Designed for adults seeking a blend of classic style, everyday comfort, and lasting durability, the Kickers Tovni Lacer Trainers in black leather offer a versatile footwear solution. Their key win is the combination of a plush cushioned footbed and MicroFresh technology for all-day wearability without compromise.

FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Kickers generally run true to size. For this specific model (UK 6), we recommend ordering your standard adult UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

How do I clean the leather upper?

To clean the leather, first wipe off any loose dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth. Then, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner. Wipe gently, then buff dry with a clean, soft cloth. Condition regularly to keep the leather supple.

Is the MicroFresh technology permanent?

MicroFresh technology is designed to provide long-lasting odor protection. While its effectiveness can diminish slightly over the very long term with extensive wear and washing, it remains highly effective throughout the typical lifespan of the trainers, continuously inhibiting odor-causing bacteria.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

The leather upper provides some natural resistance, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. For added protection, you can apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and to complement the MicroFresh technology, we recommend wearing breathable socks made from cotton or moisture-wicking synthetic blends. This will help manage internal moisture and further enhance foot freshness.

Are replacement laces available?

While the trainers come with durable laces, if you need replacements, generic flat laces of a similar length and width will usually work. Kickers may also offer branded replacement laces; check with your retailer or the manufacturer's website. Info needed: [Exact lace length and type]

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Using thick socks or applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material and allow it to conform to your foot more quickly.

Despite MicroFresh, the shoes still develop an odor.

While MicroFresh technology significantly reduces odor, it doesn't eliminate it entirely in all conditions. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable. Remove insoles occasionally and air out the shoes. Consider using shoe fresheners or cedar shoe trees when not wearing them.

The laces frequently come untied.

Ensure you are tying a proper square knot (starting with left over right, then right over left). Double-knotting can also provide extra security. Check that the laces are not worn or frayed; replace them if they are.

Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the leather.

For light scuffs, you can often buff them out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a matching leather polish or balm can help to conceal the mark and restore the leather's appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

  • Not Waterproof: While durable, leather trainers are generally not fully waterproof and require protection in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Kickers Tovni Lacer Trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness using the metal eyelets, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. Take a few short walks to allow the leather to begin molding to your foot shape.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adults and are sized at UK 6. Their classic black leather aesthetic makes them highly versatile for:

  • Everyday Wear: Perfect for casual outfits, jeans, and chinos.
  • School/Work Uniforms: A smart and durable option for educational or professional environments requiring black footwear.
  • Smart Casual Events: Can be dressed up or down for various social occasions.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather trainers, follow these care steps:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are exposed to elements.
  4. Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove mud and debris, maintaining traction.
  5. Odor Maintenance: While `MicroFresh` technology helps, occasionally remove the insoles (if removable) and air out the trainers to maintain freshness.
  6. Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  7. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
