Blood Stain Removal from Leather Shoes
You can spot clean leather by carefully rubbing the soiled area with an artist's eraser. A stain on leather that won't brush or wipe off should be taken to a leather cleaner as quickly as possible. Though you can try cleaning it yourself with a leather-cleaning product, you may end up doing more harm than good. You can protect both leather and suede articles by spraying them with a silicone spray that you can purchase at most shoe stores. If you are willing to take a chance, risking irreparable damage to the shoes, you can try to remove the blood stains with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution or by covering the stains with a paste made of either salt or meat tenderizer and cold water. Let sit for 30 minutes, then sponge with cool water.

Why would you have blood on your shoes in the first place? That being said, this may be a good tip for murderers.

why would a normal person need this? I suppose if you were a hunter, but otherwise, you must have been involved in a terrible situation!

I used saddle soap and a very soft sponge dampened slightly. Worked a treat on blood spots on my brand new leather boots.

I also remove fresh blood stains by placing the fabric in icy water or in ice, for about 30 minutes. Stain will completely disappear.
