FAQs
How should I clean my Kickers Kick Hi Classic boots?
Wipe them clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.
What type of leather is used, and where does it come from?
The leather used comes from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), ensuring responsible environmental practices in leather production.
Are the shoeboxes recyclable?
Yes, the Kickers shoeboxes are made from 90% recycled material, use natural soya ink, are FSC certified, and are 100% recyclable.
How should I dry the boots if they get wet?
If the boots become wet, allow them to dry naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture.
What does 'BCI laces' mean?
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. These laces are made from cotton sourced through BCI, which works to improve cotton farming globally by supporting farmers in adopting more sustainable practices.
Can these boots be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these boots are not waterproof. It's best to avoid excessive exposure to heavy rain. If they do get wet, follow the drying instructions carefully to prevent damage to the leather.
What is the typical break-in period for these boots?
Most leather boots require a break-in period. Expect them to feel a bit stiff initially. Wearing them for short durations over the first week or two should help them conform to your feet for a comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. Ensure boots are not exposed to excessive heat or drying conditions.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with new ones. For sustainable options, look for BCI cotton laces.
Difficulty lacing boots evenly
Ensure eyelets are clear of debris. Try lacing from the bottom up, alternating sides, and pulling gently to ensure an even tension.
Boots feel stiff initially
Wear the boots for short periods indoors to allow them to break in gradually. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
