Pen ink on leather - anything to do?

I got a phone call and in 2 seconds while my back was turned, my 2 year old daughter found a stray ball point pen & put blue lines all over my wife's nice light colored leather shoes.

Any solutions?

6. If the rubbing alcohol tastes too bitter, give wife a screwdriver.

2. If the Alcohol doesn't do it try hair spray.

It worked on my couch to get the last bit that the alcohol left behind.

Can they be dyed black? Can always use another pair of black shoes.

4. If you use the rubbing alcohol

Follow up with some kind of leather conditioner - alcohol can dry out the leather.

5. my suggestion?

Give your wife $250 and tell her to treat herself to a new pair of shoes. :-)

and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

7. $250? WOW!!!! Amazona must buy some damn fine shoes!

For $200, I'll come to your house,
take a dump on those shoes,
and take ALL the blame from your wife!

Throw in a sandwich, and I'll bust a window so you can tell her it was a break-in!
