Box-Fresh - Crease Preventing Inserts
The BOX-FReSH Inserts are the top Crease Preventing Inserts on the market today. The inserts prevent creasing in the toebox of patent leather/leather sneakers. They are comfortable, and designed to work while you walk keeping your sneakers brand new longer. You can buy them online direct from Box Fresh at
We were skeptical when we first heard about these however equally intrigued as we've all suffered from toe box creasing especially with leather. The Protector model is one of the first we saw and it did the job but it's extreme rigidity made it slightly uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time although it should be said it gets the job done. It was designed to protect the most prized of shoes and wasn't meant for every day use and up until recently that was the best on the market, but now Box Fresh has released the Universal which is a much more pliable version with softer material being used. It fits are huge range of shoes easily and believe it or not is actually wearable for extended periods. With this model now available any reservations we previously had a quashed and we can confidently recommend the Universal insert to anyone who can't stand the ugly sight of a creased toebox!
They fit popular sneaker models including the Air Force 1, Air Jordan, Infiltrator, SB and other popular sneakers from Nike. And they fit Adidas Campus 2 and similar brands, as well as DC, Etnies, KSwiss and other popular brands.
Box Fresh also have a comparison gallery that demonstrates the inserts -
We also did our own comparison with some beaters we had in the office (picture above and below). You can see the immediate support the Box-Fresh inserts provide. Whilst we recommend you use the inserts way before your shoes get to this stage to stop creases from ever happening, it's still worth seeing the life they can bring back to kicks that need some love!
Thanks to the kind people at Box-Fresh, we have 10 promo packs to give away! Each pack contains 1 pair of the very wearable Universal which gets our vote from the available models, plus 1 pair of the Protector which is the tougher model for sneakers that you would rarely wear and require extra care in the form of strong support.
