The same tricks largely work for removing stains from shoes, though you should always pay attention to the care guides for your shoes before attempting any cleaning methods not recommended by the manufacturer. Exceptions should be made for suede shoes, which should never be washed with more than a tiny amount of water. You can dab suede shoes that have got paint on them with a foamy water and detergent mix but it is preferable to use a leather cleaner in this case.
