Anyone have luck removing sharpie from new style cleats? Rubbing alcohol didn't seem to do much... thanks for any help!

regular toothpaste in small circle motions with a rag should do the trick

Best bet is probably dry erase marker. Something about the ink causes it to bond with the permanent ink pigments. The suspended combination of inks can then rub off. I'm not sure how well it would work on leather, but it should work on the vinyl parts. Just start in a small area, I suppose.

Even if you successfully remove the ink, it might still show up under different frequencies of light.

I've used nail polish remover to clean shoes before, it removed scuffs easily
