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!

Step 1: 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.

Step 2: 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.

Step 3: Place the Shoe Trees Inside Both Shoes.

Place the shoe trees into the toe of the shoe. This will help with molding the shoe.

Step 4: Spray Some Water Onto Your Towel.

Lightly damp the small towel. Do not put too much water or else it may damage the shoe.

Step 5: Place the Towel Over the Shoe.

Place the damp towel over the toe of the shoe. Make sure the desired area is completely covered.

Step 6: 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.

Step 7: 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.

Step 8: You Are All Done!

Once the desired look is achieved, leave the cardboard tree guards in place. Those will prevent further creasing.
