Have you tried turps?

 

[mafhh]

i dont have those

If it's leather you may be able to wash off with soapy water but may take some elbow grease.

isopropol (rubbing alcohol) ???


just a dab and see what happens.


wait for other advice B4 doing what i say

Turps is another name for white spirit. If you haven't got any of that, then your best method would be hot soapy water and plenty of elbow grease. Might help if you put some neat washing-up liquid on the worst of the marks. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that this will work.

Okay. Thanks. Lets see what i can do. Hope he doesnt look for his shoe tonight.

As the two shoes in the pic are obviously from two different pairs (the rim gave it away), then I'm guessing it's a wind up!

The picture of the shoes wasn't posted by the OP, so it could still be real.

This predicament is plausible but a Windows Seven computer tech forum is not the first place I'd look for help.
Don't suppose Google would get me here either

Depends how you word it.
All roads lead to Rome 7forums.

See if you can roll back to the previous shoecolordriver.sys via System Restore. If that doesn't work, Reinstall.

(As in Reinstall yourself somewhere else before your old man gets home.)

The elbow grease suggestion is good, too. Got any Saddle Soap handy?

If nothing else works, put on some black pants - now! That way when your dad kicks your ass and gets black shoe polish all over the seat of your pants it won't show. :devil:

Once I tried to update shoecolordriver.sys, it resulted in a system crash. After recovering from sleep mode I realized there was a conflict between beer 6.0 and walking 2.1. After a good purging followed by a reboot all systems were fine.

Lots of LOL's! Well i just put the shoes where they belonged and waited for him to wear them hoping he wouldnt realize:shock:. But he suddenly wore his other black shoes! And i said innocently: Hey Dad, why wont you wear your brown shoes?
-Those? Oh those just dont fit with my clothes
-Oh man! Really? I had waxed them for you!:devil:

Oops sorry, I thought I was being observant. Seems I wasn't!

Funny thread! But to the OP if you can't get the two shoes matching again, you could do to the other shoe what you did to the first one. At least they'll match!

Then put tons of BROWN polish on them, and leave it on for ages.

I damaged some black shoes once, so I put a thick layer of polish on, and never brushed or wiped it off! Of course you can't wear light colored trousers with them when you do this.

It might just work with brown - you never know.

As a last resort, you can also get special shoe paint - just for leather shoes. If painting them brown doesn't work, you can paint them black, but by this time you will have to do the humble pie "please don't kill me" thing with your dad.

But at least the shoes won't have to be thrown out.

Good luck!

There is another solution too: Buy New Shoes!
