Apply the toothpaste directly to the scuff mark and scrub at it with a toothbrush. A toothpaste with baking soda in it is preferable to any other. Let it soak in for about 15 minutes. Rinse the shoes in cold water or put it in the washing machine.
Do not forget the shoe laces
In addition to cleaning your white shoes, you also need to clean your laces. What is the point of your shoes looking white, shiny, and new, when your laces are dirty? If the laces are dirty, the shoes look bad.
