Scuff marks on white trainers

mattyj1085 · 15 Apr 2009 at 12:21

I have some white trainers where the fronts are all scuffed and are now a greyish colour.

Does anyone have any miracle cures for this? I thought about using something like tip-ex on them but this could be a bad idea as it will probably show

Would nail polish remover and vaseline work?

I did. It think the leather has actually been ground off the front (so not a scuff)

Definitely some sort of white trainer polish. It's worked for me in the past, but I can't remember the brand.

Nothing I hate more than white trainers.

I scuff 'em and generally dirty 'em up on purpose when I buy them.

You do realise they come in other colours than white?

new trainer time and be more careful

Is this the fashion now then?
I remember about 15 years ago the first thing my mate did after getting a new pair of trainers was take them out to the garden and scuff them up a bit.
