FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
Kickers generally run true to size for UK sizing. However, foot shape can vary, so if you're between sizes or plan to wear thick socks, consider trying them on or consulting a size guide. The product listed is UK 8.
Can I wear these boots in the rain?
While the premium leather offers some natural resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. For protection against rain and moisture, it's highly recommended to treat them with a suitable leather waterproofing spray before wear and reapply periodically.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
Wipe off surface dirt after each wear. Condition the leather every 2-3 months, or more frequently if worn in harsh conditions, to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Polish as needed to maintain shine.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
Kickers Kick Hi boots typically offer a comfortable, regular fit. For individuals with wider feet, the leather will stretch and mold over time. Wearing them with thicker socks during the break-in period can help facilitate this process.
What is the best way to break in new Kick Hi boots?
Wear your new boots for short periods initially, increasing wear time gradually. This allows the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Wearing thicker socks can also help cushion your feet during this period. Applying a leather conditioner can help soften the leather faster.
Can the sole be replaced or repaired?
Yes, the sturdy rubber Kick sole is generally designed to be durable, but in case of significant wear or damage, a professional cobbler may be able to repair or re-sole the boots, extending their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods at first, or try wearing thicker socks to help stretch the leather. Leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth. Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture, and then use a black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often, squeaking comes from friction between the insole and the boot or from trapped moisture. Try removing the insole (if removable) and sprinkling a little baby powder underneath. If the squeak persists, check for any loose sole components.
Loss of grip on the sole
Inspect the rubber Kick sole for excessive wear. While designed to be sturdy, prolonged use can wear down the tread. If the sole is significantly worn, consult a cobbler for potential re-soling to restore traction.
