Shoes are important. We cannot do without them. They are a fashion must-have but they also give the wearer problems.
Some shoes constantly scuff, some are so painful you cannot even wear them for too long, some are falling apart from too much wear,...the problems shoes can create are countless but we cannot do without them.
I own a certain pair of yellow patent mary jane shoe that constantly scuff when I wear them. I don't really know what the problem is all I know is that I magically have tons of brown scuff marks all along the inside of my heels and on the leather.
Well, it turns out that the best way to deal with scuff marks on patent leather is to use something you already have laying around - nail polish remover.
Be sure that the remover isn't highly colourful or too harsh like the regular cheap ones we have around. If the nail polish remover is too colourful, it may also put a tint on your patent leather (and be careful of any polish you may be wearing).
Put a small bit on a cotton ball and rub the scuffs you want to get rid. Really deep scuffs probably would not come off but this should remove any minor scuffs or discolourations.
If you notice that the shoes have lost a bit of their glossiness, the best solution is to use a bit of vaseline on the surface.
Your patent shoe is back to new.
