I’m not a huge fan of crease protectors, but in their defense, if you find that a pair of your shoes happen to be too big they certainly help make your shoe fit a bit better.

[@Thelunarraptor]

Most shoes crumble or turn hard as a rock after about 10 years, especially if they have polyurethane in any capacity so it isn't too worthwhile to treat many shoes like investments unless its short term or you know the materials will hold up. While I understand not liking creases, I don't think its worth hurting your foot over something you can more often than not reduce significantly with a wet cloth and iron. Not to mention the side creases caused by the protectors can look far worse than regular natural creasing, creasing that often doesn't make shoes look all that bad. If you're trying to prevent creases you should only do it for yourself, If you do it for others you're failing because 99% of people don't give a shit, and the people who do are more often than not obnoxious and under 17 years old. Then there are those who do it to hold resell value, which is a stressful ass way to wear shoes.
