FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

Yes, the Kickers Tovni Lacer Youth Shoes are specifically designed for daily school wear, offering a durable construction and a smart, uniform-appropriate all-black appearance.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Regularly wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For a lasting shine and protection, apply a black leather polish with a soft brush or cloth and then buff it off.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the leather material offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather footwear.

What is the recommended age group for these shoes?

These are 'Youth Shoes' and are designed for children, typically suitable for primary and early secondary school ages, depending on shoe size.

How can I ensure the best fit for my child?

We recommend measuring your child's feet accurately and consulting the Kickers sizing chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.

Can these shoes be used for sports activities?

While durable for general active play and everyday school use, these are not specialized athletic shoes. For dedicated sports, we recommend appropriate sports footwear designed for specific activities.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are using a double knot when tying the laces. If the problem persists, consider trying a different lacing technique or replacing the laces with a material that offers more friction.

Leather appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the area with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable black leather polish. Use a soft brush or cloth to buff the polish into the leather, restoring shine and covering minor scuffs. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather repair product may be needed.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

New leather shoes often require a break-in period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Thicker socks can provide cushioning during this phase. The leather will soften over time.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Slipping on smooth or wet surfaces.

While the rubber sole offers good grip, extreme conditions can reduce traction. Ensure the soles are clean of debris. Advise your child to walk cautiously on very smooth or wet surfaces. If soles are excessively worn, it may be time for new shoes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets strict school uniform policies with its all-black leather design.
  • Highly durable construction capable of withstanding daily wear and tear.
  • Sturdy rubber sole provides reliable traction and support.
  • Classic and smart appearance suitable for formal school settings.
  • Adjustable lacing allows for a secure and comfortable fit.

Cons

  • Leather material requires regular cleaning and polishing to maintain its look.
  • May require a short break-in period to achieve maximum comfort.
  • Laces can come untied if not securely double-knotted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Tie them securely, preferably with a double knot, to prevent them from coming undone during activity.
  2. Fit Check: Have your child try on the shoes with their usual school socks. Check for adequate toe room (about a thumb's width) and ensure the heel doesn't slip when walking.

Compatibility

  • These shoes are designed primarily as school footwear, compatible with most all-black uniform requirements.
  • Their robust design also makes them suitable for general daily wear outside of school hours.

Care Instructions

  1. Daily Wipe Down: After each wear, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Allow to air dry.
  2. Regular Polishing: Apply a good quality black leather polish (cream or wax) using a soft brush or cloth. Allow it to soak in, then buff to a shine with a clean cloth.
  3. Drying Wet Shoes: If the shoes get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack the leather.
  4. Sole Maintenance: Periodically check the rubber soles for embedded debris (like small stones) and remove them to maintain grip.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape and absorb moisture.
