You run a bar of soap down the inside of the crease, turn them back the right way out then press with hot iron and damp cotton tea towel, on the hanger for an hour or two to air - sorted. (@Methuselah )

You could always judge a man by the crease in his kecks, but the clincher was if he'd polished the heel of his shoes a brightly as the toe, a poorly polished heel means inattention to detail a general lacksadasical attitude...probably the sort of chap that goes through life trying to push doors marked pull.
