FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all school uniforms?

The Kickers Tovni Lacer Vegan School Shoes are black, low-top, and flat-heeled, which generally makes them suitable for most school uniform policies. However, it's always best to check your specific school's footwear requirements.

How do I clean the faux leather material?

Wipe the faux leather clean with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These shoes are not explicitly designed as waterproof. While the faux leather offers some resistance to light moisture, heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water may lead to water seeping in. For wet conditions, consider adding a water-repellent spray designed for synthetic materials. > Info needed: Manufacturer's specific water resistance rating.

Do these shoes come in half sizes?

Based on the available product information, these shoes are offered in full UK children's sizes. Please refer to the size chart if available, or consult the retailer for precise sizing details.

What is the sole made of?

The sole of the Kickers Tovni Lacer Vegan School Shoes is made from durable rubber, providing good grip and long-lasting wear.

Can these shoes be polished like leather shoes?

No, these shoes are made of faux leather and do not require traditional shoe polish. Polishing with wax-based polishes meant for genuine leather can damage the material. Stick to wiping clean with a damp cloth or using cleaners specifically designed for synthetic materials.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are using a double knot when tying the laces. For younger children, consider teaching them to double knot or using slightly longer laces to make double knotting easier.

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lacing. For a tighter fit, pull the laces firmly through each eyelet before tying. For a looser fit, gently loosen the laces from the bottom eyelets upwards. Ensure socks worn are of an appropriate thickness.

Scuff marks on the faux leather.

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a small amount of mild shoe cleaner designed for synthetic materials can be used, followed by wiping clean with a damp cloth.

Soles seem slippery.

Check the rubber soles for excessive wear, especially on the tread. Ensure the soles are clean from mud, dirt, or debris that might reduce traction. If wear is significant, consider professional repair or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Upon receiving your Kickers Tovni Lacer Vegan School Shoes, simply unlace them to loosen, slide your child's foot in, and then lace them up to achieve a comfortable, snug fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely to prevent tripping.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed as classic school footwear, making them highly compatible with most school uniform policies that require black, low-top, flat-heeled shoes. Their unisex design means they are suitable for both boys and girls.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your vegan school shoes:

  1. 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 with a fresh damp cloth.
  2. Drying: If the 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 or tumble dryers, as this can damage the material.
  3. Sole Care: Clean the rubber soles with a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove embedded dirt and maintain grip.
  4. Lace Care: Periodically check laces for wear and tear. Replace them if they become frayed or damaged to ensure continued secure fastening.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
