Kickers Kick Hi Zip Infant Boots - Black - UK 11

The premium leather upper offers good water resistance against light splashes and damp conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water is not recommended.

It's best to measure your infant's foot and compare it to Kickers' size guide for infant footwear. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the boot for growth and comfort.

The leather construction and high-profile design make them suitable for most seasons. They offer warmth in cooler weather and breathability in milder conditions, but might be too warm for very hot summer days.

The zip-up fastening works in conjunction with the laces to make putting the boots on and taking them off much easier and quicker, especially on active or uncooperative little feet.

Yes, standard boot laces of appropriate length can be used as replacements. You may be able to find original Kickers laces or suitable alternatives from footwear retailers.

The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For aggressive tread, a small brush (like an old toothbrush) can help remove dirt from grooves.

Ensure the side zip is fully unzipped and the laces are loosened completely before attempting to put on or remove the boots. The zip is designed for easier access.

Clean the boots with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt, then apply a suitable leather conditioner to moisturize and restore the leather's natural sheen. Follow the conditioner's instructions carefully.

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot, especially for active infants. Periodically check the laces for wear and replace them if they become frayed.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the tongue and the boot's upper. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or a leather conditioner to the tongue area. If the squeak comes from the sole, it might indicate moisture or debris – ensure the sole is clean and dry.
