Shoe accessories - what you will find here
This is a short but focused category: three items that have one job - keeping sneakers in a condition close to the one in which they left the box. They are anti-crease protect shields in size S and in size L, both at 24,99 zł, and a protective film for shoe soles at 49,99 zł. So prices range from 24,99 zł to 49,99 zł. These are things you buy once, and the difference shows after a few months of wear.
Anti-crease inserts - why use them
Creases at the front of a shoe form where the foot bends with every step. The softer the upper and the more room in the shoe, the faster this turns into a permanent groove that can no longer be straightened. An anti-crease insert fills the space above the toes and spreads the bending over a larger surface, so the material folds more shallowly. It makes the most sense in smooth full-grain leather, that is, where the creases are most visible - in the classic silhouettes from the Shoes category.
Size S or L
The inserts come in two sizes and both cost the same, so the choice depends only on how big your shoe is. The rule is simple: smaller sizes take the S version, larger ones the L version, and at a borderline size it is better to match the insert to your actual foot length than to the number on the label, because the same number means a different interior length at different brands. If you are not sure, measure your foot in centimetres, compare the result with the size chart and check it against the range given with the insert. The insert should fill the front of the shoe without stretching the upper - if you have to force it in, it is too big.
Protective film for soles
The film covers the underside of the shoe and takes on the marks that would otherwise stay on the sole: scuffs from concrete, ground-in dust, dark streaks on light rubber. It is a solution for collector's pairs, where an unworn sole affects how the shoe looks and how it is rated at later resale. We describe how to apply it on the product page.

Questions about shoe accessories
Do anti-crease inserts remove existing creases?
No. The insert works preventively - it fills the front of the shoe and makes the material fold more shallowly when bending. Grooves that have already formed in the leather will remain, although a shoe with an insert keeps its shape better than an empty one.
S or L - which version should I choose?
The choice depends on the length of the shoe, not on the model. Smaller sizes take S, larger ones L; at a borderline size go by your actual foot length, because the same number on the label means a different interior length at different brands. The insert should fill the front of the shoe without stretching the upper.
Do you wear the insert in the shoe every day?
No, it is a storage item. You put it in when the shoe sits in the wardrobe or in the box, and take it out before putting the shoe on. That way the upper does not collapse under its own weight between wears.
Which shoes does the sole film fit?
The film is designed for the underside of footwear and is most often used on collector's pairs, where you care about an unworn sole. We give the range of fit and the method of application on the product page, so check it before ordering.
