Grass stain on white leather shoe...how to fix???

Hello,

I have got some lovely white summery leather shoes and one of them has got a great big grass stain all up the side!

Does any of you wonderful MNers know if I have any hope of getting the stain out? And if so, how? I've tried white polish stuff in a tube from Clarks but no luck.

Should I post this in Good Housekeeping or whatever it's called, do you think?

TIA

this is for clohtes

"To remove grass stains from washable clothing, make a paste of powdered enzyme laundry detergent, apply to the stain, and let sit in a warm place for at least 30 minutes. Remove the paste, and with an eye dropper, apply a solution of one part white vinegar or ammonia to two parts water. Blot until all traces of stain have been removed. Rinse in cool water, and launder per care label instructions. For non washable items, apply a pre-treatment such as Shout to the stain. Allow to stand for at least 15 minutes. With an eyedropper, apply a solution of one part white vinegar or household ammonia to two parts cool water. Blot until stain is removed. Rinse with warm water and allow to dry. If stain persists, seek the help of a dry cleaning professional, and be sure to identify the stain to them for treatment.

On carpeting, gently sponge the area with a dry cleaning solution such as Afta Cleaning Fluid. Apply a dry spotter to the stain and place an absorbent pad dampened with the dry spotter over the stain. Allow the pad to remain as long as the stain is being picked up, insuring that the pad stays moist during the process. when all residue is picked up, flush with the dry cleaning solvent and allow to dry. Repeat as necessary
