I imagine if you are seeing anything, something may show up from people trying shoes on at the DSW, where I bought them from, as did I when I purchased them. Upon closer inspection, I don't see any toe marks. What I do see is a lighter area up where the thong meets the shoe and goes underneath the leather. This is easier to spot in the picture though, thanks to the camera flash. The reason I flipped them over in 1 pic was to show that there was no wear/discoloration/scuffing on the soles from walking around outdoors.
