FAQs
What does BCI Better Cotton Initiative mean for the laces?
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It's a global not-for-profit organization 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. The laces made with BCI cotton support more sustainable farming practices.
Is the shoebox recyclable?
Yes, Kickers shoeboxes are 100% recyclable. They are FSC certified, made from 90% recycled material, and use natural soya ink for printing.
What percentage of the outsole is made from recycled materials?
The Tovni outsoles are made from 15% recycled material.
Is this specific variant (Low-Top Trainers) a vegan product?
While Kickers mentions the use of plant-based materials and offers specific vegan Tovni variants, the provided product description for these 'Low-Top Trainers' does not explicitly state the material of the upper. Therefore, we cannot confirm if this specific model is vegan based on the information provided.
How should I clean my black Tovni trainers?
Gently wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth for everyday cleaning. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities or sports?
The Kickers Tovni Low-Top Trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes. While durable, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance athletic activities or sports.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods, gradually increasing wear time to allow them to 'break-in' and adapt to your foot shape.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. Check if the laces are tied too loosely or too tightly for your activity level.
Scuffs or minor marks appear on the surface.
For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more noticeable scuffs, a specialized footwear cleaner suitable for the specific upper material (if known) can be used, following product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.
Remove the trainers after wear to allow them to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then removed), or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and odor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Getting the most out of your Kickers Tovni Low-Top Trainers involves proper initial setup, understanding their compatibility, and routine care.
Setup
- Lacing: Upon receiving, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and tied securely to your comfort. You may wish to experiment with different lacing patterns for a personalized fit and look.
- Initial Wear: Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to conform to the shape of your feet. This 'break-in' period helps ensure maximum comfort.

- Gender Neutral: Designed for unisex wear, they are compatible with personal styles across all genders.

Care
- Cleaning the Upper: For general dirt and dust, gently wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Laces: If the BCI cotton laces become soiled, they can typically be hand washed separately with mild detergent and air-dried.
- Outsole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the outsole treads.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
