I spent 200 bucks on a pair of shoes and they had scuffs. The nail polish remover worked instantly! I'm so happy! Thank you so much.

Yay! It worked great. Use very little nail polish remover though. Don't use too much.

I bought an adorable pair of any black and white pumps and before I even got a chance to wear them out I got an ugly black scuff mark on the white part. I didn't have any nail polish remover but I tried a Mr. Clean magic eraser and it got it out. You have to scrub for about five minutes and clean it off with a little water and dry it afterwards but it got the scuff right out! Thanks for the tip!

OMG! I had borrowed yellow patent gogo boots for Halloween from my sister's friend and they were covered in black scuff marks after wearing them. The nail polish worked instantly. Thank you!

Nail polish remover works perfectly. But be sure to use a small amount in a circular motion with a q-tip. If the area becomes dull, retouch that area with a very small amount of WD-40. Works like magic!

Don't use nail polish remover on serious scuffs! The continuous rubbing will rub off the shine and leave a huge dull spot. I ruined some very pricey shoes this way. Also most shoe repair shops can get the scuffs off for about $5 and your shoes stay shiny!

Nail polish remover! Let it sit for a second and scrub with a Q-tip. It removes scuffs hands down better than any other method.

Solution for a scuff mark on a red shoe = simple pencil eraser.
Trust me it works. It was my friends shoe and I was desperate. Just 5 min of deep erasing.

I tried the nail polish on some lime green man made leather boots. You have to use it lightly and it works like a charm. Be blessed!

If you're trying to clean scuff marks off those cute new candy apple red shoes (those ones that are shiny and made of plaistic) don't use the nail polish remover, I tried it and it took off the finish in the area where the nail polish remover touched i

After trying everything I could think of, I went on line to see if possibly someone could help. At first I tried the "hairspray" but it did not work for me. Then I tried the "nail polish remover"...worked like a charm!! In five seconds all scuff marks were off of the aqua shoes and they looked like new. Thanks, gcowart

Acetone (a large component in most nail polish removers) is pretty much a household miracle solvent, and, among many other uses, works great on scuff marks on shoes.

You can erase black scuff marks off linoleum by rubbing the spot with the heel of the same shoe, so maybe it will work on your red shoe also!

Remove scuff marks from back of heels with hair spray; wipe with soft rag while still damp/wet.
