FAQs

How do I clean my Kickers Kick Hi red leather boots?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner followed by a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Clean the rubber sole with a brush and soapy water. Always air dry.

Are Kickers Kick Hi boots true to size?

Kickers Kick Hi boots are generally considered true to size for UK adult sizing. However, personal fit can vary, so consider your typical shoe size and the thickness of socks you plan to wear. This specific variant is a UK adult size 7.

How long does it take to break in Kickers Kick Hi boots?

The break-in period for leather boots can vary, but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear. Be patient, as the leather will gradually conform to the shape of your foot, increasing comfort significantly.

Can I wear these boots in wet weather?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, Kickers Kick Hi boots are not fully waterproof. For protection in heavy rain or wet conditions, it's recommended to apply a suitable water-repellent spray designed for leather footwear. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.

What is the purpose of the leather Kickers tag?

The small leather tag attached to the laces is a signature hallmark of authentic Kickers footwear. It's a traditional brand identifier and can be left on or removed based on personal preference. It's part of the boot's iconic aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

My new Kick Hi boots feel stiff and uncomfortable.

This is normal for new leather boots. Wear them for short periods, increasing the duration each time. The leather will gradually soften and mold to your feet, becoming much more comfortable. Thick socks can help during the break-in period.

The red leather is scuffed or scratched.

For light scuffs, a damp cloth can sometimes buff them out. For deeper marks, use a leather cream or conditioner in a matching red tone (if available) or a neutral color to moisturize the leather and minimize the appearance of the scuff. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

My boots are squeaking when I walk.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the sole or inside the boot. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak is from the sole, ensure it's clean and dry. A cobbler might be able to help if it persists.

The red color seems to be fading.

Exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods can cause fading. Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Regularly applying a colored leather cream (specifically for red leather) can help restore and maintain the vibrancy of the color.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive Style: The iconic Kick Hi silhouette combined with vibrant red leather makes a bold fashion statement.
  • Durable Construction: High-quality smooth leather and a chunky rubber sole ensure long-lasting wear.
  • Comfortable (After Break-in): Leather molds to your foot over time, providing a custom and comfortable fit.
  • Brand Heritage: Represents a classic and recognized brand known for quality and style.
  • Versatile: Suitable for various casual and smart-casual outfits.

Cons

  • Break-in Period: Like most new leather boots, they may feel stiff initially and require some wear to become fully comfortable.
  • Color Maintenance: The vibrant red leather may require specific care to maintain its color and finish over time.
  • Weight: The chunky rubber sole, while durable, can make the boots feel heavier than some other footwear options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all branded metal eyelets. Start with a looser lacing to allow your foot to slide in comfortably. As the leather breaks in, you can adjust the lacing for a snugger, more supportive fit.
  2. First Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to begin molding to your feet. Avoid long walks until the boots feel more flexible.

Compatibility

  • Sizing: These boots are a UK adult size 7, designed for adult males. Kickers generally run true to size, but wearing them with your preferred socks (e.g., thicker socks for winter) can help confirm the fit.
  • Footwear: Best worn with socks to prevent friction and absorb moisture.

Care

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the smooth leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for smooth leather. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  • Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, apply a quality leather conditioner or cream every few months, or as needed. This helps preserve the vibrant red color and texture.
  • Sole Care: Clean the chunky rubber sole with a brush and warm soapy water to remove mud and grit, which can prolong its life and maintain grip.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray, especially before initial wear and periodically thereafter, to offer resistance against water and stains.
