FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

Yes, the Kickers Tovni Lacer Patent Shoes are specifically designed with a durable vulcanised sole and a smart patent leather upper, making them ideal for the demands of daily school life.

How do I ensure the patent leather stays shiny?

Regularly wipe the shoes with a damp cloth, then buff with a dry, soft cloth. For an extra shine boost, use a patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly on a soft cloth, then gently buff.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the patent leather provides a good level of resistance to light moisture and splashes, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water.

What is the heel height of these shoes?

These shoes feature a flat heel (under 2.5cm), designed for comfort and natural foot positioning during extended wear.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces are replaceable. You can use standard black shoe laces of an appropriate length, available from most shoe stores or online retailers, if your original laces become worn.

Are these shoes heavy?

No, according to the product information, these shoes are lightweight, weighing approximately 0.5 kg, contributing to comfort for all-day wear.

Is the sizing accurate to standard UK children's sizes?

Kickers generally follow standard UK sizing. We recommend checking Kickers' official sizing chart and measuring the child's foot to ensure the most accurate fit for a UK Size 4.

Troubleshooting

Patent leather appears dull or lacks shine.

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of patent leather conditioner or a mild household cleaner (like window cleaner) to a soft cloth and gently buff the surface. Follow with a clean, dry cloth to restore the gloss.

Laces frequently come untied or wear out quickly.

Ensure you are tying the laces with a secure knot, such as a double knot. If the laces are worn, frayed, or excessively smooth, consider replacing them with new, more durable laces of the correct length.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Verify that the shoe size is correct (UK Size 4). Ensure laces are not overtightened. If feet swell during the day, try loosening the laces. For minor tightness, a shoe stretcher or wearing them for short periods may help. If they are consistently uncomfortable, they may be the wrong size.

Scratches or scuffs appear on the patent leather.

For light surface scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, clean cloth. For deeper scratches, specialized patent leather repair kits may offer some improvement, but severe damage to patent leather can be difficult to fully repair. Prevention by avoiding abrasive surfaces is key.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking can sometimes come from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. If the squeak persists, it might be the sole material against the ground, which can lessen with wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup No complex setup is required for your Kickers Tovni Lacer shoes. Simply thread the laces through the eyelets and tie them to your preferred tightness for a comfortable and secure fit. Adjust as needed throughout the day. ### Compatibility These shoes are designed for junior wear (age group: kids) and are a UK Size 4. They are compatible with standard school uniforms and smart casual attire. The regular shoe width accommodates most foot types. ### Care - Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the patent leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. - Maintaining Shine: For best results, use a specialist patent leather cleaner. Alternatively, a small amount of mild soap diluted in water on a soft cloth can be used. Gently rub in circular motions, then wipe clean and buff with a dry, soft cloth. - Scuff Marks: For minor scuffs, a patent leather repair product or a very small dab of petroleum jelly gently rubbed in can help minimize their appearance. - 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 cause the patent leather to crack or stiffen. - Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a stiff brush and mild soap to remove embedded dirt and maintain grip. - Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. - Lace Maintenance: Periodically check laces for fraying or wear and replace them as needed to ensure a secure fit.
