New canvas shoes. A bottle of cooking oil. Splat!

The shoes aren't tennis shoes. They're semi-orthopedic, and they can't go through the washer.

Any idea how to remove oil? They're only a couple of weeks old, and he has to wear shoes all the time.

Perhaps you can spread dishwasher detergent on them, let soak a few hours, rinse with water and then air dry.

If they are white and he doesn't mind having colored ones, you could try dying them something like navy blue or black.

sure is, didn't they use it to help get crude oil off birds after the Exxon Valdez?
Gojo hand cleaner although it may darken, could do both if it does, at t least they will match.

Great! hope they didn't shrink.
Reminds me of an ancient Chinese saying
"If you want to forget your troubles, wear a pair of too tight shoes"
