🧰 What It Does For Your Kicks
Over time, the interior lining and insoles of your sneakers can pick up sock lint, stray fibers, and pilling that make them look worn and feel uncomfortable. A quick pass with a lint shaver trims away all of that fuzz, leaving the lining smooth and refreshed — no more little white lint balls clinging to your insoles.
We recommend this lint shaver, available now on Amazon:

💡 Bonus Pro Tips
✅ Suede Touch-Up: If your suede has become a little too shaggy, gently running the lint shaver over the surface can trim stray fibers and bring it back to a uniform nap.
✅ Frayed Mesh: If previous cleaning or heavy wear has left your mesh uppers fraying, a careful trim with the lint shaver can help clean up the look without damaging the material.
