What kind of paint is it? Also, what time of sole was the shoe that made the mark? Don't worry it can be removed buddy. A light micro polish and white pad will do the trick, but what type of products do you have?

It's the same silver as yours. I don't really know how to explain what type of sole it is. I image it's a mixture of leather and rubber.

I don't have any products yet to remove it.

Without detailing products use goof off on a MF towel. Once you remove it make sure to wash the area.

I wouldn't use goof off, but that is my opinion. Assuming the shoe is rubbery you can get it off with some Ultimate Compound or Ultimate Polish, which can both be found at a local auto parts store. I am assuming you know how to use compounds and polishes?

Don't use Goof Off, try Goo Gone and then rewax after. Goof Off can strip clear if used too much.

I'd try clay if a MF + quick detailer didn't work.

I had a shoe scuff on my side skirt and Meguiars ScratchX 2.0 and a foam applicator took it off in less than 2 minutes.
