FAQs

How do I clean my Kickers Fragma leather shoes?

Gently wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Afterwards, apply a leather conditioner to moisturize and a black shoe polish to restore shine and color.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the leather is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to provide some protection against moisture.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees will help maintain their shape and prevent creases. If storing for extended periods, place them in a breathable shoe bag.

Will the shoes stretch over time?

Yes, as they are made of genuine leather, they will naturally soften and mold to the shape of your feet over time, becoming more comfortable with wear.

Can I wear these shoes in formal settings?

While primarily a smart-casual shoe, their classic black leather design allows them to be suitable for some semi-formal occasions, especially when paired with appropriate attire. For strictly formal events, you might prefer a more traditional dress shoe.

What if the laces break?

Replacement laces are widely available at shoe stores or online. Look for durable, flat black laces of a similar length to ensure a proper fit and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

The leather likely needs conditioning. Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a suitable leather conditioner and allow it to absorb before buffing lightly.

Minor scuffs or scratches visible

For light scuffs, use a black shoe polish. Apply a small amount to the scuff, rub in gently, and then buff with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, professional repair or specialized leather dye might be needed.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. Replace the insole and test. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the shoe's construction and may require professional inspection.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable during initial wear

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. Thicker socks can also help stretch the leather slightly. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a shoe specialist.

Cons

  • Occasions: Suitable for daily wear, office environments, school, casual outings, and smart-casual events.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is crucial to extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather shoes.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe shoes with a damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks or months (depending on wear) to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent drying or cracking. This restores natural oils.
  3. Polishing: Use a good quality black shoe polish to cover scuffs, restore shine, and provide an additional layer of protection. Apply in circular motions and buff to a shine.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against moisture and spills.
  5. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators), which can crack the leather.
  6. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing odors.
