FAQs
How do I clean the patent leather on these shoes?
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks or to restore the shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaning product. Avoid using standard shoe polish or abrasive cleaners.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the Kickers Tovni Lacer are specifically designed with durability and comfort in mind for daily school use, making them an excellent choice for uniforms.
How should I ensure the best fit for my child?
Measure your child's feet accurately and compare to the Kickers size chart. Always try them on with the socks your child typically wears, ensuring a thumb's width of space at the toe and a comfortable, secure heel fit without rubbing.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the patent leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water to protect the material and stitching.
What should I do if the shoes get scuffed?
For minor scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, damp cloth or a small amount of patent leather cleaner. For more noticeable damage, a patent leather repair kit might be able to help restore the finish.
Can these shoes be worn for sports activities?
These shoes are designed for general school wear and light activities. They are not intended for rigorous sports or athletic activities that require specialized sports footwear for support and traction.
How long do these shoes typically last?
With proper care and maintenance, Kickers shoes are known for their durability. The lifespan will vary based on usage intensity and adherence to care instructions, but they are built to withstand the demands of daily school life.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure a double knot is used. Consider trying different lacing techniques, such as a 'surgeon's knot', for improved security and tightness throughout the day.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods around the house before full-day use. The leather will gradually soften and conform to their foot shape.
Scuff marks appear on the patent leather.
For light scuffs, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small dab of petroleum jelly, buffing gently with a clean, soft cloth. For deeper damage, a patent leather repair kit may be necessary.
Shoes lose their shine.
Clean the shoes thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Then, use a patent leather-specific cleaner and conditioner, or a very small amount of petroleum jelly, applied with a soft cloth and buffed gently to restore the high-shine finish.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Recheck the sizing against a current foot measurement. For minor adjustments, ensure laces are tied appropriately – tighter for a more snug fit, or slightly looser if feeling too restrictive. Ensure the correct type and thickness of socks are being worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Before first wear, thread the laces through all eyelets. Ensure even tension and tie a secure double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during activity.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning Patent Leather: Wipe the shoes regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For a brighter shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly on a soft cloth, buffing gently.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or regular shoe polish, as these can damage the patent leather finish.
- Scuff Marks: For minor scuffs, a gentle rub with a soft cloth and patent leather cleaner may help. For deeper marks, consider a patent leather repair kit.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
