😩 HELP With Stain on NEW Shoes 😩

I've spent the last hour trying to get a couple spots of Red Kool Aid off my new Vionic Recovery Sandals in the color Birch.  The spots are on the textured band portion.  
I've tried 2 different stain removers, a tiny dab of bleach & detergent to no avail.  It's gotten lighter, but not gone.  I put more Tide Stain Remover on just to soak.

If anyone has suggestions please let me know.🙏❤️

Maybe dawn power wash, or hydrogen peroxide?

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

Are these washable shoes? Could you throw them in the washing machineto get the stain out? Smiley Happy That's what I do with my Keds tennis shoes.  I hope the stain comes out, Cheriere Smiley Happy! I've definitely stained white tops with ketchup or BBQ sauce before.

I don't see why not.  After all, I've gotten this one so wet already by just scrubbing and re-wetting it, I don't see how a gentle cycle could hurt.  That's what I'd planned to do if it wouldn't come out any other way.  Thanks so much.😃❤️

I didn't even think about using that.  I think I still have one in the laundry room somewhere too.

Thank you.😃❤️

Re: 😩 HELP With Stain on NEW Shoes 😩

I recently used vinegar to get out blood stains on a sheet.  They had been on the sheet for several days.  I just soaked the stain with vinegar before washing.  Just a trace of stain left, which probably would not have happeed  had I treat the stain more promptly.
