Default Marks on outer primary

So I've tried to clean these marks off multiple times and it does help a little bit but they're always still there... Does anyone know what causes this or how to get them to go away? Any product recommendations? I'm guessing it's just from my shoes or something but I'd love to get rid of it. Thanks everyone

Do you wear brown leather boots by any chance?

I'll try the pencil eraser before I go out and buy one of those other two! Thanks

Magic Eraser, Mr Clean. You really wear Chuck Taylor's when you ride?

On shorter rides, yeah. They're leather if that helps at all lol. Boots definitely for longer rides though.

If you can't get it off, it can be touched up with semi-gloss paint. The wrinkle texture makes it easy to feather the paint into the rest of the primary cover, so with care it's undetectable when you're done.
