Try spraying some wax and grease remover (prepsol) on them. You may need to get a cheap squirty bottle from the supermarket to put the wax and grease remover in, or just buy some already in an aerosol can. Then wash shoes as per normal.

WD-40 is your friend.
You can also use it to seal any new light coloured trainers prior to wear. Its actually a water dispersent so will stop staining from dirt or spillages. |

Napisan? They reckon that shit takes any heavy stain out.

Eucalyptus oil is good for removing grease stains,
Just apply it to a bit of clean cotton wool, and gently dab at the stains until it comes off. Do it carefully cause it can sometimes remove dyes (although Ken Block brand shoes should be well made) |

i was told to try a can of coke, throw your oily gear in the washing machine, pour a can of coke over the lot, add the usual detergent and softener, and do a normal cycle..
yet to try it, will get round to it with some dirty stuff shortly

Sard wonder soap, cheap & brilliant but you've probably set the stain now that you have washed them
