FAQs

How do I clean the leather on these shoes?

Wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.

What is 'scuff-resistant' leather?

Scuff-resistant leather is specially treated or coated to provide a more durable surface that resists scratches and abrasions better than standard leather, helping the shoes maintain their appearance for longer.

Can these shoes be worn for sports?

While they have a sporty silhouette and are durable for active wear, they are primarily designed as everyday and school shoes, not specialized athletic footwear for high-impact sports. For intense sports, dedicated athletic shoes are recommended.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made from synthetic material, providing good grip and durability for everyday wear.

Are these shoes suitable for both boys and girls?

Yes, the Kickers Tovni Lo Lace shoes feature a unisex design, making them suitable for both boys and girls.

How do I ensure I choose the correct size?

Refer to the standard UK children's shoe sizing. It's best to measure the wearer's foot and compare it to a Kickers sizing chart for the most accurate fit. Always try on shoes with the type of socks typically worn.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Check if the laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are too slick or frayed.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage the wearer to wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure the correct size has been chosen.

Visible scuffs or marks appear despite being 'scuff-resistant'.

While scuff-resistant, severe impact can still leave marks. Clean the area with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of black leather polish or cream, rubbing gently in circular motions before buffing.

Shoes develop an odor.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing). Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: The scuff-resistant leather is built to withstand rigorous daily use by active children.
  • All-Day Comfort: The cushion foam footbed significantly enhances comfort, reducing foot fatigue.
  • Versatile Style: Easily transitions from school wear to casual outfits due to its classic black and sporty design.
  • Easy to Clean: Leather upper is generally simple to wipe clean.
  • Quality Construction: Backed by the reputable Kickers brand, known for reliable footwear.

Cons

  • Requires Maintenance: Leather material benefits from regular cleaning and occasional polishing to retain its appearance.
  • Initial Break-in Period: Like many new shoes, they might require a short period of wear to fully conform to the foot.
  • Lace-up Design: Requires tying, which may be a consideration for very young children still learning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unboxing: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Ensure the woven cotton laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Adjust tension evenly across the foot.
  3. Initial Fit: Have the wearer try on the shoes with their usual socks to ensure a comfortable and secure fit before first use.

Compatibility:

  • Age Group: Primarily designed for kids.
  • Gender: Unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
  • Usage: Ideal for school wear, active play, and general daily use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust after each use.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply sparingly and wipe clean.
  3. Scuff Management: While scuff-resistant, minor scuffs can be minimized with a matching black shoe polish or cream. Apply with a soft cloth, let dry, then buff to a shine.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the shoes in water.
