FAQs
Are these boots truly vegan?
Yes, the upper material is PETA and vegan approved and made from 75% plant-based materials, with the remainder being synthetics for durability.
How does the plant-based material compare to traditional leather?
Testing by SATRA shows the plant-based leather meets the same industry durability standards as standard leather products and lasts four to five times longer compared to traditional PU-based products.
How should I clean my Kickers boots?
Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for vegan leather. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat.
What is the environmental impact of the packaging?
The shoeboxes are FSC certified, made from 90% recycled material, printed with natural soya ink, and are 100% recyclable.
Can I wear these for hiking or sports?
These boots are designed for everyday casual wear and are not intended for strenuous athletic activities or rough outdoor hiking.
What is the typical lifespan of these boots?
The plant-based material is designed to last four to five times longer than traditional PU products, indicating a significantly extended lifespan with proper care.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow the material to adapt to your foot. Consider using thicker socks for a slightly snugger feel during the break-in period.
Material appears to be scuffing or showing wear.
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized cleaner for vegan leather. Apply a protective spray regularly to help prevent future scuffs.
Boots are wet after exposure to rain.
Remove excess water with a dry cloth. Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.
