Getting started with your Kickers Tovni Lacer Trainers is straightforward:

- Adjust: Put on the trainers and adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit across the top of your foot. Tie them securely.

- Gender: Designed for adult males, but their classic style makes them suitable for anyone seeking this size and aesthetic.
- Style: Versatile enough for a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, from jeans to chinos.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Conditioning: After cleaning, apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream. This helps keep the leather supple, prevents drying and cracking, and maintains its natural sheen.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Odour Control: While MicroFresh technology helps, periodically air out your trainers after wear. Consider using shoe trees or cedar inserts to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Sole Care: Inspect the rubber sole periodically for embedded debris and clean as needed with a brush.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use a shoe bag if desired to protect them from dust.
