FAQs

How do I properly clean my red leather Kickers Kick Hi boots?

Start by wiping off loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for smooth leather. Apply sparingly, wipe clean, and then follow up with a leather conditioner to moisturize the material.

Are Kickers Kick Hi boots waterproof?

No, these leather boots are not inherently waterproof. While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, for protection against rain or wet conditions, it's recommended to apply a water-resistant spray or wax designed for leather footwear.

Do I need to break in these boots?

Yes, like most leather footwear, your Kickers Kick Hi boots may require a short break-in period. The leather will gradually soften and conform to the shape of your feet for increased comfort over time. Wear them for shorter durations initially.

What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?

Kickers generally fit true to size. If you are typically a UK 11, this size should be appropriate. If you are usually between sizes, it's often recommended to go with the larger size, as you can always add an insole or wear thicker socks for a better fit.

Can I replace the laces or the leather Kickers tag?

Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced with any compatible boot laces. The leather Kickers tag is typically removable and can be reattached or replaced if desired, though replacement tags may be harder to source directly.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on how often you wear the boots and the conditions they are exposed to. As a general rule, conditioning every 1-2 months for regular wear is a good practice. If the leather starts to look dry or dull, it's a good indicator that it needs conditioning.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or dry

Clean the boots thoroughly and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and suppleness.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather

For light scuffs, use a damp cloth to gently rub the affected area. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather repair balm or polish in a matching colour can help conceal them. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable

Leather boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, and consider using thicker socks. Leather stretching sprays can also help soften the material in problem areas.

Slippery sole

Clean the chunky rubber sole to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might reduce traction. If the tread is excessively worn down, professional resoling may be necessary.

Unpleasant odour inside the boots

Ensure boots air out properly after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight. Remove insoles if possible for separate airing and cleaning.

Care Instructions:

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather Kickers Kick Hi Boots.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust after each use. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., monthly, or as needed based on use) to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and avoid cracking.
  3. Water Protection: While durable, leather is not naturally waterproof. Apply a water-resistant spray or wax designed for leather to protect against rain and moisture. Reapply as per product instructions.
  4. Drying: If boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Sole Care: Regularly check the chunky rubber sole for embedded debris and clean the tread for optimal grip. If the sole shows significant wear, consider professional resoling to extend the life of the boots.
