FAQs

What material are these shoes made from?

These Kickers Tovni Lacer shoes feature a high-quality all-black leather upper and a sturdy rubber sole.

Are these shoes suitable for both boys and girls?

Yes, the Kickers Tovni Lacer has a unisex design, making them suitable for all children.

How do I clean my Kickers Tovni Lacer shoes?

Wipe dirt off with a damp cloth. For the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner or black shoe polish to maintain their appearance and cover scuffs. Allow to air dry naturally.

Are these shoes durable enough for daily school wear?

Absolutely. The robust leather upper and sturdy rubber sole are specifically designed to be "kid-proof" and withstand the rigors of daily school activities.

My child finds them a bit stiff initially. Is this normal?

Yes, it's normal for new leather shoes to feel a bit stiff. They will soften and mold to your child's feet with wear, improving comfort.

Can these shoes be used for sports or P.E.?

While durable, these shoes are designed as smart school shoes and are not intended for high-impact sports or P.E. activities. It's best to use appropriate athletic footwear for those purposes.

How do I ensure the correct fit for my child?

Ensure there's about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure, and the sides should not pinch. It's often helpful to try shoes on at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.

What is the UK children's size 5 equivalent in other sizing systems?

> Info needed: Sizing chart or specific conversions are not provided in the product information. It's best to refer to a universal shoe size conversion chart or try the shoes on for an accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house before full-day wear. The leather will soften and mold to the foot with time.

Scuffs or marks appear on the leather upper.

For minor scuffs, a good quality black shoe polish can often cover them effectively. For deeper marks, clean the area and apply multiple thin layers of polish, buffing between applications.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with a different material that offers better grip, though the original laces are designed for durability.

Feet feel sweaty or uncomfortable.

Ensure children are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., cotton or moisture-wicking materials). Allow shoes to air out between wears. If possible, alternate between two pairs of shoes.

Sole appears to be losing its grip.

Inspect the tread for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets.
  2. Fit Adjustment: Loosen laces fully, insert foot, then pull laces snugly from the bottom up, tying a secure bow. The fit should be comfortable, with enough room for toes to wiggle slightly.

Compatibility

  • School Uniforms: These shoes are designed to comply with most school uniform policies requiring all-black, durable footwear.
  • Everyday Wear: While primarily school shoes, their durable construction also makes them suitable for general everyday wear where a smart and robust shoe is needed.

Care

  • Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  • Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  • Polishing: Use black shoe polish to maintain their smart appearance and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a cloth, let dry, then buff to a shine.
  • Drying: If wet, stuff with newspaper and allow to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
