Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot. For persistent issues, re-check the shoe size against your child's foot measurements.
Laces frequently come undone.
Teach your child to double-knot the laces. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets, as improper lacing can lead to loosening.
Scuff marks appear on the faux leather.
Clean the area with a damp cloth. For more persistent scuffs, use a faux leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly, then wipe off excess. Consider using a synthetic shoe polish for black shoes.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes happen with new shoes or if moisture gets trapped. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture. If the squeak persists, check if the sole is separating.

Care
Maintaining your Kickers TOVNI LACER VEGAN School Shoes will extend their lifespan and keep them looking good.
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the faux leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and then wipe clean.
- Scuff Marks: For minor scuffs on faux leather, a specialized synthetic shoe polish or balm can help to restore the finish. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the material.
- Odor Control: Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
