Anything strong enough to remove dried paint will likely affect dyed finish on leather shoes. Goof Off or Goo Gone may work, but test in an inconspicuous place first for ill effects. (Note: Once paint is dry it tends to be very difficult to remove.) If you live in an area where there is a shoe repair shop, you may find some assistance there.

Sorry I didn't mention that they are NOT all leather, but a pair of 'oasics' jogging shoes, that have that gauzy material and the hard stuff maybe leather [or vinyl]
Thank you for the reply, I will take them to a shoe shop, methinks
