FAQs

How do I clean my black leather Kick Hi boots?

Wipe off surface dirt with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, use a specialized leather cleaner. After cleaning, allow to air dry, then apply a leather conditioner to moisturize and protect the material. Finish with a suitable black leather polish for shine and protection.

Are Kickers Kick Hi boots waterproof?

While the leather is durable, these boots are not inherently waterproof. They offer good water resistance in light rain, but for heavy wet conditions, it's highly recommended to apply a dedicated waterproofing spray or wax designed for leather footwear.

What is the best way to break in new Kick Hi boots?

Start by wearing them for short periods (1-2 hours) around the house or for quick errands. Gradually increase the wear time. Using thick socks can help reduce friction, and applying leather conditioner can help soften the leather faster. Be patient, as leather needs time to mold to your feet.

How do I maintain the shape of my boots when not wearing them?

To maintain the shape and prevent creasing, store your boots with boot trees inserted. If boot trees are unavailable, stuffing them with newspaper can also help absorb moisture and keep their form.

Are these boots true to size?

Kickers Kick Hi boots generally run true to size for UK shoe measurements. This specific pair is a UK size 11 for adults. If you are unsure, it's always best to consult a brand-specific size guide or try them on.

Can I wear these boots in summer?

While the durable leather might feel warm in peak summer, many find the Kick Hi boots comfortable enough for cooler summer evenings or as a stylish statement piece. Their versatility allows them to be worn across multiple seasons, depending on personal preference and local climate.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods, increasing duration gradually. Use a good quality leather conditioner to help soften the material. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.

Leather appears dry or has minor cracks.

The leather needs moisture. Clean the boots thoroughly, then apply a generous amount of leather conditioner. Allow it to soak in, then buff off any excess. Repeat regularly to restore suppleness.

Scuffs and marks are visible on the leather.

For light scuffs, a damp cloth followed by a leather balm or neutral polish can often minimize them. For deeper scuffs, a colored leather polish matching the black leather can help to hide the marks. Always clean the area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. First Fit: When first trying on your Kick Hi boots, ensure your foot feels secure but not cramped. Wiggle your toes to confirm adequate space.
  2. Lacing: Lace the boots firmly but comfortably, ensuring the tongue is centered. Adjust laces to your preference for ankle support.
  3. Break-in: Wear your boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. This prevents discomfort during the break-in phase. Walking around the house or for short errands is a good start.

Compatibility

These black leather Kick Hi boots in UK size 11 are designed for adult males. Their classic aesthetic makes them highly compatible with:

  • Casual Attire: Jeans, cargo pants, chinos, and corduroys.
  • Smart-Casual Looks: Pair them with darker trousers and a button-down shirt or a casual jacket for a refined yet relaxed style.
  • Outerwear: Complementary with denim jackets, bomber jackets, and casual coats.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Kick Hi boots:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Protection: Use a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance, especially if you plan to wear them in wet conditions. Reapply periodically.
  4. Drying: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees to maintain their shape.
  6. Scuffs: Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a leather cream or polish in a matching color.
