FAQs

How do I best clean these leather boots?

For daily maintenance, wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, then buff dry. Always follow with a leather conditioner.

Are Kickers Kick Hi boots waterproof?

While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. For wet conditions, we recommend applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather footwear.

What should I do if my boots feel tight initially?

New leather boots often feel snug. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to stretch and mold to your feet. Thicker socks can also help with the break-in process.

How long do Kickers Kick Hi boots typically last?

With proper care and maintenance, Kickers Kick Hi boots are known for their durability and can last for many years due to their high-quality leather and robust construction.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces are designed to be replaceable. You can purchase standard boot laces of similar thickness and length to refresh the look or replace worn laces.

Is the leather floret removable?

Yes, the leather floret is typically attached to the laces and can be removed if you prefer a simpler look, or reattached easily.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Clean the leather thoroughly and apply a quality leather conditioner, working it into the material in small circular motions.

Scuff marks on the leather

For light scuffs, use a leather cleaner followed by a matching black shoe polish. For deeper marks, professional repair might be necessary.

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable

Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Regular wear and consistent leather conditioning will help soften the material over time.

Squeaking sound when walking

Sometimes, moisture or friction between the insole and the sole can cause squeaking. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of baby powder underneath, then replace the insole.

Laces frequently come untied

Ensure you are using a secure double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, sturdy laces designed for boots.

Cons

  • Requires Leather Care: To maintain their appearance, the leather needs regular cleaning and conditioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Begin by fully unlacing the boots.
  2. Fitting: Slip your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
  3. Tightening: Thread the laces through the metal eyelets, pulling them taut but not uncomfortably tight. Ensure even tension across the foot for optimal support.
  4. Tying: Secure the laces with a double knot.

Compatibility:

These Kick Hi boots are designed as versatile casual and semi-casual footwear for adults. They pair well with a wide array of clothing, including denim, corduroys, and cargo pants, making them suitable for various social and personal settings. They are not specifically designed for athletic performance or extreme weather conditions, but their robust construction offers good protection in typical everyday environments.

Care Instructions:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a suitable leather protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months, or more frequently if the leather appears dry or dull, to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Polishing: Use a black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
  5. Sole Care: Clean the chunky sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove mud and debris.
  6. Drying: If wet, allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  7. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
