I was recently performing Colorguard Honors at a Veterans' motorcade. For pictures (in case you're wondering) see my Dropbox

Unfortunately, some genius decided to use a piece of cinder block to prop the door open, and I got my shoe scuffed up pretty bad when it decided to let go.

It looks worse than that in person.

How should I get rid of that scuff? These are my regular parade shoes so I want them as beautiful as possible.

Nail polish remover or Rubbing Alcohol works!.

Apply a little nail polish remover or Rubbing Alcohol to a cotton ball to polish out the scuff marks. Then, apply baby powder or petroleum jelly, like Vaseline, to protect the shoe's material. This method works well for Patent Leather.
