Cleaning Sole


I just bought a couple pair of shoes at the thrift shop, suede brogues and some loafers for about 15 of your squid; the problem is they wrote these number codes on the soles in green marker. I know nobody is exactly going to see it unless I sit with one leg resting on the other's knee, but I want them off anyway. I mean, I'm not some sort of Persian rug so I don't need to be going around with deliberate flaws if I can avoid it.

First I tried licking my thumb and rubbing (it worked on my face when I was a little boy so why not?) and then nail polish remover. Neither worked, maybe because the nail polish remover was non-acetone (acetone dries your nails), so what do you suggest?

P.S. Sorry I couldn't come up with a decent pun for sole emoticon

Remember those bowling shoes? I got an 'ink mark' off of those with nail varnish remover, but it does have to be with acetate.

Or.......if it's on the soles, you could always paint over the pen in a colour the same as the sole! Or is that just plain stupid?!!?

Have you tried hairspray? It might work.
