regular house hold iron and yes its possible to burn and singe the leather do not keep the iron on for too long go over it for like 4 5 seconds and let it cool spray water on towel but be carefull not to over do it u will mess them up
na its cool ill take u step by step
1 clean shoe of all dirt dust after stuff the shoe until u see the creases go away
2 take your preheated iron that has been set to a little over half way u can aslos do it at full volume but be carefull not to leave the iron on the shoe too long... grab your spray bottle full of water and spray the shoe just a bit after grab your clean face towel and lay it on the toe box...spray the towel a few times grab the iron and go over it with some preasure a few times
3 afrer every time u are done going over the toe box take the towel off and let the stream rise off of shoe and repete steps until u feel u got most of the creases out ...keep in mind that u will still have minimal creases but wont be as bad as when u first started
4 after all that has been done the leather might look a little lighter than the rest of the shoe...dont worry! its normal u just took all the leathers moister out all u do is grab your leather cleaner protecter and dab some baby oil and rub...it will bring the leather back to normal u can aslo use the mixture of oil and leather cleaner after the whole restoration has been completed it leaves a nice glow to the leater ...hope this help out bro
if any one esle has any other ?s hit me up and i also would like to see some of your guys projects and or storys of useing all these techniques
