FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for school uniforms?

Yes, with their smart black leather upper and classic design, Kickers Tovni Lacer shoes are an excellent choice for school uniforms, meeting most school dress code requirements.

How do I clean leather Kickers shoes?

Wipe them with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Finish with black shoe polish to restore shine and cover scuffs.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water. A waterproof spray specifically designed for leather can add an extra layer of protection.

What is the best way to break in new leather shoes?

Wear them for short periods around the house before wearing them for an entire day. Thick socks can help. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or visiting a cobbler for professional stretching.

What size UK 2 corresponds to in other sizing systems?

A UK 2 for children is typically equivalent to a US 2.5 Kids or an EU 34-35. However, sizing can vary slightly between brands, so always refer to a detailed size chart if available, or measure your child's foot.

Can these shoes be worn for sports?

These shoes are designed for daily wear and general activities. While sturdy, they are not specialized athletic shoes and are not recommended for high-impact sports or activities that require specific sports footwear features.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Using thick socks or a shoe stretcher can help soften the leather.

Leather appears dull or scuffed

Clean the shoes thoroughly with a damp cloth. Apply a suitable leather conditioner to moisturize the leather, then use black shoe polish to restore shine and cover scuffs. Buff with a clean cloth.

Squeaking sound when walking

Squeaking can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe before replacing the insole. If the squeak is from the sole, it may indicate a manufacturing issue or wear.

Shoes develop an odor

Ensure shoes are aired out regularly after wear. Remove insoles if possible to allow for better ventilation. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda, or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Laces constantly come undone

Ensure you are using a double knot when tying the laces. If the laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces that offer better grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: Built to withstand the demands of active children, offering long-lasting wear.
  • Smart, Classic Style: Versatile black leather design perfect for school uniforms or formal occasions.
  • Secure and Adjustable Fit: Lace-up system allows for a snug, supportive fit that can be adapted as needed.
  • Reliable Traction: Rubber outsole provides good grip on different surfaces, reducing slips.

Cons

  • Requires Regular Care: Leather material needs consistent cleaning and conditioning to maintain its appearance and prevent damage.
  • Break-in Period: Like most new leather shoes, they may require a short break-in period to achieve maximum comfort.
  • Limited Breathability: Leather can be less breathable than some synthetic materials, which might be a consideration in very warm weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Lacing: Begin by threading the laces through the lowest eyelets, ensuring equal length on both sides. Crisscross the laces over one another, feeding them through the next pair of eyelets from the outside in. Continue this pattern up to the top eyelets. Finish with a secure double knot.
  2. Initial Fit: When trying them on for the first time, ensure your child's longest toe has about a thumb's width of space between it and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel snug but not restrictive.

Compatibility

  • Size: These shoes are a UK 2, suitable for children requiring this specific shoe size.
  • Gender: Designed as a unisex shoe, appropriate for both boys and girls.
  • Activity: Best suited for daily wear, school, and light recreational activities. Not designed for intense sports or highly specialized athletic performance.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will significantly extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner following the product's instructions.
  2. Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., monthly, or as needed based on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  4. Polishing: Use black shoe polish to cover scuffs and restore shine. Apply a small amount with a cloth, let it dry, then buff to a shine.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
