skymama 37 #1 January 11, 2007 I just colored in a scuff on my shoe with a Sharpie. It looks so much better now!

micduran 0 #4 January 11, 2007 I scratched a picture frame and fixed it with a Sharpie. I once used black nail polish on a shoe. It didn't work so well.Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jewels 0 #11 January 11, 2007 Sounds to me like you just want to be fastidious and not walk around wearing scuffed shoes. (And yes, I too have used the Sharpie for such purposes! No one will ever know . . . unless they're reading this thread, of course!) "Too many?" I don't think that's possible. Ask sartre about zappos.com. That only enhances the shoe experience.TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mamajumps 0 #13 January 11, 2007 I have done this before and not just with shoes.... I have a favorite sweat shirt that I have had for 16 years now that says "horse shit" on the front but right under the i & t is a "carot" with the letter r so it really says "horse shirt". The letters are all in black and I have colored them back in several times, becuase I know replacing the shirt would be impossible.... What cheap really is: It was 60 degrees in my house last night and instead of turning the heat on, Me and the kids just bundled up.... I did turn it on to warm up to 70 before we went to bed.

jkm2500 0 #16 January 11, 2007 Hey....What's wrong with being a redneck? You do live in the south, right? You have redneck blood coursing through your veins.....you couldn't help yourself. It is like a primal urge, you were probably overwhelmed by the redneck genes and saw the sharpie and thought to yourself, "aaiiigght, I can fix these here shoes quicker than the panties came off at my cousin's wedding!"The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

sharimcm 0 #18 January 11, 2007 I touch-up my furniture with Sharpies, so kudos for you! If fixing a scuff on your shoes makes you cheap, what does it make me for fixing up my furniture?
