FAQs
Are these Kickers trainers truly vegan?
Yes, the Kickers Tovni Lacer Vegan Trainers are certified vegan, meaning they are made entirely without animal-derived materials, from the synthetic upper to the glues and dyes used in their construction.
How do these trainers fit compared to other brands?
Kickers sizing generally aligns with standard UK shoe sizes. We recommend trying your usual UK adult shoe size. The lace-up closure also allows for some adjustability to fine-tune the fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Please follow the care instructions for hand cleaning the synthetic upper and textile lining.
Are these suitable for all weather conditions?
The synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or snow, additional protection or specialized footwear would be recommended. They are versatile for various seasons in dry conditions.
What is the best way to clean the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole can be cleaned using a stiff brush or an old toothbrush with water and a little mild soap to remove dirt and debris. This helps maintain traction and appearance.
Are replacement laces available?
Yes, standard flat laces of similar length (Info needed: [approximate lace length in cm/inches]) can be purchased from most shoe accessory retailers if you need to replace them.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up closure. Loosen laces if too tight, or pull them firmer for a snugger fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider if a different size might be more suitable.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. Ensure the insole is seated correctly.
Scuff marks on the synthetic upper.
For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a small amount of mild soap on a damp cloth can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Specialized synthetic shoe cleaners are also available.
Odor developing inside the trainers.
Ensure trainers are fully aired out after each wear. Remove insoles if possible to allow them to dry. Sprinkling baking soda inside and leaving overnight can help absorb odors. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also prevent odor buildup.
