You bought new shoes, and it would seem that happiness should know no bounds, but as soon as you took them off, you saw that your socks or tights were stained. A natural question arises: what to do if your shoes stain your feet? This situation is by no means uncommon. Some people go to the store to replace the product (albeit hardly successfully), but there are better options - try to fix the situation on your own and make sure that the next time you wear the same pair, the incident with dyeing socks does not happen again.
Why?
Regardless of the cost, shoes and boots add a different color to your feet. The dye appears on them after the first wear, making a person blush in front of his friends. The reason is continuous exposure to heat and moisture. This does not happen if the feet are always dry. Before putting on shoes, use special deodorants if you suffer from severe hyperhidrosis of the legs. Otherwise, after some time, the tights will turn a different color.
These remedies are only to prevent sweating. They don't treat the real cause.
If the new item is stained, go back to the store where you bought the shoes and exchange the pair. The defect is considered a manufacturing defect; there are no problems with the exchange (return) of the product.
Worn or scratched shoes are difficult to return; you will have to work hard to get rid of these undesirable qualities yourself.
Shoe care rules
There are general rules for caring for shoes. Here are some recommendations that can prevent staining:
- Buy boots or shoes with thick insoles in a light color.
- Shoes should always be dried after wearing and shoes should never be worn when wet.
- If the problem is poor quality insoles, then replace them with better ones.
- Use shoe sprays; they create a slight film and prevent staining.
Following these simple rules will protect you from unpleasant emotions caused by unwanted coloring of stockings.
Medical alcohol
Alcohol or regular vodka not only fixes the color, they do an excellent job of removing almost any type of stain. If shoes stain your feet, soak a cotton swab in one of the suggested compounds and wipe the inner surfaces of the product.
Alcohol and vodka should not be used for skin diseases of the legs, cuts and other injuries.
This technology also helps for a short time. After washing it is repeated.
Preventive measures
If your feet sweat a lot, you can purchase special medical products.
They can help get rid of excessive sweating, and the problem with skin coloring will also be solved. Try not to let your shoes get into water frequently, especially when you know that the product you purchased stains your feet; you should not wear these shoes in cloudy weather.
Compositions for processing leather products must be purchased only of high quality. There is no need to skimp so as not to regret it in the future.
Naturally, it is quite ugly and unpleasant if the shoes begin to stain the stockings. However, there is no need to worry about this. Any person can cope with this trifle. Choose only high-quality shoes that will certainly please your feet.
Burdock
If shoes are painted on the inside, what should you do? It is not the plant itself that is used, but the essential oil.
Apply the product to the boots using a cotton pad, treating only the inside. Do not spare it, the oil is well absorbed into the fabric.
No need to rinse off. Leave the boots to dry thoroughly. If the oil is poorly absorbed, greasy marks appear on your feet and socks. Before putting on your boots, check them. Take a napkin and apply it to the inner surface; if it is greasy, stuff them with paper and leave them overnight. The excess oil will be absorbed into it, and you can wear your boots again.
Should boots be painted on the outside? Help!
Girls, I bought boots for 11,000, not cheap, I think, I put them on, but my hands are dirty, black, I began to rub them with a dry napkin, it’s black. The sellers say it’s not defective, they say it’s saturated and that’s how it should be. Boots are made of leather, is that really how it should be? or not? If anyone has encountered this, please tell me.”
I came across it. I bought completely normal boots or shoes at a price above average. After use my heels turned black. I decided to buy shoes with light-colored soles inside.
I don't think that's how it should be. Something wrong. In the best case, they were simply smeared with shoe polish to make them shine more, maybe the sellers themselves made them shine, but in the worst case, there is a defect.
They are painted not on the inside but on the outside, that is, I didn’t notice until I measured it and all the fingers on my hands arrived. Maybe I don’t understand something, maybe it’s really impregnation.
I haven’t noticed this on other boots, is this a Basconi company, maybe someone bought it?
now it’s tormenting me, I really like the boots, but this paint is annoying
That’s okay, but when the sheepskin coat is dyed, that’s where the nightmare is

No, it's disgusting. You get a pedicure, come home, and the skin on your feet is saturated with paint and cannot be washed off. Now I only buy light-colored boots; it is imperative that there is light-colored fur inside.
Do you think you should pass? I went to the store and polished all the boots, some are painted, some are not, what does it depend on?
I don't even know what it depends on. Probably the technology was broken when the skin was dyed. If you can, donate them and buy others. I bought boots when traveling abroad, so I suffered and wore them. I put on socks. Now I've switched to light-colored shoes.

My boots are now being painted on the outside. I think this is not a factory production, but a homemade pita. It’s not a big problem, but I think if all the paint comes off, the boots will lose their appearance.
Author: I bought these shoes twice at Rendez Voice. Both pairs from Nero Giardini One time they were so-called “sneakers” (well, these sneakers with wedges) black 9 thousand and the second time red boots 8 thousand. I bought Snickers because they were very comfortable and kind of fashionable, and I bought boots because there was a wild discount. Well, in essence, this situation with coloring is, of course, a defect, and if for you this is some kind of only (or just the main main) shoes, then it is better to return them and buy quality ones.
If you are painting inside, you can buy a spray. I don't remember what it's called. Stop color or something. In short, shoe sellers know what you need))
I haven’t noticed this on other boots, is this a Basconi company, maybe someone bought it?
same problem! I also bought it at Basconi.

Vinegar
The inside of shoes can be treated with table vinegar. It is also used to fix color on bedding and other things that fade.
If the shoes are painted from the inside, you need to do the following:
- Soak a cotton swab in vinegar; it does not need to be diluted with water. The more concentrated the composition, the better the effect.
- Wipe all desired areas with vinegar. You can apply it several times to consolidate the result.
- Leave it in the fresh air to dry.
Vinegar will solve this problem, staining your feet will no longer bother you.
The process of getting rid of paint on legs
If, after all, your feet have acquired an unnatural color from the leather on your shoes, then do not worry. There are a large number of ways that can help solve the problem:
- Treat your toes and heels with a foot file or pumice stone.
- Wash your heel with warm water and soap.
- Treat stained areas of your feet with nail polish remover or alcohol.
After the manipulations, be sure to lubricate your feet with cream.
To prevent problems with dyeing hosiery items from appearing, you can listen to certain recommendations.
Nail polish remover
You can buy it based on acetone or instead of it. The product removes nail polish, which also contains paint, so it can be used when this problem occurs.
If your shoes are stained, carefully treat them with this liquid. Do not overdo it with the amount of product so that stains do not appear on the inner surface.
What to do to prevent the inside of shoes from being painted - possible reasons
There are several reasons why shoes can get your feet dirty:
- If the entire foot is stained, then this is a sure sign that the insoles are made from cheap and low-grade material.
- Excessive sweating of the feet contributes to the transfer of dye to clothing and human skin.
- Getting your shoes wet in the autumn-winter period.
- Incorrect care. Low-quality creams, paints and sprays contain pigments that greatly affect the condition of the shoes. Temperature changes also negatively affect the structure of the coating due to the sun's rays.
IMPORTANT! Coloring of the heels is considered normal. This occurs due to the sewing of a leather insert on the inside. Staining occurs when the area is exposed to sweat, rain, or other liquid. To prevent such moments, it is better to wear shoes with light-colored insoles. In everyday shoes, the upper part of the insole often wears away, exposing the paint surface.
Professional chemistry
If shoes stain your feet, but a person does not want to return them to the store because he has been looking for this pair for a long time or really liked the design, there is another option - the use of industrial reagents. Household chemical stores sell special compounds marked “Anti-Color” or “Stop-Color.”
If you are painting shoes, use the following formula:
- Shake the can before use.
- Spray the product evenly over the inside of the shoes.
- Wait until the composition is absorbed.
After such manipulation, it will not be a shame to come to visit in white socks.
Is this a marriage
It is possible to prove the fact that shoes are defective only when they have not yet been in use. If you come to the store with a claim after wearing it, you will hardly be able to prove anything. It is necessary to take into account that if only the heel is stained, then a defect is quite possible. This is explained by the fact that during production the skin is applied to the heel area with the reverse side. This is done so that the leg does not move out.
Wash
To prevent shoes from being painted, many people use a special paint remover, which is used by artists.
When choosing a solution, base it not only on cost, but also on smell. Removers do not erode easily from fabric.
Brush remover is suitable. This solution is odorless and gentle on the boot material.
Manufacturers dye shoes because they want to save on material. If it is natural, such a procedure is not carried out inside. If the shoes are still painted and you couldn’t return them to the store, try using traditional methods, and then turn to professional help.
Ways to deal with the problem
There are a variety of ways to cope with such a nuisance. The fastest are store-bought products that take care of shoes without allowing the dye to be released. In this case, paint fixers are excellent helpers; it is better to choose those that have proven themselves to be the best, for example Salamander and Saphir.

You can use paint remover. True, the effect will be short-lived. After all, all you will do is wash off the paint that has appeared, but will not in any way protect your shoes and feet from re-staining.
