FAQs

What age group are these Kickers Kick Hi boots designed for?

These specific Kickers Kick Hi boots are designed for infants, typically aligning with UK infant shoe sizes.

How do I clean the patent black leather?

Simply wipe the boots with a soft, damp cloth to remove most dirt. For a deeper clean or to restore shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly, then buff with a clean cloth. Always air dry.

Are these boots suitable for first walkers?

Yes, with their ankle support and grip-granting cleated soles, they provide stability suitable for infants learning to walk and exploring their surroundings.

Can these boots be worn in wet weather?

While the patent leather offers some resistance to moisture, these boots are not designed to be fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, and they should be dried thoroughly if they get wet.

How do I ensure the correct fit for my infant?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your infant's longest toe and the end of the boot when they are standing. Check that the boot is snug around the ankle but not restrictive, and that their heel doesn't slip excessively when walking.

Do I need to polish the patent leather?

Traditional shoe polish is not required for patent leather. Instead, use a patent leather specific cleaner or a soft cloth with a small amount of petroleum jelly to maintain its reflective shine.

Are the laces functional, or just for show?

The laces are fully functional, allowing for a customizable and secure fit around your infant's foot, complementing the convenience of the side zip.

Troubleshooting

Boots are difficult to put on my infant's foot.

Ensure both the side zip is fully unzipped and the laces are loosened sufficiently. Gently ease the foot in, wiggling the toes if necessary, before adjusting the laces and zipping up.

Patent leather looks dull or has scuff marks.

Wipe the boots thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For scuffs or to restore shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly on a soft cloth, then buff gently.

Soles seem slippery on certain surfaces.

Check the cleated soles for any embedded dirt, mud, or small debris that might be reducing grip. Clean the soles with a stiff brush and water if needed. Ensure the soles are dry before use.

My infant complains of discomfort or the boots feel too tight.

Re-check the fit. Fully loosen the laces and zip, then re-fasten them ensuring the laces are snug but not overly tight. Check that socks are not bunched up. Infants grow quickly, so it might be time to check their current shoe size against the boot size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile Style: Suitable for many occasions and pairs well with both skirts and trousers.
  • Effortless Cleaning: The patent leather is designed for quick and simple wiping, ideal for infant wear.
  • Secure & Supportive Fit: The combination of laces and a side zip ensures the boots stay on securely.
  • Excellent Traction: Cleated soles provide reliable grip for active infants.
  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of infant play while maintaining their appearance.

Cons

  • Patent Leather Maintenance: While easy to clean, patent leather can show scuffs or scratches more prominently than matte finishes if not cared for.
  • Infant Sizing: Infants grow quickly, meaning these boots may be outgrown sooner than adult footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Unzip Fully: Before putting the boots on, ensure the side zip is fully open.
  2. Loosen Laces: Slightly loosen the traditional laces to create enough space for your infant's foot.
  3. Insert Foot: Gently guide your infant's foot into the boot.
  4. Adjust Laces: Once the foot is in, tighten the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit around the foot and ankle, ensuring it's not too tight.
  5. Zip Up: Secure the side zip fully to lock the fit in place.

Compatibility

These Kickers Kick Hi boots are designed for infants and are unisex, making them suitable for all little ones. Their classic black patent finish and versatile design mean they can be effortlessly paired with:

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, leggings, or joggers for everyday comfort.
  • Dressier Outfits: Skirts, dresses, or smart trousers for special occasions.

Care

To maintain the shiny patent leather and extend the lifespan of your Kickers Kick Hi boots, follow these care tips:

  1. Daily Cleaning: After each use, especially if dirty, wipe the boots down with a soft, damp cloth. This is usually sufficient for general dirt.
  2. Stubborn Marks: For more persistent marks, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water on a soft cloth. Gently wipe the affected area, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Always allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the patent leather.
  4. Shine Maintenance: To restore the reflection and shine, a specific patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth and then buffed can be used.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can stuff them with tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Sharp Objects: Patent leather can scratch, so avoid contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces to prevent damage.
