This strategy works best on leather shoes and only requires a cloth, like a flannel or tea towel, and a microwave. 1. Wet the flannel or towel and wring it out so it's just damp. 2. Put it in a heat-resistant dish. 3. Heat it in the microwave, on high, for 30 seconds. 4. Rub the warm, steamy towel over the crease to heat up the leather. 5. Insert a shoe tree to keep your shoe's shape while it cools. You may have to heat up the towel more than once to get the job done. ## Follow These 5 Simple Steps -  1\. Wet the towel. -  2\. Put the towel in a microwaveable dish. -  3\. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. -  4\. Rub the damp towel on shoe creases. -  5\. Insert a shoe tree. 3. # 3.Try Blow-Drying  If you don't have an iron, a hairdryer can work as well, especially for leather shoes. To maintain the shape of the shoe while you're working, use cedar shoe trees. They won't get hot inside the shoe. To use a hairdryer: - Turn it on at the low heat setting. - Hold it 20–25cm away from the shoe. - Pass the hairdryer over the shoe a few times and then put it down. - With your finger, rub the warm leather up against the shoe tree. - Repeat as needed until the crease has gone. With this method, you should keep the shoe tree in place while the sneaker cools. Since you're applying direct heat to the shoe leather, it's a good idea to follow up this process with shoe polish or conditioner. Heat can dry out leather, and a conditioning treatment will ensure your sneakers look their best now that the crease or wrinkle has gone. ## How to Remove Shoe Creases without Heat Not every shoe crease solution requires heat. Heat has the potential to damage your shoe if you're not careful, and it's a little rougher on non-leather shoes. For this reason, you might want to try to remove the crease or wrinkle another way. Here are a couple of heatless options. 1. # 1.Condition Them  When it comes to leather sneakers, you can ditch the heat and use a special conditioner or oil to get out those creases. Before you begin, test the product on a small, discreet part of the shoe. You want to make sure there's no discolouration. You'll also need to polish/condition the entire shoe to keep up a consistent appearance. Apply the product to the entire shoe, spending a little extra time on the crease, massaging the oil/conditioner in. Once you've finished, you may want to pop in a shoe tree to maintain the shape of the shoe while it dries.  2. # 2.Invest in Shoe Trees  If you're going for a really simple strategy to get rid of that crease, you can use a shoe tree on its own. It may not work as fast, but stretching your shoe back to its natural shape with the help of a shoe tree can eliminate a crease. If you use cedar shoe trees, they'll pull double duty and [eliminate shoe odour](https://www.nike.com/za/a/how-to-remove-shoe-smell) as well. ## Popular Ways to Prevent Sneaker Creases __Buy new shoes.__ At risk of stating the obvious, one way to avoid the problem of creased shoes is to buy new ones! __Find shoes that fit.__ Make sure your shoes [fit properly](https://www.nike.com/za/a/best-shoes-for-wide-feet). Shoes that are too big crease more since there's extra space between the foot and the shoe. __Buy shoes made from quality materials.__ Quality matters when it comes to your shoes. Those made from lower-quality materials are more susceptible to creasing as well. ## Find a New Pair of Kicks [View All](https://www.nike.com/za/w/lifestyle-shoes-13jrmz5e1x6znik1zy7ok) - [Nike Ava Edge \ Men's Shoes \ __R 2 999,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/ava-edge-mens-shoes-cHeOZSix/IM1973-100) - [Nike Zoom Skylon 11 \ Shoes \ __R 2 599,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/zoom-skylon-11-shoes-elNvIP4s/IU1869-103) - [Nike Air Max 95 Older Bubble \ Men's Shoes \ __R 3 699,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/air-max-95-older-bubble-mens-shoes-pQsPILrL/IX0347-451) - [Nike P-6000 \ Men's Shoes \ __R 2 399,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/p-6000-mens-shoes-g87Q299f/IV6029-001) - [Nike Air Max Plus 3 \ Men's Shoes \ __R 3 699,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/air-max-plus-3-mens-shoes-7SKBLq/CW1417-100) - [Nike Air Force 1 '07 LV8 \ Men's Shoes \ __R 2 599,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/air-force-1-07-lv8-mens-shoes-7OBUnaCI/IV6028-100) - [Nike Calm 2.0 \ Men's Slides \ __R 999,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/calm-2-mens-slides-YqeSfegw/IB0183-401) - [Nike Air Max 90 Premium 'Scorpion' \ Men's Shoes \ __R 2 999,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/air-max-90-premium-scorpion-mens-shoes-6jaRwvyF/IQ9438-001) - [Nike P-6000 \ Shoe \ __R 2 399,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/p-6000-shoe-n1ClrW/CN0149-001) - [Nike Air Max Plus Premium 'Scorpion' \ Men's Shoes \ __R 3 699,95__](https://www.nike.com/za/t/air-max-plus-premium-scorpion-mens-shoes-H9aSRSzp/IM9624-001) ## All Shoes Crease Unfortunately, all shoes—sneakers, boots etc.—are probably going to crease at some point. That's because when you wear them, you move in them. The natural movement of your foot bends your shoe, causing it to crease over time. If your shoe didn't move with your foot, you'd be pretty uncomfortable. The movement causes the material in the shoe to compress, which can cause an unsightly crease or wrinkle. Leather, canvas, suede—they're all at risk. Take heart, a crease on any shoe is perfectly normal if you wear your [Nike sneakers](https://www.nike.com) enough.  ## Keeping Shoes Looking Like New Regularly [cleaning your shoes](https://www.nike.com/za/a/how-to-clean-white-shoes) and addressing creases as they appear are great ways to extend the life of your favourite sneakers. You'll also keep them looking like new for longer. That fresh, out-of-the-box look is what we all want, especially when you're rockin' that special pair, like your [Jordans](https://www.nike.com/za/w/jordan-37eef), that everyone is already envying. ## Shop for Nike Shoes [View All](https://www.nike.com/za/w/shoes-5e1x6znik1zy7ok) -
