Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Lacing Your Shoes
Properly lacing your Kickers Tovni Lacer shoes ensures a secure and comfortable fit. Here's a standard criss-cross method:
- Initial Threading: Thread the lace through the bottom two eyelets from the outside in, ensuring equal length on both sides.
- First Cross: Take the left lace, cross it over, and thread it under and up through the next eyelet on the right side.
- Second Cross: Take the right lace, cross it over, and thread it under and up through the next eyelet on the left side.
- Repeat: Continue this criss-cross pattern until all eyelets are used.
- Secure Knot: Finish by tying a double knot or a secure bow to prevent laces from coming undone during activity.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for junior school-aged children and are available in UK Size 3. Their classic black colour and smart patent finish make them highly compatible with typical school uniform policies. They are suitable for everyday school wear, formal school events, and light recreational activities within the school environment.
Care
To ensure your Kickers Tovni Lacer shoes maintain their appearance and last longer, follow these care instructions:
- Clean Patent Leather Regularly: Wipe the patent leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For a deeper shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a tiny amount of petroleum jelly on a soft cloth, then buff gently.
- Air Dry: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Maintain Shape: Stuff the shoes with newspaper if they get very wet to help them retain their original shape as they dry.
- Sole Care: Keep the vulcanised sole clean by wiping it with a damp cloth to remove mud or debris.
- Lace Inspection: Periodically check the laces for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace them if necessary to maintain a secure fit.
