FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Kickers typically run true to size. For the best fit, we recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to a Kickers size chart if you are unsure. Remember that leather will mold slightly to your foot over time.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the leather is durable, these shoes are not inherently waterproof. For protection against rain and moisture, we highly recommend applying a specialized leather water and stain repellent spray or wax before wearing them in wet conditions.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

For regular wear, we recommend wiping them down after each use. A deeper clean and conditioning should be done every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if worn in harsh conditions or if the leather appears dry.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to protect the shoe lining, wear appropriate socks. For business casual, cotton or wool blend socks work well. For more casual wear, any comfortable sock choice is fine, as long as it doesn't cause excessive rubbing.

Are the insoles removable?

Info needed: [Please check the specific product or consult the manufacturer's website for information on whether the insoles are removable for custom orthotics.]

How long do Kickers Fragma Lace Up Shoes typically last?

With proper care and maintenance, Kickers shoes, especially those made of high-quality leather, are known for their longevity and can last for several years, even with regular use.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable initially

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Use thick socks, or a leather stretching spray/conditioner to help soften the material.

Shoes squeak when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or between the insole and the shoe body. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak persists, it might indicate a manufacturing issue and professional advice might be needed.

Scuffs and minor scratches on the leather

Clean the scuffed area with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of matching black leather shoe polish to the scuff, rub it in gently, and then buff with a clean, soft cloth or shoe brush to restore shine and blend the scratch.

Shoes appear dull or dry

Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. This will moisturize the leather, preventing cracking and restoring its natural luster. Follow with a black shoe polish for added shine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: Built with high-quality leather and robust construction, these shoes are designed to withstand regular wear and last for years.
  • Timeless Style: The classic lace-up design of the Fragma series ensures these shoes remain fashionable and suitable for many different settings.
  • Comfortable for Daily Use: The leather adapts to your foot, providing a comfortable fit that improves with wear.
  • High Versatility: The black leather makes these shoes easy to integrate into a variety of wardrobes, from casual to smart casual.
  • Reliable Brand Quality: Kickers is known for its durable and well-crafted footwear.

Cons

  • Requires Regular Maintenance: As genuine leather, these shoes need proper cleaning, conditioning, and protection to maintain their appearance and longevity.
  • Initial Break-in Period: New leather shoes may feel stiff initially and require a short period of wear to soften and conform to your feet.
  • Not Waterproof: While durable, natural leather is not inherently waterproof and requires treatment for protection against heavy rain or moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Kickers Fragma Lace Up Shoe requires minimal setup.

  1. Lacing: Thread the laces through the eyelets to your preferred tightness. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed to provide consistent pressure across the top of your foot.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet comfortably. This helps prevent blisters during the break-in phase.

Compatibility

These shoes are highly compatible with a wide range of clothing styles:

  • Trousers: Pair well with tailored trousers, chinos, and even dark-wash jeans.
  • Socks: Choose socks that complement the occasion; thin dress socks for formal settings or thicker cotton socks for casual wear.
  • Seasonal Wear: Suitable for all seasons, though additional waterproofing treatment is recommended for wet conditions.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will significantly extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather shoes.

  1. Regular Cleaning:
  • Wipe down the shoes with a *damp cloth* after each wear to remove dirt and dust.
  • For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated *leather cleaner* and follow the product's instructions.
  1. Conditioning:
  • Apply a *leather conditioner* every few weeks (or more often if worn frequently) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Rub the conditioner in gently with a soft cloth and allow it to absorb.
  1. Polishing:
  • Use a *black shoe polish* to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a cloth, let it dry, then buff with a clean brush or cloth.
  1. Protection:
  • Consider applying a *water and stain protector* specifically designed for leather. Reapply periodically, especially before wet weather.
  1. Storage:
  • Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Use *shoe trees* to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  • Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
  1. Avoid Excessive Moisture: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
