Cool Shoe Tool of the Week: Shoe Pops, An Inexpensive Fix for Crinkled and Wrinkled Shoes!
Shoe Pops! That’s right, just like a Popsicle for your shoe! Well, not exactly like a Popsicle (can you imagine what would happen if you put a frozen Popsicle in your shoe – just ask my son!). Shoe pops are kind of like shoe stretchers, but without the stretching part. They are great for keeping your shoes shapely, and wrinkle free, but they won’t stretch them. They are very inexpensive, compared to shoe stretchers, and are usually sold in sets so that you can protect a few pairs at once. They work great in high heels, sandals, pumps, you name it! If you have expensive shoes that you plan on using for many years, this is an important investment. Shoes, especially natural material shoes, like leather, suede, and, to a certain extent, plastics and vinyls, have a tendency to deteriorate when you are not wearing them.
When your foot is in a shoe, it keeps everything filled out, so there is no sagging which inevitably leads to crushing, creasing and wrinkling. And if you have experienced this before, then you know that once you have wrinkled leather, there is no going back, you simply can’t fix that problem. So, prevent it before it happens with a set of shoe pops. This set of shoe pops is very inexpensive, and comes in a set of four so you can take care of two pairs of shoes. When you take them out of the shoes, you can simply leave them in place of the shoes on your shoe rack so that you will remember to use it again when you get home. Another bonus of these tools is that they are very lightweight, so traveling is not a problem. They will keep your shoes free from crushing in your tightly packed suitcase.
