Shoes paint legs: what to do

After a walk, socks become stained, and feet are colored
. Both newly bought shoes and an old favorite already tested pair can suffer from such a nuisance.

With new ones, it’s clear – poor-quality coating from the inside or unstable paint
. And in old ones, the insoles could wear off to a layer of paint and start to spoil socks. In order not to throw away shoes, you can use folk advice.

• Vinegar.
  Table colorless vinegar will not only fix the paint, but also protect the shoes from an unpleasant smell. After processing, you need to air the shoes to remove the specific smell of the vinegar itself.

• Socks.
  You can solve the problem by wearing problematic shoes with old unnecessary socks for a while. Shoes will give off excess paint and stop smearing legs and socks.
