Stain removal - marker pen off leather

[jaynethepain]

My son went out in some new leather trainers recently, fell asleep at a friends house and when he woke up, found one of his mates had drawn on his white leather trainers in black marker!

Should we just throw them away or is there anything we can do about it?

Boys!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant thank you for being so QUICK! Will give them a go.

Hopefully those will work. Failing that get his mate to buy him a new pair, he stained them.
