FAQs

Are these boots suitable for first walkers?

Yes, the Kickers Kick Hi Classic boots offer a high-profile design with ankle support and a grippy rubber sole, which can be beneficial for early walkers by providing stability and traction.

How do I clean the leather upper?

For basic cleaning, wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush. Follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.

What age does a UK size 8 typically fit?

UK size 8 infant boots generally fit toddlers around 18-24 months of age, but this can vary significantly by individual child. Always measure your child's feet to ensure the best fit.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the premium leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. For better water resistance, you can apply a suitable leather protector spray.

Can these boots be worn year-round?

Their durable leather construction makes them suitable for various seasons. They provide warmth in cooler weather and breathability for comfort, making them a versatile choice for year-round wear, depending on local climate.

How do I ensure the correct fit for my child?

Measure your child's feet regularly, as they grow quickly. When trying on the boots, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe and that the boot is comfortable across the width without pinching. Have your child walk around to check for comfort.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole unit is made of durable rubber, designed for grip and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or cause discomfort.

Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly. Check if your child is wearing very thick socks. If the issue persists, your child may have outgrown the boots, and a larger size might be needed. Remember to check for proper toe space.

Leather appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Apply a quality leather conditioner or polish, buffing gently with a soft brush or cloth to restore shine and protect the leather.

Child slips easily while wearing the boots.

Inspect the rubber grip sole for excessive wear or blockages (like mud or debris) in the aggressive tread pattern. Clean the sole if necessary. Ensure the walking surface is appropriate for the footwear.

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure you are tying a secure knot, ideally a double knot, especially for active children. Consider replacing old, worn laces with new, sturdy ones if they are frayed.

Boots are difficult to put on or take off.

Ensure the laces are loosened sufficiently before attempting to put on or take off the boots. For infants, gentle manipulation of the foot is often necessary to slide it in and out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: Built with premium leather and robust soles to withstand active infant use.
  • Comfort for Growing Feet: The leather upper and high-profile design offer support and comfort.
  • Excellent Traction: Aggressive tread and rubber grip sole provide stability on various surfaces.
  • Timeless Style: The iconic Kick Hi design is recognizable and remains fashionable.
  • Secure Fit: Lace-up fastening allows for precise adjustment to secure the boot.

Cons

  • Lace-Up Can Be Time-Consuming: Requires more effort to put on compared to hook-and-loop or zip closures.
  • Leather Care Required: The premium leather needs regular cleaning and conditioning to maintain its appearance and longevity.
  • May Feel Stiff Initially: Like most quality leather footwear, a slight break-in period might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Unlacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently to allow your child's foot to slide in easily without force.
  2. Fitting: Gently guide your child's foot into the boot, ensuring their heel is seated comfortably at the back.
  3. Lacing: Pull the laces firmly but not too tightly, making sure the boot feels snug around the foot and ankle without pinching. Secure with a double knot.
  4. Check Fit: Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between your child's longest toe and the end of the boot. Also, check that the boot is not too tight across the width.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are specifically designed for infants in UK size 8. Always ensure you are selecting the correct size for your child's rapidly growing feet. Regularly measure their feet to confirm the best fit.
  • Their unisex design makes them suitable for all genders.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and mud with a damp cloth immediately after use. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  • Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a suitable leather conditioner periodically.
  • Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight).
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
