Stop your jeans from bunching up in your boots
Use a thick hair elastic.
Put the hair elastic around your ankle to hold the hems of your pants in place, while being hidden from view inside your boot.
Your jeans will stay smooth.
Clean dirty white sneakers
Spray the sneakers generously with stain remover.
Remove the laces, and throw them and the shoes into the washing machine together with a half cup of borax. Run the machine on a hot cycle.
Your shoes will come out good as new.
Prevent slipping in your heels
Rub the bottoms of your shoes with sandpaper.
Then rub it with an emery board. This helps to create friction between the shoes and the floor, and prevent slipping.
Prevent creases in your sneakers
Remove the cardboard insert that came in your sneakers.
Cut off the toe portion of the insert.
Insert the cardboard into the toe of your sneaker.
This will help the sneakers keep their shape.
Relieve chafing from too-tight heels
Get some petroleum jelly.
Rub the petroleum jelly on your foot in the areas where the shoe is tightest.
Make clear heels fit better
Run a blowdryer on hot aimed at the clear plastic straps while the shoe is on your foot. The plastic will soften and mold to the shape of your foot.
Clean dirty shoes
Use a magic eraser sponge on the rubber parts of your shoe. All the stains and scuffs will come off.
Prevent pain from uncomfortable shoes
Use a piece of tape to hold your third and fourth toes together to relieve the pain.

-Dryer sheets are miracle workers to remove oders.
