FAQs
How should I clean my Kickers Kick Hi Classic boots?
You should only wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents.
What should I do if my boots get wet?
If they get wet, dry them naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep them away from direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
These boots are designed for everyday wear and casual use, offering good traction on urban surfaces. They are not specifically designed for rugged hiking conditions.
What does 'Leather Working Group certified' mean?
It means the leather used comes from tanneries that have been audited and certified for their environmental practices and compliance with standards set by the Leather Working Group.
Can I use shoe polish on these boots?
While not explicitly mentioned, as they are 'wipe clean only', it is best to stick to a damp cloth for cleaning. If you wish to condition the leather, use a product specifically designed for smooth leather and test it on a small, hidden area first.
What are the laces made from?
The laces are made from BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) cotton, which supports more sustainable cotton farming practices.
What is the environmental impact of the shoebox?
The shoebox is FSC certified, made from 90% recycled material, printed with natural soya ink, and is 100% recyclable.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather (smooth leather) to restore suppleness. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Scuff marks on the leather
For light scuffs, try gently wiping with a slightly damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a white rubber eraser, testing in a hidden spot first.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Boots lose shape when wet
Ensure boots are dried upright and away from heat. Stuffing them with plain paper (not newspaper, which can transfer ink) can help them retain their shape while drying.
