FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for daily school wear?
Yes, their durable construction, including the vulcanized sole and robust patent leather, makes them ideal for the demands of daily school activities.
How do I maintain the shine of the patent leather?
Regularly wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For a deeper shine, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The patent leather upper provides good water resistance against light rain or splashes, but the shoes are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
What is a vulcanized sole?
A vulcanized sole is made from rubber that has undergone a curing process with heat and sulfur, resulting in a stronger, more flexible, and durable bond that enhances grip and longevity.
Do these shoes come in other sizes?
Yes, the Kickers Tovni Lacer series is available in a range of children's sizes to accommodate different age groups.
Can I use regular shoe polish on patent leather?
No, regular shoe polish is not suitable for patent leather. It can leave a dull film or even damage the finish. Always use products specifically designed for patent leather.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks on patent leather.
Gently wipe the scuff with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, apply a small amount of patent leather cleaner to a lint-free cloth and buff lightly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are tying a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces.
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Patent leather can be stiff at first. Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to break them in. Wearing thicker socks initially can also help.
Soles appear to be losing grip.
Ensure the soles are clean of dirt and debris, as this can reduce traction. If the tread is significantly worn, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Lacing: Upon first wear, ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Tie them securely to provide a snug, yet comfortable, fit that supports the foot.
- Fit Check: Have the wearer stand to ensure there's about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility:
- These shoes are highly compatible with most school uniform policies due to their classic black color and minimal, traditional design.
- They are suitable for everyday school wear, from classroom settings to playground activities.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Patent Leather: Wipe the patent leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks or to restore shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or brushes, as these can scratch the surface.
- Sole Care: Clean the vulcanized sole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove mud and debris, which helps maintain its grip.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture if worn frequently.
