FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for physical education (PE) or sports?

No, the Kickers Fragma shoes are designed as durable school uniform footwear. For PE or sports, we recommend dedicated athletic shoes that provide better support and cushioning for active movement.

How do I clean the leather upper of the shoes?

Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For scuffs, use a black leather shoe polish or cream. Apply in small circular motions, then buff to a shine. Allow them to air dry if they get wet.

What does 'Touch Fasten' mean?

'Touch Fasten' refers to the hook-and-loop closure system, commonly known as Velcro. It allows for easy and quick adjustment and securing of the shoe, making them simple for children to manage.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. We advise avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water.

What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?

With proper care and normal school wear, Kickers Fragma shoes are built for durability and are expected to last a full school year or longer, depending on the child's activity level and maintenance.

Can these shoes be worn by girls?

While marketed as 'Boys School Shoes' due to their style and common preference, the fit and features are suitable for any child whose foot size and shape fit a UK 9 regular width shoe, regardless of gender, provided the style meets school uniform requirements.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after wearing for a while.

Ensure the touch-fasten straps are not overtightened. Leather shoes may require a short 'break-in' period to conform to the foot. If discomfort persists, verify the shoe size and width are correct.

Scuffs and marks appear frequently on the leather.

This is normal with active wear. Regularly clean the shoes and apply a quality black shoe polish or cream to cover marks and nourish the leather. Consider using a leather protector spray for added defense.

Sole appears worn out quickly or lacks grip.

The rubber sole is designed for durability. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (school wear, not intense sports). Regularly clean the sole to ensure optimal grip. If excessive wear occurs prematurely, contact customer support with proof of purchase.

Touch-fasten straps are losing their grip.

Clean any lint or debris from the hook and loop surfaces using a stiff brush or comb. If the problem persists after cleaning, the fastening mechanism may be worn and require replacement or repair.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable for All-Day Wear: Fabric lining and thoughtful design ensure comfort during long school hours.
  • Classic School Style: The Moccasin/Apron style in black leather fits most school uniform policies.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Use & Fit

Upon receiving your Kickers Fragma shoes, ensure the size UK 9 is appropriate for the wearer. Have them try on both shoes with the socks they typically wear. The touch-fasten closure should be fastened securely but not too tightly, allowing for comfortable movement. Walk around to check for any pinching or slipping.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed as boys' school shoes and are highly compatible with standard school uniform requirements due to their classic black leather Moccasin/Apron style. They are suitable for daily wear in educational environments.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Kickers Fragma shoes:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Polishing: Apply a black shoe polish or cream to the leather periodically to keep it supple and maintain its shine. This also helps to cover minor scuffs.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  4. Sole Care: Check the rubber soles periodically for embedded stones or debris and remove them to prevent damage to the sole.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them retain their shape.
  6. Avoid Submersion: While durable, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging them in water.
