scuff mark

Shoe drag evidence

A scuff mark is a streak or smudge left on a surface by friction—typically when rubber, leather, or hard material drags across a floor, wall, or shoe.

Black rubber soles leave scuff marks on gym floors; luggage leaves them on airport walls.

The movers left scuff marks all over the hardwood.
