Scuffed RED shoes!

19 years ago

I have a pair of red shoes that are really comfortable and wearable...Problem is that the toes have scuff marks...Neutral polish ( and saddle soap) don't help...I need something "red" to work into the scuffs...Any suggestions?

Thanks!

they do make red polish...you need a shoe store to get it, though.

but my mom used to use lip stain (not regular lipstick, but the kind that actresses and uhm, 'dancers' wore- though I think they now make something for the regular market)

I've found that a bit of goo gone on a q-tip will take a lot of those black marks off without messing with the color of the leather (thankfully) but if you've marred the surface of the leather, a red sharpie followed by red polish should do it.

Cute little shoes! I have been enjoying making my own charms with stamps and silver clay. There is a brand you can fire with a torch instead of a kiln. You can get up to 20 charms from one package. I also like checking the clearance bracelets in Gabriel Brothers or Big Lots (or the Dots type stores) For a buck or two you can scavenge a decent number of charms! Karen

Muck Boots, I never thought I would like them. I received a pair of the shoe style for Christmas. Once I tried them I became a convert. I wear the every day when working outside. They are a little on the expensive side, but my feet are always comfortable and dry. I like that they are easy to slip on and off, yet they always stay in place when working.

ILoveRed yes its the kitchen with the bad cabinet guy. He was kicked to the curb and new cabinet guy fixed everything. All doors and drawers were taken back to his shop where he worked on them. Cabinet frames were all sanded down and redone. Original non matching putty dug out and replaced with a better match. Island trim redone by the trim guy at my request. It's getting there. Crown installed today and all pulls are on. Still waiting on doors for above hood and 2 sink front panels.
