How can I remove what looks like a red wine stain from an expensive brown leather shoe?

I discovered what looks like a red wine stain on a brown leather shoe.





How can I remove it? I've tried scrubbing but that doesn't work.|||You probably can't. Leather is so porous that it's probably a permanent stain. You can always try staining both shoes that color...|||Apparently white wine gets red wine stains off.|||you can try aqua selzer..i dont think i spelled it right..but yea it works|||use Club Soda|||This will depend on the type of finish on the shoe. If you have an aniline style leather (one that is absorebent) the wine will have soaked into the leather and it will be impossible to 'clean' it out. You can only clean the surface of leather and not extract stains out.


If you have a finished leather it may be possible as the stain will be sitting on the surface.


It is better to take these to a leather specialist to deal with as using household products may make the matter far worse.
