How to Clean Shoes?-URGENT?

Question

I recently brought a pair of $60 white formal shoes.

The other night after wearing them I got home to find that a black streak roughly 10cm long had made its way onto the top of the shoe. This black line (i am 99.99% sure is from the sole of another shoe).

Does anyone have any idea on how i can get this mark of without ruining the shoe.

Any help would be good.

I use windex on all my shoes.  It will even take out grease and oil.

Answer 4

1- tooth past and tooth brush - just brush really hard.

2- nail polish remover  and tooth brush or cleanx - same thing brush really hard and wipe the extra liquid that's left after you finished the first scrub and dipping you're tooth brush or cleanx again.

3- after all that fails but for sure it will make the black line lighter just get some white shoe polish..

the same thing happened to me but i have pink formals and they don't make shoe polish for that color pink so i had to change the color of the shoe =( and after i worked so hard on getting one of the shoes black mark all clean the other shoe was just to ruff =(
