FAQs

What age group are these Kickers shoes designed for?

These specific Kickers Kick Hi Classic shoes are designed for infants, and this model is a UK Child Size 9.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the premium leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles. Applying a waterproof leather protector spray can enhance their water resistance.

How do I clean the leather upper?

For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Do these shoes offer ankle support?

Yes, the high-profile design of the Kick Hi Classic provides supportive coverage around the ankle, which can be beneficial for stability during active play.

Are the laces replaceable?

Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced if they become worn or if you prefer a different style or length. Ensure the replacement laces are suitable for the shoe's eyelets.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage your infant to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. The leather will soften and conform to their foot over time.

Laces frequently come undone during play.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. You may also consider replacing standard laces with slightly longer or thicker ones that allow for a more robust knot.

Sole traction seems reduced or shoes feel slippery.

Inspect the aggressive tread for embedded dirt, small stones, or debris. Use a stiff brush or a pick to carefully remove any foreign objects. Clean the sole with mild soap and water if there's a build-up of grime.

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather surface thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream. This will rehydrate the leather, restore its luster, and help protect it from further drying or cracking.

  • Enhanced Traction: The chunky midsole and aggressive tread offer reliable grip on different terrains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack: Remove shoes from packaging.
  2. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets. For first wear, loosen laces sufficiently to allow the foot to slide in easily.
  3. Fit Check: Place your infant's foot inside, ensuring there is about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
  4. Secure Laces: Tighten laces evenly for a snug, comfortable fit, then tie a secure bow. Double knotting is recommended for active children to prevent laces from coming undone during play.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: These shoes are designed for infants, specifically in UK Child Size 9.
  • Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all infants.
  • Material: Made with a leather upper and synthetic sole, offering a blend of traditional material and modern durability.

Care

Maintaining the quality and appearance of your Kickers Kick Hi Classic shoes is straightforward with a few key steps:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are frequently exposed to different weather conditions.
  3. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and 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: Clean the rubber sole unit and aggressive tread regularly to maintain traction. Use a stiff brush to remove embedded dirt and debris.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
