Scuff marks on black shiny leather shoes What can you do about it?First, you can consciously modify your walking and sitting style to eliminate the scuffing though that's easier said than done, in my experience. Second, you can shine your shoes christian louboutin mens espadrilles every now and then to make them shiny again.The shoe shine is becoming a lost art, sadly.But shining/polishing your shoes will make the leather last longer and look better.It's easy, and can be a somewhat"Zen"Activity, actually.

Posted by jekporkins at 10:22 AM on January 2, 2006 I'm assuming you have patent leather shoes(Leather coated with polyurethane, a shiny plasticky look that you can almost see yourself in).Googling for"Patent leather scuffs"Will assist you. Mostly they scuff when your shoes touch each other.Walk carefully so this doesn't happen.Windex and a paper towel may work.If windex doesn't work, there are more aggressive repairs such as clear nail polish to restore the shine.I think kiwi has a patent leather restoring liquid too. You can't polish patent leather don't try any sort of regular shoe polish on it.Treat as plastic, not leather. One reason why regular leather + shoe polish shoes are still around is that they don't scuff and are easy to repolish.

Then take the larger, rectangular buffing brush, and brush briskly and with medium pressure back and forth.There will be some resistance at first, which will decrease as the wax smooths out.Decrease the brushing pressure slightly.Keep at it until you have a nice sheen all over. Do the above twice if it's a new pair of christian louboutin shoes. For touchups, you can apply wax or not often you just need a minute with the brush to restore an excellent shine, if the shoes haven't been treated too badly since the last wax application.
