Just got a pair of KSO and yesterday while trying to glue some plastic models, I accidentally squeezed a drop on it.

Image as below.




Any idea how to remove the stain?  Huh

If it's cyanoacrylate I'd try acetone (typically in nail polish remover). Be careful with it though. I'm not sure how it interacts with the Vibram upper materials.

Aye, has anyone try the mention method before? (I do not want to spoil my favorite shoes... Cry)

Hyrdogen Peroxide is less harsh and will also break up super glue.

Any medical store/superstore should carry it, probably close to isoproply alcohol. The chemical name is H202. If you can't find it in a store go to a clinic/hospital and see if you can borrow/buy a bottle from somewhere.
I wouldn't use acetone as the upper is synthetic and I'm guessing probably contains some plastic which would melt w/ acetone.

When using the hydrogen peroxide use it in an inconspicuous part of the upper first as it has some whitening/bleaching properties.
