FAQs

What age group are these Kickers boots for?

These specific Kickers Kick Hi Zip boots are designed for infants, indicated by their sizing (UK 12 child) and features tailored for younger children.

How do I clean the leather on these boots?

For general cleaning, wipe the premium leather with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt or to restore shine, use a specialist leather cleaner or black shoe polish suitable for leather footwear. Always allow to air dry naturally.

Are these boots suitable for new walkers?

Yes, with their durable rubber grip sole and supportive padded ankle collars, these boots provide stable footing and comfort, making them suitable for infants who are new to walking or actively exploring.

What is the benefit of the zip fastening?

The zip-up fastening, in addition to the laces, allows for quick and easy on/off. This is particularly convenient for parents when dressing active or wriggly infants, saving time and effort.

Are these boots made with sustainable materials?

Yes, Kickers emphasizes sustainability with these boots. They feature BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) laces, 100 percent recycled mesh lining, FSC certified and recyclable shoeboxes, 20 percent recycled material in the black rubber sole, and leather from Leather Working Group certified tanneries.

Can these boots be worn in wet weather?

While the premium leather offers some natural water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions, a protective leather spray is recommended, and always allow them to air dry if they get wet.

How do I ensure the correct fit for my infant?

It's best to have your infant's feet measured professionally or use a reliable size guide, leaving a little room for growth. Ensure their toes aren't squashed and the heel isn't slipping, and that the laces and zip provide a snug, comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Boots are difficult to put on or take off.

Ensure the side zip is fully unzipped and laces are sufficiently loosened before inserting or removing your infant's foot. For easier access, you can unlace the top few eyelets.

Infant seems uncomfortable or resistant to wearing the boots.

Check the fit. Ensure the size is correct and that socks are not bunched up. Verify the laces are not tied too tightly, and the padded ankle collar is sitting comfortably without being folded.

Leather appears scuffed or dull.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper marks or to restore shine, use a suitable black leather polish or conditioner. Follow product instructions for application.

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Regularly check for fraying and replace laces if they show significant wear.

Sole seems to be losing grip.

Inspect the rubber sole for embedded small stones or dirt that might reduce traction. Clean the sole if necessary. While designed for durability, heavy wear can eventually affect grip over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: High-quality leather and robust rubber sole ensure the boots withstand active infant play.
  • Comfort for Little Feet: Soft padded ankle collars and quality construction provide a comfortable fit.
  • Convenient On/Off: The combination of laces and a zip fastening makes putting on and taking off the boots quick and easy.
  • Iconic & Stylish Design: Retains the timeless Kick Hi aesthetic, making them a fashionable choice for infants.

Cons

  • Leather Care Required: Being made of premium leather, these boots may require specific cleaning and maintenance to retain their appearance.
  • Infant-Specific Sizing: Tailored for infants, which means they are not suitable for older children or adults.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & First Use

These boots are designed for immediate wear. To ensure a comfortable and secure fit:

  1. Unzip the side fastener: Fully unzip the side zipper on each boot.
  2. Loosen laces (if needed): While the zip provides easy entry, you may slightly loosen the tonal laces to adjust the fit around your infant's foot if necessary.
  3. Insert foot: Gently guide your infant's foot into the boot.
  4. Zip up: Secure the side zipper.
  5. Adjust laces: Tighten the laces as needed to provide a snug, yet comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are securely tied to prevent tripping hazards.

Compatibility

These specific boots are designed for infants and are available in UK child size 12. They are a unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls. The durable construction is compatible with active play and daily wear in various mild weather conditions.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your Kickers Kick Hi Zip Infant Boots looking their best and extend their lifespan, follow these care instructions:

  • Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialist leather cleaner designed for premium leather footwear. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before initial wear.
  • Drying: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  • Polishing: Periodically polish the leather with a suitable black shoe polish to maintain its shine and condition.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
  • Sole Care: While durable, regularly check the rubber grip sole for any embedded debris or excessive wear to maintain optimal traction.
