Tell me if this sounds familiar: you finally bought that perfect pair of sneakers or boots, wore them once or twice… and suddenly, creases everywhere 😩

Like why do nice shoes wrinkle so fast?! I used to think it was just part of wearing them, but guess what? There's a super simple way to keep them looking fresh — and I've been doing it ever since. Let me show you how I store my shoes to stop creases for good 🙌

Creases? It's not just wear and tear 🚫

Before I learned better, I would just kick my shoes off at the end of the day and leave them by the door. Over time, the toes sagged, the sides folded, and even brand-new pairs started to look old. What I didn't realize is: how you store your shoes matters as much as how you wear them.

When shoes aren't supported inside, the material softens and folds in on itself — that's how those annoying creases form. 😮

My easy go-to trick 🎯

Now whenever I take my shoes off, I pop in a shoe shaper or even a rolled-up pair of socks. Yup, that's it. If you don't have a proper shoe tree, just stuff your shoes with clean socks, old t-shirts, or bubble wrap.

The goal? Fill out the inside so the toe box and heel keep their shape. Bonus: it also keeps away that weird, collapsed look.

Don't forget how you place them! 🧼

Storing your shoes upright on a shelf or in a box helps too. Avoid piling them up or throwing them in a corner (guilty 🙋‍♀️). If you have a shoe rack, great! If not, even lining them up neatly on the floor with something inside works wonders.

Oh, and if you're into displaying your kicks — clear storage boxes make everything look extra clean and organized. Game changer for my closet!

It's really that simple 🤯

Since I started doing this, even my older sneakers look 10x better. They hold their shape, feel more structured when I wear them, and I don't get that annoying crease right over the toe. It takes literally 10 seconds, but the difference is wild.
