FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray for enhanced water resistance, especially if you anticipate exposure to rain.

How do I clean the leather?

For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for footwear. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and condition the leather afterward.

What is MicroFresh technology?

MicroFresh is an antimicrobial treatment applied to the shoe's lining or footbed. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that cause foot odor, keeping your trainers fresher for longer.

Can I wear these for sports?

While they are called 'trainers,' the Kickers Tovni Lacer are designed for casual everyday wear and comfort, not for high-performance sports like running, basketball, or intense gym workouts. Their construction is optimized for urban walking and leisure.

Are they true to size?

Kickers Tovni Lacer Trainers generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

How long does the MicroFresh technology last?

MicroFresh technology is designed to be long-lasting, helping to keep odors at bay for the lifespan of the shoe under normal use. Regular airing and proper care will help maintain its effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.

Leather can take time to soften and mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Adjust lacing to ensure it's not overly tight across the top of your foot.

Odor returns despite MicroFresh technology.

While MicroFresh is effective, it's not permanent. Ensure you air out your trainers after each use. You can also clean the footbed with a mild shoe deodorizer or a mixture of baking soda and water to refresh the interior.

Scuffs or marks on the leather upper.

Clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, apply a small amount of matching shoe polish or a leather cream, buffing gently with a soft cloth. Regularly conditioning the leather can also make it more resilient to minor marks.

Sole seems to be losing grip.

Ensure the soles are clean from mud or debris that might reduce traction. For extreme wear, the rubber sole might naturally degrade over time, but regular cleaning helps maintain its surface integrity.

Laces frequently come untied.

Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). Check the condition of the laces; worn or overly slick laces may need to be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lasting Freshness: MicroFresh technology keeps odors at bay.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Cushion foam footbed supports all-day wear.
  • Durable Construction: Leather upper and rubber sole ensure longevity.
  • Classic Versatility: Black leather design is suitable for various casual to semi-casual outfits.
  • Secure Fit: Lace-up design allows for personalized adjustment.

Cons

  • Specific Care Needed: Leather material requires proper cleaning and conditioning to maintain its quality.
  • Limited Breathability: Compared to mesh trainers, leather may offer less airflow in very warm conditions.
  • Initial Break-in: Leather can be stiff initially and may require a short break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Kickers Tovni Lacer Trainers come ready to wear. Simply unlace them, slide your feet in, and then lace them up to your desired comfort and security. Ensure laces are snug but not too tight to allow for natural foot movement.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adults and compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing. They are suitable for most urban and light outdoor environments. They are available in UK size 8 (for this specific product, but other sizes exist as per variants) and are generally true to size for adult male sizing.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  4. Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Odor Management: The MicroFresh technology works continuously. For optimal performance, allow shoes to air out after wear and clean the interior periodically with a gentle fabric cleaner if needed, though the technology helps minimize this.
