FAQs

Are Kickers Kick Hi boots true to size?

Kickers Kick Hi boots generally run true to standard UK adult sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are unsure or between sizes, it's often best to try them on or consult a sizing guide if available.

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

The break-in period can vary but typically takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear. The leather will gradually soften and mold to the shape of your feet, becoming more comfortable over time.

Can I wear Kickers Kick Hi boots in the rain?

The leather construction offers some natural water resistance for light rain. However, these boots are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather footwear to enhance protection.

How do I clean the chunky rubber sole?

The chunky rubber sole can be cleaned using a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and warm soapy water. For stubborn dirt or grime, a mild household cleaner can be used, but avoid getting it on the leather upper.

Are Kickers Kick Hi boots suitable for wide feet?

While the Kick Hi has a fairly accommodating fit, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug initially. The leather will stretch and conform with wear, but if comfort is an immediate concern, it's advisable to try them on first.

What is the best way to store my Kick Hi boots?

Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees will help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases and odors. Keep them in a breathable bag or box if storing for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable.

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially. Using a leather conditioner can help soften the leather over time. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.

Scuffs or scratches on the leather.

For minor scuffs, try rubbing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather repair balm or a matching leather polish/cream. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Sole becomes slippery on wet surfaces.

Ensure the chunky rubber sole is clean; dirt or debris can reduce grip. If worn smooth over time, the sole's traction may diminish; consider resoling by a professional if severe.

Leather looks dry or cracked.

Regularly apply a good quality leather conditioner. This moisturizes the leather and prevents it from drying out and cracking. Avoid leaving boots in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

Boots have an odor.

Allow boots to air out after wearing. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing). Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable Underfoot: The chunky rubber sole offers good shock absorption and support.

Cons

  • Requires Regular Care: Leather material needs consistent cleaning and conditioning to maintain its condition.
  • Initial Breaking-In Period: May feel stiff initially and require a period of wear to soften and conform to your foot.
  • Not Fully Waterproof: While leather offers some water resistance, they are not designed for heavy rain or submersion.
  • Can Be Heavy: The chunky sole adds to the boot's weight compared to lighter footwear options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Wear & Setup:

Upon receiving your Kickers Kick Hi Boots, they are ready to wear. Due to the robust leather, they may feel slightly stiff initially. We recommend:

  1. Wear with Thick Socks: This can help prevent rubbing during the initial break-in period.
  2. Gradual Wear: Start by wearing them for shorter periods (e.g., 1-2 hours) and gradually increase the duration as the leather softens and molds to your feet.
  3. Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied but not overly tight to allow for natural movement and comfort.

Compatibility:

Kickers Kick Hi boots are a versatile fashion statement compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They are well-suited for:

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, cargo pants, chinos, t-shirts, sweaters.
  • Smart-Casual: Can be dressed up with tailored trousers, button-down shirts, or knitwear for a relaxed yet polished look.
  • Seasonal Use: Ideal for autumn and winter, providing both style and a degree of warmth.

Care Instructions:

To prolong the life and appearance of your leather Kick Hi boots, follow these care steps:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth after each wear.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow product instructions carefully.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner every few weeks or as needed. This helps to keep the leather supple, prevents drying and cracking, and maintains its natural luster.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to enhance water and stain resistance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  5. Drying: If boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight). Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  6. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  7. Sole Care: Clean the chunky rubber sole with a brush and water to remove embedded dirt and maintain grip.
