640.0. "WN lite - Scuff marks on summer heels" by 57445::NANCYZ () Mon Jun 12 1989 07:44

    Has anyone figured out a remedy for removing the scuff marks on
    the heels of light colored summer shoes?  I've used all the shoe
    care products, as well as Fantastic and have only succeeded in making
    these black marks more obvious.
    
    Has anyone found a product that will do the job and prolong the
    life of the shoes?

    I've always used toothpaste.  It works great removing scuff marks.

    Try nailpolish remover!  It works great.  I use it on my white shoes
    only.

    Since driving is the main source of scuff marks on the backs of
    shoes, I keep a "driving shoe" in the car.  It's easier to feel
    the accelerator and it saves the backs of my shoes.  (Good icebreaker
    too!  People wonder why I have one shoe in the car.)

    I tend to drive with my right shoe off, since that's the heel that I
    always ruined.
    
    For scuff marks, though, try a little (very diluted) SoftScrub on a
    sponge. It does work!

640.5can't think of the brand, but any will do....DEMING::GARDNERjustme....jacquiMon Jun 12 1989 21:026

    I have always used a little scouring powder and water on a 
    sponge to remove these marks....works well if you are gentle.

    Thanks for all the tips.  Tried the nail polish remover last night
    on several pairs of white heels and it did the trick - will try
    the softscrub on the off-whites tonight (whew, what an exciting
    after work life I lead...).
    
    Have to say that the toothpaste made 'em shine, but didn't take
    away the black marks.  Probably will never get cavities there, tho.
