Woman's hack on how to get rid of creases on shoes goes viral

A woman's hack on how to get rid of creases on your shoes and make them look brand new has gone viral on Twitter.

YouTuber Shantel De Bonsu answered a question that many will have thought was just a fact of life.

Wear and tear on your shoes can create a certain worn look, but Shantel says this is easy to get rid of and they will look as good as the day you bought them.

Taking to her Twitter, @shanteldebonsu, account she posted a thread that included all the steps to get your trainers looking fresh.

She says:

Step 1: stuff your shoe with the socks/old clothes or tissue paper to the point where you can’t see the crease anymore and when you press on the top of the shoe it doesn’t move.

Step 2: wet your small towel or cloth with hot water, then squeeze the water out so it’s damp

Step 3: place your towel or cloth on top of the crease

Step 4: iron the towel or cloth with VIM but be sure to keep lifting the iron up or you’ll burn your shoe! Depending how bad the crease is determines the time in which it will take to get rid of the crease!

Some of her fans and followers tweeted the savvy fashionista with pictures of their freshly restored shoes, proving that her method really works.

One said: "This is the kind of content im looking for on this app."

Another said: "Omg I can't believe this worked! Thank you so much!!"

And another joked: "I need this but for my under eye."
