either:
a) throw them away!
b) use soap and water ---handwash them
~you won't get them completely clean though!~
c) take them to a dry cleaners place (professional place, not just your own washer and dryer!)
TAKE THEM TO A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING PLACE!
^they know how to clean them without ruining them^
Personally, I would say your best bet would be take them to a professional cleaning place and pay about 10 bucks to make them look brand new.

Get the fabric that has already soaked up the gas outdoors and flow away your storage door open to help evaporate the a number of gas. The gas that has soaked in will could desire to evaporate better slowly...and particular it extremely is volatile if the fumes advance. it fairly is recommended to have your hubby come homestead a sprint early to evaluate the quantity of the placed on and tear.

I would throw them away because the smell of gas is impossible to get ride of. Sorry but I would buy a new pair. Be careful pumping gas.

Put them in the washer with a good quality soap. Air dry out in the sun.

I know Febreze actually worked on my husband's clothes when he got gas on several items, but not sure how shoes would work. I imagine its worth a try.

sorry to hear that, first tho make sure they dry out completly before touching them... let em sit in the sun for a while. don't know what else to say as I don't know what actually is wrong, let them evaporate then see if any damage occured

soap and water.
that's how you clean leather. Follow that up with a lanolin based leather treatment moisturizer (sold as leather lotion at most shoe stores).

Not with a blowlamp. I would put them in the washing machine. My wife washes all our trainers like that.
