# How to Remove Shoe Marks From Concrete
Concrete is a durable material made from combining cement with an aggregate. It is often used by homeowners to create an outdoor walkway or as flooring for the family garage. Even though concrete can withstand a large amount of abuse, it is not immune to stains. For example, scuff marks caused by shoes will show up on a concrete surface. A little bit of time and attention is all it takes to remove these marks.
