Instructions:
1. Start by stuffing socks or the tissues/newspapers into your sneakers.
Stuff as much as possible and as tight as possible, till the creases become less visible.
2. Next step, lay the damp towel on the front part of the sneakers, with the creases.

3. Now take the iron box under max heat and iron on top of the towel, lifting the iron box in intervals to ensure the shoes do not get burned.
4. You can do this for about two minutes.
If you need to stuff more socks, do so and continue ironing, till you’re satisfied with the results.
5. Once you’re done ironing, (careful not to burn yourself and or your sneakers) remove the stuffing and voila! Your sneakers are as good as new!
