Scuffed Shoes

I have a pair of black dolly shoes that I absolutely love, but the toes are all scuffed after years and years of wearing them in all weathers!
They look really scruffy but I don't really want to have to buy a new pair. i was wondering whether anyone has any tips for how I can get them to not look so old and scuffed?!
I have polished them with furniture and black shoe polish but they haven't worked.
Any advice will be gratefully received.

I used to patch up scuffed heels with black permenant marker followed by black shoe polish; it might be worth investing in some proper shoe dye as they are such favourites.0

Hee hee! I do this to one of my T-shirts that has a bleach mark on it- every time I want to wear it the black marker comes out!'I can't deny the British influence on my accent and mannerisms, but I don't know the British national anthem, I didn't weep for Princess Diana and I always cheer when Britain loses at sport.

Permanent black marker? Such as the one you have to buy to write names on kids uniforms? That should sort you out.0

I always found the Clarks shoe polish was good to cover my DS's scuff marks. If you put a good amount on and leave it to dry and form a sort of skin (I leave overnight), you can then buff it up in the morning. It manages to cover the whitish bits you can get with bad scuffing - DS2 is an expert at this.
It's only a game

kiwi liquid shoe polish is good for covering scuff marks and generally giving your shoes a smarten up,it doesn't cost a lot either,most shoe shops and supermarkets sell it0
