FAQs
What does 'BCI Laces' mean?
BCI stands for the Better Cotton Initiative. It's a global not-for-profit organisation that exists to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in and better for the sector’s future.
Are these trainers made from vegan materials?
These trainers feature plant-based material (75% plant-based components from non-food corn and cereals) and viscose for the remaining components. While largely plant-derived, the description does not explicitly state 'vegan' for all adhesives and components. If 100% vegan certification is critical, please consult the product label or retailer directly.
Are the shoeboxes recyclable?
Yes, Kickers shoeboxes for this product are FSC certified, made from 90% recycled material, use natural soya ink, and are 100% recyclable. Please dispose of them responsibly.
What type of activities are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are ideal for everyday casual wear, commuting, and light recreational activities where comfort, durability, and a classic style are desired. They are not specifically designed for high-performance sports.
How should I clean the plant-based material on the trainers?
For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution on a cloth can be used. Always allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools. Info needed: For specific cleaning product recommendations for plant-based materials, please refer to the manufacturer's website or care tag.
What is my shoe size?
This specific product is a UK 6.5 adult shoe size. Always ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.
What are the outsoles made from?
The Tovni outsoles are crafted from a durable material that includes 15% recycled content, contributing to the product's overall sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are tying your BCI laces with a secure double knot. Sometimes new laces can be slicker and require a tighter knot to stay put throughout the day.
Trainers feel a bit stiff upon first wear.
This is normal for new footwear, especially with durable materials like plant-based components and viscose. Wear them for short durations around the house for a few days to allow them to naturally break in and mould to your foot shape.
Minor scuffs or marks appear on the material.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a small amount of mild soap on the cloth can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the surface.
Trainer interior feels less fresh after extended wear.
The 100% recycled mesh lining is designed for breathability, but regular wear can lead to odour build-up. Remove insoles occasionally to air them out, and consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight.

Care Instructions
Maintaining your trainers will ensure they look good and last longer. Given the mix of plant-based, recycled mesh, and viscose materials, a gentle approach is recommended.
- General Cleaning: For surface dirt and dust, gently wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing which could damage the materials.
- Stain Removal: For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) on a clean cloth and gently dab the affected area. Avoid saturating the shoe.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Lace Care: The BCI laces can be hand-washed separately with mild soap if they become particularly dirty.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
