You can try to just use a regular pencil eraser... I have tried this before and it helped.\n\nGood Luck!

get rid of the shoes that caused them!\ndepending on the case, there r some steps that u might find helpeful:\n- if its big, old and ugly there's a special cream that kinda peals off the corn or more like burns it u can find it in the drug stores.\n- if its new and small and sore and red..soak ur feet for 15 minutes then carefully take a loafah or whatever -nothing too rough pls- and start scrubbing it off but gently.\n- u can try slicing a small tiny slice of tomato and putting it on it and put on it plasters just for a day or 2.\n- also if its new and hurts.. use a special jelly taht soothes the pain and hopefully gets it away, scholl is the best.\nhope this works!

Since I was a kid, every time I get a new pair of skates I put them on, fill a tub with hot water and take a bath in them. Then I get out and walk around the house for the rest of the night. It really helps the break-in proccess. I don't know if it compromises the leather or not, but I've never had any problem with my skates.

try putting rubbing achol in the boot and putting your foot in. this will help the leather stretch. if that does not work then take them to a boot repair store and have them stretched

Try cleaning stains versus household cleaners.  Do candle wax, grease, grass, dried mustard, etc.

Thy soaking them in water with denture cleaning tablets. If that doesn't get them clean enough.soak then in water /ammonia. Also, a bottle brush will help. If there are still stains, use acetone nail polish remover. You might also try rubbing alcohol. Keep in mind that different kinds of "dirt" are soluble in different  chemicals. Be careful with the chemicals.  Avoid very hot water which may cause the bottles to break.

put on a pair of mid calf white thick socks / thick wool ones work also.  wrap once from the bottom to the top without too many creases with duct tape, then place an old inner sole from one of your old shoes and wrap again with more duct tape.  that's what i'd do if you didn't have to have certain regulations or email me and my friends in houston will tell me how to get them or they may even have an extra pair

Unfortunately if the leather has cracked it is near impossible to restore.  Rain and excess moisture and then heat from the sun will ruin any leather jacket.\n\nThe best care remedy is to use leather oil and stain to coat the leather jacket again.  It won't make it look new, but it will improves it.  Find a shoe polish tint that matches the jacket (or now they might even have special leather jacket stains).  Then rub in an oil like the one they use for baseball gloves.  Let is air dry in a shady area.  When finished use a damp rag to wash off excess stain and oil. Then re oil again.  After the 2nd coating the jacket should be in better condition.

Scuff up the bottoms of the shoes a little by dragging your feet on concrete.  When the soles are too smooth, they are slippery.

A pumice stone works wonders - you can buy them at any grocery or pharmacy store for about 2 -3 dollars.  It's just a porous rock that you scrub your feet with and it takes off all the dead skin.

This is going to sound weird, but toothpaste has historically worked for me. Just swirl it around on the surface and then wash it off - it fills in the scratches wonderfully.

You can use a clear coat paint or clear liquid shoe polish.

My children have a horrible time with white shoes- I have bleached leathers and they fell apart- canvas turned yellow.\nFor leather the best thing is Mr. Clean magic erasers- nobody believed me until they tried it. Canvas all you can do is wash  \nwith like colors or by new ones.

I found and copy/pasted some good stuff for you:\n\n- Practice good foot hygiene to keep bacteria levels at a minimum.\n\n- Bathe your feet daily in lukewarm water, using a mild soap. Dry thoroughly.\n\n- Change your socks and shoes at least once a day.\n\n- Dust your feet frequently with a nonmedicated baby powder or foot powder. Applying antibacterial ointment also may help.\n\n- Check for fungal infections between your toes and on the bottoms of your feet. If you spot redness or dry, patchy skin, get treatment right away.\n\n- Wear thick, soft socks to help draw moisture away from the feet. Cotton and other absorbent materials are best.\n\n- Avoid wearing nylon socks or plastic shoes. Instead, wear shoes made of leather, canvas, mesh or other materials that let your feet breathe.\n\n- Don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. If you frequently wear athletic shoes, alternate pairs so that the shoes can dry out. Give your shoes at least 24 hours to air out between wearings; if the odor doesn't go away, discard the shoes.\n\n- Always wear socks with closed shoes.\n\n(Those are all preventative measures.  If you still run into persistent problems, there are more aggressive treatments you can look into, like electrolysis.  For severe, persistent cases a nerve in the foot can even be cut.  For less severe cases, there are home remedies... like soaking your feet in strong, black tea for 30 minutes a day.)
