How to Renew Faux Leather Tennis Shoes
I will teach you how to make your kicks look brand new again with these quick and easy steps!
Gather Your Supplies.
First, you want to gather the needed supplies. You will need an iron, spray bottle, cardboard shoe trees, a small towel, and the shoes you're going to work on.
Plug the Iron Up.
Plug the iron into the outlet and set it to low heat. This ensures that you won't cause damage to the shoes.
Place the Shoe Trees Inside Both Shoes.
Place the shoe trees into the toe of the shoe. This will help with molding the shoe.
Spray Some Water Onto Your Towel.
Lightly damp the small towel. Do not put too much water or else it may damage the shoe.
Place the Towel Over the Shoe.
Place the damp towel over the toe of the shoe. Make sure the desired area is completely covered.
Place the Iron on Top of the Damp Towel.
Place the iron over the towel for 10-15 seconds. Do not leave the iron sitting on the towel. This may burn the shoe.
Lightly Iron Over the Desired Area.
Make sure to continously check the shoe for damage. Do this step as many times as needed until the creases are gone.
You Are All Done!
Once the desired look is achieved, leave the cardboard tree guards in place. Those will prevent further creasing.
