A tool (10) for removing undesirable material from footwear comprising a head (20); a handle (30) extending from a first end of the head (20), wherein an axis (50) of the handle lies in a plane (70); and a plurality of claw elements (40) protruding from the head (20) arranged in rows (41, 42, 43), wherein the rows (41, 42, 43) are spaced apart in a first direction from the first end (21) to a second end (22) of the head (20), wherein each claw element (40) has a tip (401) which is a portion of the claw element (40) furthest away from the head (20); wherein the claw elements (40) and the head (20) are arranged such that perpendicular distances (d1) between the tips (401) of the claw elements (40) in a first row (41) and the plane (70) are longer than perpendicular distances (d2) between the tips (401) of the claw elements (40) in a second row (42) and the plane (70), and the second row (42) is closer to the handle (30) than the first row (41) in the first direction.
