How to Remove Scratches From Leather Shoes
Nothing is worse than having on a nice and neat outfit with a pair of scratched leather shoes. No matter what type of leather shoes you have, the scratches can be removed. The process is simple and will not ruin the leather item.
Materials Needed
- Cloth
- Permanent marker
- Microfiber cloths
- Shoe polish
- Find a flat surface to work on such as a table. Place a cloth over the area to protect the surface from the items you will be using.
- Place the shoe on top of the cloth and locate the scratches you will be removing. You will need to choose a permanent marker that is the same color as the shoe you are repairing. Make sure you only choose a permanent marker to remove the scratches.
- Take the marker and lightly trace the scratch. Make sure the marker gets inside the scratch. You do not want to put too much of the marker on the scratch because it will be visible.
- Immediately wipe the marker with a dry microfiber cloth. Make sure you rub the area well as soon as you apply the marker. Use back and forth motions to rub the marker into the scratch. Go back and forth a few times.
- Remove the lid from a tube of shoe polish. Go over the top of the scratch and around the area with the shoe polish. Apply the polish in a circular motion. Take a new microfiber cloth and rub the polish into the shoe. Use back and forth motions as you rub the polish in. Continue to rub the area until it shines.
