FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

These shoes are listed in UK adult sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot and refer to a standard UK shoe size conversion chart if you are unsure. Leather shoes will also mold to your feet slightly over time.

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, with their padded ankle collar and secure lace-up design, they are built for comfort during extended periods, especially after a short break-in period. Regular care will also contribute to sustained comfort.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made from a durable synthetic material, offering good grip and wear resistance for everyday use.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper provides some natural water resistance. However, it's highly recommended to apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to enhance protection against heavy rain and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to very wet conditions.

How often should I condition the leather?

For regular wear, conditioning the leather every 1-2 months is generally sufficient. If the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or heavy use, you may need to condition them more frequently, or whenever the leather starts to look dry.

Is the insole removable?

Info needed: [Check product specifications or physical product to confirm if the insole is removable. If not, it is likely fixed.]

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during initial wear.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly; adjust for a comfortable, snug fit. The leather will gradually soften and mold to your feet.

Leather appears dry, dull, or has minor scuffs.

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture, and then use a black shoe polish to cover scuffs and bring back the shine. Buff with a clean cloth.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are tying a firm, secure knot. A double knot (tying a second loop over the first) can provide extra security, especially with new laces.

A squeaking sound occurs when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by the tongue rubbing against the side of the shoe or the insole rubbing against the sole. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable, or to the area where the tongue rubs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure & Adjustable Fit: The lace-up design allows for a tailored fit.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Padded ankle collar minimizes discomfort during prolonged wear.
  • Durable Construction: Leather upper and stitched details contribute to a long-lasting shoe.
  • Classic & Versatile Style: Traditional moccasin design is suitable for various smart-casual and formal settings.
  • Brand Reputation: Kickers is known for producing quality footwear.

Cons

  • Requires Regular Care: Leather upper needs cleaning and conditioning to maintain its appearance.
  • Break-in Period: Like most leather shoes, a short break-in period may be necessary for optimal comfort.
  • Limited Breathability: While leather breathes, the closed design might be less breathable than mesh alternatives in very warm conditions.
  • Synthetic Sole: May offer less shock absorption compared to more advanced sole technologies, though durable for general use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Upon first wear, fully unlace the shoes, then insert your foot. Begin lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly but not too tightly. Ensure the laces are even on both sides.
  2. Adjusting: Adjust the tension of the laces evenly up the foot to achieve a comfortable and secure fit around your foot and ankle. Tie a firm knot.
  3. Break-in Period: Leather shoes often require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape naturally. This helps prevent initial discomfort.

Compatibility

These Kickers Fragma Lace Shoes are designed for adult male wearers and are suitable for a wide range of occasions from daily casual to smart-casual or school/work environments where a classic, durable shoe is required. Their black leather finish makes them highly versatile for pairing with various clothing styles and colors.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and extend the life of your leather shoes:

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  • Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months (depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
  • Polishing: Use a black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a cloth, allow to dry, then buff to a shine.
  • Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray designed for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially during wet weather.
  • Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
