The Kickers Hi Zip Boots are engineered to keep up with the demands of active children, performing admirably in various everyday scenarios. The rugged cleated sole provides reliable grip, making them suitable for playground adventures, walking to school, or simply navigating various urban and outdoor surfaces. The combination of traditional laces with the side zip fastening offers the best of both worlds: parents can ensure a secure, custom fit with the laces, while children benefit from the quick and easy on-off provided by the zip, reducing fuss before and after activities. The patent leather upper not only delivers a stylish aesthetic but also offers a degree of water resistance, making them practical for light rain and general outdoor wear. Their versatile ankle height design means they can be comfortably worn with school uniforms, casual trousers, or skirts, adapting seamlessly to different outfits and occasions. These boots are built to withstand the rigours of daily wear, maintaining their structure and support thanks to the quality leather and durable sole.
Getting Started (Setup):
Unzipping: Locate the side zip fastening on each boot and pull it down to open the boot collar.
Loosening Laces: If the boots feel too snug, loosen the laces slightly to create more room for the foot.
Putting On: Guide your child's foot into the boot, ensuring the heel sits comfortably at the back.
Zipping Up: Pull the side zip upwards until fully closed. This secures the boot instantly.
Adjusting Laces: If desired, tighten the laces for a more snug fit, then tie them securely. The zip can be used for daily on-off once the laces are set.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for kids, providing a comfortable and secure fit for young, active feet. (This specific model is UK Kids Size 1).
They are versatile enough to be worn with a variety of outfits, including school uniforms, trousers, leggings, and skirts, making them a practical choice for many occasions.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning the Patent Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a patent leather cleaner specifically designed for shiny finishes is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the patent coating.
Maintaining Shine: To restore the patent leather's lustre, a small amount of patent leather conditioner or polish can be applied with a soft cloth and buffed gently.
Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight). This prevents the leather from cracking.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
Sole Care: Regularly check the cleated soles for embedded debris (like small stones or mud) and remove it to maintain optimal grip and prevent wear.
