While the leather uppers offer some natural resistance to moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For better protection in wet conditions, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent leather protector spray.
UK size 12 refers to a children's shoe size. It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to Kickers' specific size guide, as sizing can vary slightly between brands. Ensure there's adequate room for the toes and a snug, but not tight, fit around the instep.
While the thick rubber sole offers good grip, these shoes are designed for general everyday wear and school, not for high-impact sports. For dedicated athletic activities, proper sports footwear should be worn to provide adequate support and cushioning.
With proper care and depending on the child's activity level, these shoes are designed for durability and can last a full school year or more. Regular cleaning and polishing will help extend their lifespan significantly.
The rubber sole can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn marks, a mild household cleaner can be used, but ensure it does not come into contact with the leather upper.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Leather will soften and mold to your foot shape over time. Thick socks can help during the break-in period.
Clean the shoes thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Then, apply a suitable black leather polish using a soft cloth, allowing it to dry before buffing to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
A squeak can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the sole material settling; continue wearing them, and it often resolves itself.
Ensure the hook-and-loop (velcro) fasteners are free of lint and debris, which can reduce their grip. Clean them periodically with a brush or pick. If the strap is heavily worn, contact the manufacturer or a shoe repair specialist for potential replacement options.
Your Kickers FRAGMA STRAP shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unfasten the strap, slide your foot in, and adjust the strap for a comfortable, secure fit. For the best initial experience, ensure socks are worn to prevent rubbing.
These shoes are specifically designed for kids (UK size 12) and are generally compatible with most school uniform regulations due to their classic black leather Derby style. They are a versatile choice for both school and smart casual occasions.
