If you’re a sneakerhead, you know how important it is to keep your kicks clean and fresh. But even with regular cleaning, your shoes are still vulnerable to wear and tear. That’s where Crep Protect comes in – their Crep Shields are a game changer when it comes to protecting your shoes from damage. In this article, we’ll show you how to put Crep Shields in shoes so you can keep your kicks looking brand new for longer.
Step-by-Step Guide
Before we get started, you’ll need to make sure you have the following:
- Crep Protect Crep Shields
- Clean shoes
- Scissors
Step 1: Cut the Crep Shield to Fit Your Shoe
Each Crep Shield comes in a universal size, so you’ll need to cut it to fit your specific shoe. Place the Crep Shield on the sole of your shoe and use scissors to trim it to the right size. Make sure to leave a little bit of extra space so you can tuck the edges into the sides of the shoe.
Step 2: Clean Your Shoes
Before you apply the Crep Shield, make sure your shoes are clean and dry. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove any dirt or debris from the surface of the shoe.
Step 3: Peel Off the Backing
Once your shoes are clean and dry, peel off the backing from the Crep Shield. Make sure to handle it carefully so you don’t accidentally fold or crease it.
Step 4: Apply the Crep Shield to Your Shoe
Place the Crep Shield onto the sole of your shoe, starting at the heel and smoothing it down towards the toe. Make sure to press it firmly into place so it sticks securely to the shoe.
Step 5: Tuck the Edges into the Sides of the Shoe
Once the Crep Shield is in place, tuck the edges into the sides of the shoe. This will help to keep it securely in place and prevent it from peeling up over time.
Step 6: Repeat for the Other Shoe
Repeat the process for the other shoe, making sure to cut the Crep Shield to fit properly and apply it securely to the sole of the shoe.
