FAQs

What age group are these shoes designed for?

This specific pair (UK Size 3) is designed for children. Kickers Fragma series also has adult sizes available, but this particular product is for kids.

Are these shoes suitable for school uniforms?

Yes, with their classic black leather and lace-up design, they are an excellent choice that meets most school uniform requirements.

How do I clean the leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Follow with a leather conditioner and black shoe polish to maintain the finish.

Do I need to break them in?

Yes, as they are made from genuine leather, a short break-in period is recommended to allow the material to soften and conform to the wearer's foot for optimal comfort.

Are the shoes waterproof?

The leather offers natural water resistance, but the shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather waterproofing spray for enhanced protection against rain and moisture.

What material are these shoes made from?

These Kickers Fragma Lace Up Shoes are crafted from high-quality genuine leather.

How do I ensure the correct fit for my child?

It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to Kickers' official sizing guide. Trying the shoes on with the type of socks they'll usually wear is also recommended to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to 'break them in'. The leather will soften and mold to your foot over a few days of wear.

Leather looks dull or dry.

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a soft cloth. For added shine, follow with black shoe polish.

Scuffs and minor marks on the leather.

Clean the affected area. For light scuffs, a matching shoe polish often works wonders. For deeper marks, a leather repair balm might be needed, or consider professional shoe care.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure you are tying the laces securely. Consider using a double knot or trying different lacing techniques. Regularly check laces for wear and replace if frayed.

Shoes are squeaking.

Sometimes squeaking can be caused by moisture trapped inside or between layers of the shoe. Try dusting the inside with baby powder or cornstarch to absorb moisture. If the squeak persists, it might be an internal structural issue and may require professional attention.

Cons

  • Initial Break-in Period: Like most quality leather shoes, they may feel stiff at first and require a few wears to mold to the foot.
  • Requires Regular Care: Leather needs routine cleaning and conditioning to maintain its quality and appearance.
  • Not Fully Waterproof: While water-resistant, they are not completely waterproof and may require additional protection in heavy rain.
  • Specific Sizing: As a lace-up, the fit is specific to the foot size and does not offer significant adjustability beyond lacing tension.

Care Instructions

To ensure your Kickers Fragma Lace Up Shoes maintain their quality and appearance for as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after each wear to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks (or more frequently if worn daily) to keep the leather soft and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
  3. Polishing: Use a black shoe polish regularly to maintain the shine and help cover minor scuffs and abrasions. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, let dry, then buff to a shine.
  4. Water Protection: While the leather offers some natural water resistance, consider applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather to provide an extra layer of protection, especially in wet weather.
  5. Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  6. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
