FAQs

How often should I clean and polish my Kickers Fragma shoes?

For everyday wear, a quick wipe-down after each use is recommended. A full polish and conditioning should be done every 2-4 weeks, depending on wear and environmental conditions, or whenever the leather starts to look dull.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These shoes are made of leather, which offers some natural resistance to moisture but is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-specific water-resistant spray for added protection in wet conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces are replaceable. You can purchase standard replacement shoelaces of appropriate length and thickness from most shoe retailers. This allows for customization or replacement if the original laces wear out.

How do I ensure the best fit for my feet?

Always ensure you are buying the correct UK shoe size. When trying them on, wear the type of socks you typically would. There should be a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The laces should allow for a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, we recommend wearing cotton or wool blend socks. These materials are breathable and help prevent friction, reducing the risk of blisters, especially during the breaking-in period.

Do I need to 'break in' these shoes?

Yes, as with most quality leather footwear, a 'breaking-in' period is advisable. The leather will gradually soften and conform to the unique shape of your feet, improving comfort over time. Start with shorter periods of wear.

Troubleshooting

My new shoes feel stiff and uncomfortable.

Leather shoes often require a 'breaking-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Using thicker socks or a shoe stretcher can help accelerate the process. Leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

The leather looks dull or scuffed.

Clean the shoes thoroughly with a damp cloth. Apply a good quality black shoe polish, following the product instructions, then buff to a shine with a clean cloth or brush. For deeper scuffs, a leather dye pen can be used before polishing.

My shoes are squeaking when I walk.

Squeaking can be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. If the squeak persists, it might be a structural issue that requires professional attention.

The laces keep coming undone.

Ensure you are tying a proper square knot. You can also try double-knotting for extra security. Replacing worn-out laces with new, slightly thicker laces can also help them stay tied better.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Getting started with your Kickers Fragma Lace Up Shoes is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging.
  2. Lace Up: Thread the laces through the eyelets, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Adjust the tension to your preference, starting from the toe and working towards the ankle. Refer to common lacing patterns online for personalized comfort or style.
  3. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes around your home for a short period to allow the leather to begin molding to your foot shape.

Compatibility

  • Sizing: This particular model is a UK Adult Size 6. Please ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit. Refer to a standard UK shoe size chart if unsure.
  • Gender/Age Group: Designed for adult males.
  • Clothing: Its classic black design is highly compatible with a wide range of clothing, from school uniforms and work attire to smart-casual outfits like trousers, chinos, and dark wash jeans.

Care

Proper care will significantly extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather shoes:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the shoes with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dirt and dust. For dried mud, allow it to dry completely, then brush off gently with a soft brush.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner every few weeks or as needed. This will keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and restore its natural oils. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
  3. Polishing: Use a black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a soft cloth, let it dry, then buff to a shine with a clean brush or cloth.
  4. Water Protection: While durable, leather is not inherently waterproof. Consider applying a water-resistant spray specifically designed for leather shoes to add a layer of protection against rain and splashes.
  5. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
  6. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
