Creases that appear on leather shoes during wear spoil the appearance and make the image look careless. UAportal will tell you about effective methods of eliminating them.

Using leather conditioner

A small amount of leather conditioner should be applied to a clean cloth and gently rubbed into the creases in the shoes. It is important to let the conditioner soak in for a few minutes and then wipe off any excess. This moisturizes the leather and helps restore its natural oils, resulting in smoother, less creased leather.

Ironing with a damp cloth

For more stubborn creases, you can use a damp cloth and a clothes iron to gently remove creases from leather shoes. Start by lightly dampening a clean cloth and then place it over the creased area of the shoe. Set the iron to a low heat setting and gently press the fabric against the crumpled areas, being careful not to leave the iron in one place for too long.

Proper storage

Proper storage of leather shoes when not in use can also prevent creasing. It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture. Additionally, it is recommended to use shoe boxes or covers to protect them from dust and scratches.
