Bit of a strange one..

I am unbelievably short of money atm which is why I'm even thinking about this, If I could do it I could sell them..

About five years ago I had some money I wanted to donate to charity so decided to do it via a charity that auctions celebrity signed items, the winning bid goes to charity.. I was never bothered about the item, Just wanted to donate the money.

Ended up with a pair of Tom Ford calf leather shoes, Which are signed on the bottom of each shoe with gold marker, Shoes themselves are in almost perfect condition.

Reason I want to remove it is because I don't really think anyone would want to buy shoes signed by David Walliams! Without the signatures I could then sell them.

Anyone have any ideas on how to remove the marker please?

I can take pics if anyone needs to see the bottom of the shoes if it would help with figuring out how to get it off..
