FAQs
How do I properly clean the nubuck leather?
For general cleaning, use a specialized nubuck brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a nubuck cleaner according to its instructions, then condition to maintain the leather's texture.
Are these boots waterproof?
No, these boots are not inherently waterproof. The nubuck leather offers some resistance to light moisture, but for protection against rain and spills, it's recommended to apply a waterproof spray designed for nubuck.
Do I need to break in these boots?
Yes, like many quality leather boots, the Kick Hi may require a short break-in period. Wear them for increasing durations to allow the nubuck to mold to your feet, improving comfort.
What size should I choose?
The Kickers Kick Hi Boots generally fit true to size. We recommend purchasing your standard adult UK shoe size for the best fit. This specific model is a UK 10.5.
How long do Kickers Kick Hi Boots typically last?
With proper care and maintenance, including regular cleaning and conditioning, Kickers Kick Hi Boots are built for durability and can last for many years of regular wear.
Can I wear these boots in all weather conditions?
These boots are suitable for most dry to moderately wet conditions. For heavy rain or snow, apply a waterproofing spray. Avoid extreme wetness or harsh chemicals to preserve the nubuck leather.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable
The boots may need a break-in period. Wear them for short durations, gradually increasing wear time. Using a nubuck conditioner can also help soften the leather.
Nubuck looks faded or dirty
Clean the nubuck with a specialized nubuck brush and cleaner. Follow up with a nubuck conditioner or protector to restore its appearance and color.
Boots feel slippery in wet conditions
While the sole offers good grip, extremely wet or icy conditions may reduce traction. Ensure the sole is clean. Consider using a waterproofing spray on the nubuck to prevent water absorption.
Laces fraying or wearing out quickly
Inspect the eyelets for any rough edges that might be causing wear. Replace laces with durable replacements available from shoe care stores or the manufacturer.

- Iconic & Versatile Style: Easily pairs with various casual outfits, from jeans to chinos.
- Comfortable Sole: The chunky rubber sole provides good cushioning and support for daily wear.
- High-Quality Leather: The nubuck upper offers a premium feel and ages gracefully with proper care.
Cons
- Requires Specific Care: Nubuck leather needs regular cleaning and conditioning to maintain its appearance and prevent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup (First Wear):
- Lacing: Unlace the boots sufficiently to comfortably slide your foot in.
- Fit Check: Ensure your heel is secure and your toes have enough room to wiggle. The fit should be snug but not tight.
- Break-in: Wear your boots for short periods initially (e.g., an hour or two) to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot's shape. This minimizes initial discomfort.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: These boots generally run true to standard UK adult sizing. Refer to the size UK 10.5 for accurate fit.
- Styling: Highly versatile, compatible with casual and smart-casual clothing, including jeans, chinos, and even some tailored trousers.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, allow mud or dirt to dry, then gently brush off with a soft brush specifically designed for nubuck. For stubborn marks, use a nubuck cleaner following product instructions.
- Conditioning: To keep the nubuck soft and prevent cracking, apply a specialized nubuck conditioner or protector periodically. This also helps maintain the color.
- Water Protection: While durable, nubuck is not naturally waterproof. For protection against rain and spills, apply a waterproof spray suitable for nubuck leather before first wear and reapply regularly.
- Storage: When not in use, store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not use standard leather polish or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the nubuck finish. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.
