Causes of unwanted staining:

• Of course, the reason that boots or shoes inside stain socks or tights, may be a poor-quality product. Especially when it comes to inexpensive shoes. However, it also happens that the quality of the product is not in doubt - then the reason may be in the owner of this shoe, or rather in the sweating of his legs.

Important! This is the most common reason that pigment is transferred to clothing or skin.

• Shoes can also be painted from the inside due to moisture that has got inside, for example, during rain.

Important! In winter or autumn, this happens much more often.

• Another common cause is improper shoe care. Paints, creams and gels affect the material, and therefore can give a similar unpleasant effect.

Important! In the situations described above, none other than the owner of the shoe is to blame. But if you notice that the shoes have painted your entire foot, then we are really talking about shoes of very poor quality.
