The Kickers Kick T Bar School Shoes are engineered for the rigors of daily school life. Their high durability, certified by SATRA testing, means they can withstand extensive playground activities, classroom movements, and general wear and tear, making them a reliable choice for active children.
For the Classroom: The secure T-bar fastening ensures the shoes stay comfortably in place during lessons, transitions, and indoor play. The antibacterial insoles are particularly beneficial for prolonged wear, helping to maintain foot freshness and comfort from morning assembly to the final bell.
For the Playground: The robust construction, combining plant-based materials with strategic synthetics, provides excellent resistance against scuffs and impacts common during outdoor play. The sturdy sole offers good traction, supporting safe movement during running and jumping.
Daily Wear: The blend of comfort features and durable design means these shoes are suitable for everyday wear beyond just school hours, offering consistent support and protection. The T-bar design also allows for easy adjustment, accommodating different foot widths for a personalized fit.
Ethical Choice: For families prioritizing ethical sourcing and environmental considerations, the PETA and vegan approval, alongside the recycled sole content, makes these shoes a compelling option without compromising on quality or performance.
The Kickers Kick T Bar School Shoes require no special setup.
Fitting: Ensure your child's foot is properly measured to select the correct size (this variant is 5 UK Child).
Fastening: Adjust the T-bar strap for a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure it's not too tight, which could restrict circulation, or too loose, which could cause slipping.
These shoes are designed for:
Age Group: Infants/young children (specified as 5 UK Child).
Environment: Ideal for school environments, including classrooms, playgrounds, and daily commutes.
Dress Codes: Their classic black T-bar style makes them suitable for most school uniform policies.
Vegan Lifestyles: PETA and vegan approved, compatible with ethical and animal-product-free preferences.
Proper care helps maintain the durability and appearance of your Kickers shoes.
Regular Cleaning: Wipe the plant-based upper material with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the material.
Scuff Marks: For minor scuffs, a black shoe polish suitable for synthetic or 'vegan leather' materials can be used, but test a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Insole Freshness: While they have antibacterial insoles, occasionally remove them to air out the shoes and insoles separately, especially after prolonged wear or if they get wet.
