ID: 140242

Description: If your athletic shoes have creased toeboxes...

Steps:

1. Stuff the middle of the toebox with cloth such as: towel, socks, et cetera to original form.
2. Don't stuff the whole shoe with cloth, as you would need space for your hand in the next step.

3. Use another piece of cloth to cover the toebox.

4. Put one hand in the shoe and the other hand on the toebox.

5. Place the shoe on the edge of a hard surface.
6. Manually bend the shoe gently and slowly, start from the middle to the tip of the shoe.
7. As both of your hands are on the shoe, you can control the force you put on the shoe and the shape of the toebox.
8. Don't overbend the shoe as it could worsen the creasing.

9. Turn your hair dryer to the highest temperature mode.
10. Heat up the toebox and the sides of the shoes in circular motion.
11. Avoid heating one spot for too long as it can damage the material of the shoe.

12. Leave the shoes in open air for 1-2 hours.
