This spray is an invisible jacket for your shoes

My shoes notoriously get dirty, especially in the winter. I tend to walk everywhere, and the sidewalks of New York City typically aren’t very forgiving to my shoes. I had gotten used to spending hours scrubbing off stains of winter slush, dirt, you name it … until I discovered a spray that protects my shoes before they get dirty.

The Crep Protect Spray is just $16 on Amazon and has thousands of 5-star reviews. I grabbed it when I got a new pair of Ugg boots that I was determined not to ruin. All you have to do is douse your shoes in the spray, wait about an hour, then give them one more spritz for good measure. The spray goes on and dries completely clear, as if your shoes are wearing an invisible jacket. 

Since applying Crep Protect Spray, my shoes haven’t picked up any stains from the weather or water. It worked so well for my boots, I sprayed all of my shoes — sneakers, flats, even my slippers.
