How can I remove sticky label residue off leather? My new leather shoes had a paper label inside, on the leather insole, with the sale price on, but when I tried to peel it off it has left a really sticky patch. The leather is soft, almost like nubuck and very pale colour

There is a product called "Goo Gone", you can usually buy it at a hardware or department store, it will remove any residue, anything sticky, even wax without hurting the material. I use it for removing anything sticky. (09/07/2006)

I agree... Goo Gone. It's great and good in your situation since the goo is on a surface that doesn't show. (09/11/2006)

Don't invest in a costly product to remove sticker tag go. Just used denatured alcohol on a soft cloth and gently rubbed it off my $300 lambs leather bag.
I tried alcohol to get rid of the sticky places on my leather couch, but it started to take the dye off. Later tried WD40 and it is better than new!
Goo gone specifically says do NOT use on leather or silk
