Removing size printing from boots

Hi,

Sorry not a good title.

I have some immitation leather boots and I want to remove the gold printing from the inside that says the size. Anyone got any ideas whats the best product for this. A friend suggested nail varnish remover, but I don't have any. I would rather remove it than try to cover it with marker pen, if anyone has any suggestions.

The reason is that they are thigh high boots, that I fold over the top to make knee high boots, but the sizes show on the inside, when I do this!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Sandra

Hi,

Sorry to title should say removing size printing, but I can't change it now.

I can (and so can you, but I'm too tired to explain just now )

think someone said somewhere on this site that a squirt of hairspray removes ink so maybe give that a go,can't se it doing any harm?

Mine seem to wear off just by wearing them...? what about just trying to rub at it with your finger and some water?

Thanks for replies.
I haven't got any hairspray, but will just try rubbing it with a damp cloth and see what happens.

Thanks
