Shantel Dé Bonsu, who's also a YouTube personality, shared the hack in a Twitter thread that has since been retweeted over 130,000 at the time of writing this story.

"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," Shantel tweeted.

Next, you should soak the fabric with hot water. Drain it out so that it's damp. Then, use the damp cloth and place it over the creases.

She continued, "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!"

What the hell is VIM, you ask? It's a cleaning product. You can easily find its equivalent online or in supermarkets.

Now, before you start questioning the hack's effectiveness, there are successful attempts.

You know what they say: Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Good luck!
