There's a crowd called Crep Protect who do products for cleaning and protecting footwear. I've used the protective spray but not the cleaning stuff. Might be worth looking up reviews and stuff and see if it's worth taking a punt on. |

Two things you could try.
1)Acetone (nail polish remover)
Or 2) Mix a tablespoon of baking soda in water till you get a paste and apply it to the marks then rinse it off after a minute
Hope that helps  |

"CIF if u have any r a bot of white tooth paste.
Magic eraser sponges
I tried toothpaste and didn’t work! I’ll have to pick up some cif "
Those eraser sponges are good. The white square ones that take scuffs Mark's off walls. Used on kids air force ones. Come up well |

Is it on the rubber sole? Try nail varnish remover.
If it’s on the upper I spray mine with elbow grease and scrub with a clean damp sponge and then soak in the sink for 2 or so hours with warm almost hot water and a good squirt of thick bleach. Then pop them in a pillowcase and do a normal run in the washing machine. Maybe add a few towels in to avoid banging against the drum but they come out sparkling every time!
I recently bought converse on Depop that were practically new but some staining from seller so I did the above and they are like new now |

"Anyone have any bright ideas on how to get those annoying black marks off white runners?"
If the mark is on the upper use a chemical free cleaner or a leather whitener otherwise any “guarantee” is null and void, the manufacturer may deem you have abused the shoe

They’re over a year old so I don’t expect the manufacturer to give a shite one way or another.
They’re cute and comfy so I just don’t wanna hurt them...also I’m lazy as fuck so I don’t want to have to put much effort in  |

What material are they made of?
They’re leather"
You can try the crep protect. And as soon as you spray it whip definitely don't put in washing machine
Or you can get a white polish and mask it |

Sensodyne pronamel gentle whitening was a no 
Now that I look at them closely, it’s a blue/black mark mostly on the outside edge of the right shoe which I would imagine could be from the car door. Seems more stained than anything.
Is there any hope oh cleaning gods |

I would need to see it. To be able to help more. But I wouldn't use most of the recommendations as you can damage the shoes more |
