Stop Letting Your Floor Mats Ruin Your Shoes: How to Fix and Prevent Scuffing
Stop doing this to your shoes!
Your dirty floor mats are silently ruining the sides of your shoes as you drive — leaving behind dark, ugly scuff marks, especially on delicate materials like suede or nubuck.
At Revive Kicks, we see this problem all the time. The good news? It’s preventable — and even fixable!
🚗 Here’s How to Minimize Scuffing While Driving:
- Watch your foot placement to avoid unnecessary rubbing
- Clean your floor mats regularly to remove built-up dirt
- Keep a pair of dedicated driving shoes or remove your shoes during longer drives
These small habits make a big difference over time. But no matter what, cleaning is still the best long-term strategy — for both your shoes and your car’s interior!
