IrIt will go purple. They tell us not to do it to our cadet boots cuz it turns them purple. They then demonstrated because we don't believe them. It actually turns your shoes purple. >.

Bin there dun that

Your not poor just uh...substituting well thats not the word im looking for but it will work

To save money, rather than buying shoes I blacken my feet.

LMAO I do the exact same thing! XD Not only on my shoes, though... On my black work pants, too O.o

That's not poor, jus a Lil ghetto fabulous. I would wait until the soles fell off my work shoes before I'd buy new ones.

OP, your just being super efficient. Saving money (that you might not have to buy new shoes.) Don't be so hard on yourself, all of the comments above have said they've been in the same shoes as you, so your not the only one :)

I get why you're thinking that way, but there's definitely nothing wrong with doing that. I mean if the shoes aren't worn to shit and aren't falling apart then why buy a new pair? Especially if the sharpie trick is working just fine.

But you have money for an iPhone?

I'm not poor and I've done that, hey, it works
