scuffmarks

Rubber heel traces

Scuffmarks are dark streaks or smudges left on a surface by scraping contact, typically from shoe soles on floors or rubber bumping against walls.

The word usually appears as two words (scuff marks) or hyphenated: The movers left scuffmarks all over the hardwood.

A magic eraser will usually remove them.
