Quick Answer
Creasing is a normal result of the upper flexing as you walk, particularly across the toe box of leather trainers.
Choose the right fit
A secure fit reduces excess movement. Trainers that are too large tend to fold more sharply with every step.
Store them properly
Use shoe trees, loosen the laces before taking trainers off and keep pairs away from direct heat.
