For context I fell for the first time and the worst part of it was my new shoes got scuffed never mind my elbow 🥲. Any recs for a white leather shoe polish? Would that be a waste of money considering they’ll prob get dirty/scuffed again anyways? Thanks for everyone’s feedback!

Its bound to happen bro, wear it with pride 🤘🏻
Following as the same thing happened to me this week 🤣
That’s what you get for going with white
Ouch. Death of the peacock.
Just rock it mate. Only you’ll notice it, nobody else will nor would even give a shit. But if it really really bothers you, try angelus paint.
On the bright side (get it?) it matches the rest of the shoe. /s
Is this the r/bicyclingcirclejerk sub? 😵💫
Black doesn’t show scuffs as easily
Dang, those Lakes? I have the white MX239s, I got a couple of marks similar to yours hiking some sketchy dirt paths. I cleaned it with household dish soap and microfiber towels. I just kept scrubbing till the black parts we’re mostly gone. You couldn’t tell there were marks unless you squinted on the cleaned sections.
I hope it’ll work for you as well
P.S. Don’t use bleach
I just touch up my scuff marks with [white acrylic craft paint](https://www.amazon.com/AUREUO-Titanium-Acrylic-Pigment-Ceramic/dp/B0DWM8M27D/).
It’s thicker and more opaque than the white shoe polish.
Option 1 is Magic eraser, works amazingly.
Option 2 is stop giving a shit, they’re shoes to ride a bike with and nobody else will notice that tiny scuff. Sure wipe the mud off them every now and then but actual hard scuffs just live with them.
