Ruined boots

Options
I have a pair of brown boots I ADORE! but I bought a polish for them and it turned out to be the wrong shade. ( I know I'm an idiot) :D and now hence my title they're ruined. can anyone advise me how to get the polish off.
It's not completally covered my boots just bits of it in big patches all over them.
Many thanks
SL

    I did that once :eek: :eek: :eek: The only solution was to polish all over, and have darker brown boots :o I took the view that trying to remove it might make the situation worse.

  • Penelope penguin.. LOL cheers but I was kinda hoping to restore them, espec as the actual leg bit is ruffled and it would be a little difficult to get it in all the creases if you know wat I mean but I have to say i may just have to try it if the link that I've been sent doesn't work ( haven't looked yet!) but as they're unwareable I guess I've got nowt to lose!!;)

    Merlot.. Thanks for the link Just going to look at it now!! hope it works!:D
