Getting stains out of white leather is pretty complicated. The white finish is painted, not dyed, and is therefore much more fragile. I take care of all kinds of leather for my community, so I know a bit about this.


Here's my process: 1) Wash the entire shoe with glycerine soap and water. It sounds like you've already done something like this. 2) Very lightly scrub the area with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab/ q tip. 3) Very lightly scrub the area with a leather stain remover. 4) Gently clean the area with a magic eraser. If the finish is already deteriorating then this will likely make it worse. Meaning, if the white paint is flaking off or cracking. 5) Repaint the area with Angelus white leather paint. If you're really lucky the paint will blend perfectly into the surrounding area and you'll be done at this point. If you're not that lucky you will have to paint the entire panel or even the entire shoe to get it to match perfectly. Seal the entire area with Resolene to give it all a protective finish.


Go down this list in order. When you've achieved the result you want, stop. You want to perform the least number of these steps as possible. Best of luck!
