Alright I don't want to give you bad advice but if you are really adamant about getting it off you could try this. Now I warn you that I have never tried this, but it's just a guess that it could work, since it looks like a sharpie stain. There is a trick to get sharpie and other permanent ink off of hard surfaces. You take a dry erase marker and go over the sharpie, then remove the dry erase cleanly with acetone/alcohol based solution. Try it on a white board and see for yourself.
I'm just going off of what has worked in other applications and maybe it would work here.

Thanks for the help y'all. So I hit the soles with the acetone a couple more times yesterday and today, are here are the results. 1st pic is what it looks like immediately after finishing, the next pic is what it looks like now. I think I'm gonna stop now. I don't want to overdo it and mess them up. Thanks again.

Lotion also works (I've done it before), but if you put too much, the insole will slip around and it'll feel weird wearing it. Only issue is that once the lotion completely dries out, the squeaking returns.

I want to do it but if you look on the leather of the carmine, it's not our white. I feel like if I do it, the angelus white paint would not be the correct shade as the leather on the shoe.

It's the same white after you spread it around and let it dry. Trust me and the other like 5 people who said it is the same white...just don't take a huge blob of it and dump it on there, because then you'll notice the difference. Take a light amount and smoothen it out with a Q-tip like in the vid I posted/quoted to you earlier and you'll be fine.
Might want to post pics so people can have a better idea on how to help, but this should do.
YMMV
When using acetone, be very gentle as it can damage the PL. Might want to post pics also.

Just wanted to thank the people who take time to post in this thread and help others. I don't have any issues at the moment, but threads like this take some of the fear away from wearing my sneakers in the real world. Thanks everyone!
