FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for school uniforms?

Yes, the Kickers Fragma Lace Up Shoes in black leather feature a traditional moccasin style and lace-up design, making them a common and appropriate choice for many school uniform regulations.

How do I clean the leather upper?

To clean the leather, wipe with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, use a dedicated leather cleaner and apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Finish with a black shoe polish for shine and protection.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but the shoes are not inherently waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, you can treat the leather with a suitable waterproof spray or wax designed for leather footwear.

What is the sole made of?

The sole of the Kickers Fragma Lace Up Shoes is made from a durable synthetic material, offering good grip and wear resistance for everyday use.

What is the fit like for these shoes?

These shoes offer a secure and comfortable fit, thanks to the adjustable lace-up fastening and the padded ankle collar which provides cushioning and support around the ankle area. Users can customize the fit by adjusting the laces.

Can I replace the laces if they get damaged?

Yes, the laces can be replaced. You will need standard shoe laces of appropriate length and thickness, typically flat black laces, to match the original style.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace tension. For tightness, loosen laces across the forefoot. For looseness, pull laces tighter and re-tie for a more secure fit. The padded ankle collar should provide snug comfort without excessive pressure.

Squeaking sound when walking

Sometimes squeaking can come from moisture between the insole and sole, or from friction between parts of the shoe. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe. If the squeak persists, check for any loose stitching or parts.

Scuffs or marks on the leather upper

Clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, use a black shoe polish or a leather repair cream matching the shoe's color. Apply with a soft cloth and buff gently.

Foot discomfort after long wear

While the shoes have a padded ankle collar for comfort, prolonged standing or walking can still cause fatigue. Ensure laces are not too tight, which can restrict circulation. Consider trying different socks or, if necessary, a thin, supportive insole (if space allows) for additional arch support.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Fragma Lace Up Shoes:

  • Leather Upper: To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Regularly apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Polish with a black shoe polish to maintain shine and cover minor scuffs.
  • Textile Lining: Allow shoes to air out naturally after wear to prevent odors. If cleaning is needed, lightly wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, ensuring not to oversaturate.
  • Synthetic Sole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
  • Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources.
