This is dye transfer, so unfortunately traditional suede cleaning methods like using white vinegar won't do the trick. The only way to clean it is to get Carbona or Rit color run remover. You can find it inexpensively at most big discounters in the laundry aisle. Do not pour it or any other liquids directly on the suede or you will have a water stain mark which is next to impossible to remove. Instead, dampen a terry towel (you need the nap) and blot rubbing gently across the suede. The color will transfer to the towel, so keep moving it to a fresh, clean area. When you think you've got it all removed, use the terry towel in a clean area to "brush" up the nap and allow them to dry. (You can expedite drying with a blow dryer or throw them in on a rack in the dryer on the delicate cycle.) To remove the dye on the terry towel, throw it in a load with more of either color run remover.
try a suede cleaner on them and if that doesnt work tell your mom she owes you new shoes!
I am not sure if it will work, but you can try using a suede cleaning kit. You can usually find them at shoe stores, or in the shoe department at stores like Target (or big department stores like Sears of JC Penney).
Suede cleaning kits have a mild shampoo that you apply and then brush in. They also include a separate brush so you can brush after it is dry to return the nap to the suede.
You might want to try just a tiny bit on the blue before you do the whole thing. I am afraid it might leave a purply color behind, so spot test first.
I hope that will help.
