Metallic shoes and scuffs

I scuffed the edge of my relativley new MeToo Mission metallic flats. Has anyone else noticed that if you scuff a MeToo metallic it shows black under the metallic?
These are a pewter shade I love but now I am afraid it can't be fixed.
Have not checked with my beloved shoemaker to see if he can work his magic on them yet.

I scuffed my favorite pewter flats and it shows black too... sigh. Mine is on the side of the shoe so it's not visible but it's still very annoying. I have no advice but wanted to say that I know what you're talking about!

Chris, I don't have this exact problem, but I did scuff the toe area of some white sandals that I wore a lot this summer. The cobbler was able to make them look better by "painting" the scuffed area in a color that matched the shoe. (I don't know if there is a better way to describe this, but hopefully you understand.) It looks better now.

Yup, I've scuffed my pewter Sam Edelman gladiators and they show black underneath. Doesn't bug me too much with these shoes, though -- kind of "toughens" them up.
