Wow, black Fluevogs, iguana leather... white scuff mark. Rubbing alcohol fixed them up in an instant with no damage to the boot. Fantastic. So relieved.

I am fairly annoyed! I just brought new $120 white boots, that I saved and saved for (I am only 15), and they already had scuff marks on them (can't take them back because they were marked down). I tried the nail polish remover, only a little near the heel and it has made it ten times worse!

I tried some nail polish remover and it worked. Then to get out the dirt I used some toothpaste which also works. Then your shoes look perfectly new again.

I tried the nail polish remover. It was amazing. I would have expected it to damage the shoes, but just the opposite happened. Just think of all the shoes I threw/gave away because I couldn't get the scuff marks out. Now I know. Thank you!

Nail polish remover worked for my white patent leather shoes too. I'd tried everything including wd40 - but this worked with no side-effects to the shoes.

Shoe repair said they could not do anything. I tried tooth paste and other stuff on my Athena Alexander patten leather sandals trying to get off scuff marks. Read this site and tried nail polish and yes it came off. I would of thought it would have ruined them but it worked! Thank you

The nail polish remover worked like magic on my leather shoes. The same would trash a synthetic material.

I tried using nail polish remover and they got worse. But then I tried tooth paste and that worked quite well.

I have used one of those scrubby sponges (like Mr. Clean brand) and the scuff marks disappear!

Target has their proprietory version of Mr. Clean erasers for less money. Ditto for Dollar General stores.

Request: Scuff Marks on White Leather Shoes

Archived on 05/21/2007

How do I remove scuff marks on children's white leather shoes and the rubber sole? J.G.

Answers:

RE: Scuff Marks on White Leather Shoes

I remember using fingernail polish remover on white shoes when I was younger. Use very little on a cotton swab or Q-tip and gently rub the black marks. They should rub off. NEVER do this on black patent it will not work. It leaves a bad dull smear. I hope this works for you! (06/24/2005)

RE: Scuff Marks on White Leather Shoes

I use rubbing alcohol. (06/25/2005)

RE: Scuff Marks on White Leather Shoes

Try using toothpaste. A white-colored toothpaste will work best. Squeeze some on a damp washcloth and rub the paste into the area containing the scuff marks. May take a little elbow grease to make the marks disappear, but the toothpaste has just enough abrasive in it to do the job. My mother used to use this on my white shoes when I was young.

Mr. Clean Magic eraser is great for getting out scuff marks. (07/10/2005)

Dear Connie, I took your advise in using fingernail polish remover on my white shoes and it works. You are a life saver. Thank you. (02/03/2006)

I tried the alcohol and it worked! The scuff marks came off instantly and it did not require scrubbing. Furthermore, it did not remove the color. Thank you Sara! (04/18/2006)
