Hi all,
I ignorantly put too much shoe cream on my shoe and water till the toe cap got stained and overwhelmed with the shoe cream. What can i do so the colour will lighten to its original colour as fast as possible? It has been about two weeks and it's the color is fading only so slightly. Eg. Does wearing the shoes often or leaving it aside make the colors return faster. Thank you!

Note: the pair on the right (from our point of view) is initially stained alot worse. The customer service helped to mitigate it slightly and balance the colour of the left pair.

Very similar to another recent thread. It is otherwise described as patina, wear them, it will mellow and look good.

Hi may i have the link to the recent thread please? Thank you! Why will wearing the shoes help to mellow it as compared to leaving it? Thanks!
