I've worn the same dress shoes to work for 2 wks in a row. They left a brown stain on my toe?

Question

How do I get it off? I have tried soaking it, scrubbing it with pumice stone, it won't come off!!

Answer 1

The big question is why have you been wearing the same dress shoes for two weeks in a row? I think you might need to buy some more shoes. Change it up a little. But as for the stain....try using exfoliating cream on your feet and then scrubbing.

Answer 2

It will come off eventually. Your skin sheds itself daily, so the stain should be gone in about a week. You don't want to scrub too much, or you'll scrub your skin off! ;)

To prevent it, your foot is probably getting sweaty, and that's transferring the dye from the shoe to your skin. Sprinkle the inside of the shoe with foot powder, this will absorb the moisture. Wear socks if possible.

Answer 3

Crush up aspirin in honey, put it on your toe and wrap in plastic wrap for a few minutes. Take off plastic wrap and scrub your toe.
You can also try alcohol, it usually takes anything off the skin.

FYI: For fashion and health reasons you should never wear the same pair of shoes that many days in a row.

Answer 4

Did you use shoe wax, that Kiwi stuff? If yeah, then you'll have to wait.

Answer 5

try nail polish remover
