I think it's oil-base, it was for the exterior of a house.

Mineral spirits, or turpentine. If the shoes have a good coat of polish on them, a rag with hot water may do the trick, if the paint didn't dry.
I'm guessing you don't want to ruin the shoes...
Try calling a shoe repair service or boot shop and see what they suggest.
Good Luck,

It all depends on your wooden flooring some wooden flooring - especially the french ones - you can use paint thinner to remove stains - on some wooden flooring, if you use paint thinner - the base material used on the wooden floor either gets warped/ crinckled or just melts I don't know exactly what kind of epoxy is used on your wooden flooring so dont take chances. To be on safer side, try the paint thinner in one farthest corner of the room (even if that corner of flooring is clean) and drop some paint thinner on it and rub it with heavy hand. If the epoxy doesnt get affected, try again on some other corner place to be sure that the paint thinner does not affect your flooring - if you feel the paint thinner does not harm your flooring - use your judgment and try out on one small patch of stained flooring Best luck

It is probably latex. First try water and a lot of elbow grease. Oil based paints aren't that popular anymore. If, in fact it is oil paint, try Goof-off (brand name), but try it first on an old shoe of the same material to see if it harms the shoe.

Hello everyone.There is a product called citra strip,which is environmentally friendly and non toxic.We used it on an antique end table that we bought at a garage sale and removed the oil based paint with it.It worked wonderfully.
Hope this was helpfull.

If you have a razor blade, you can flick it off if it is thick enough.
I believe if you use harsh cleaners, you may end up discoloring the shoes.
Dish soap, seems to be mild enough. If you dilute it, you can rub gently with a cotton cloth.

Try something containing acetone, like nail-polish remover.

try undiluted pine sol, it works great on model car paint, it just might work for other paints, hope this works for you.
