FAQs

How do I clean my Kickers Kick Hi black leather boots?

Wipe off surface dirt with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, and polish with black shoe polish for shine and protection.

Are these boots waterproof?

While leather offers some natural water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection against rain and moisture, we recommend applying a waterproofing spray or wax specifically designed for leather footwear.

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

The break-in period varies by individual, but typically, it takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear for the leather to soften and mold comfortably to your feet.

What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?

Kickers generally fit true to size. If you are typically between sizes, it's often recommended to choose the larger size, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks, and use insoles if needed for a snugger fit.

Can I resole the chunky sole of these boots?

While it is technically possible to resole the chunky sole, it typically requires a specialist cobbler due to its specific construction. Contact a professional shoe repair service for an assessment.

How should I store my Kickers when not wearing them?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb any moisture, prolonging their life.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods around the house to gradually break them in. Use a good quality leather conditioner to help soften the material faster.

Leather looks dull or has minor scuffs.

Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a black leather polish. Buff with a clean cloth or brush to restore shine and cover scuffs.

Boots squeak when I walk.

Squeaking can often be due to friction between the insole and the boot's interior. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole. If it's the leather itself, a leather conditioner might help reduce friction.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the boots.

Allow the boots to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles if possible. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight, then shake it out.

Laces are fraying or breaking.

While the thick laces are durable, they can eventually wear out. Replace them with new, sturdy laces of a similar length and thickness. Kickers typically use strong, waxed laces.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Initial Break-in Period: Like most quality leather boots, they may feel stiff and require some wearing before achieving full comfort.
  • Weight: The robust construction and chunky sole can make them heavier than other types of footwear.

  • Less Breathable: As a leather boot, it may offer less ventilation compared to textile-based footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Upon receiving your Kickers Kick Hi Core Shoes, ensure a proper fit before extended wear. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Walk around indoors for a short period to assess comfort. The leather will be stiff initially, which is normal. Lace them up securely but not too tightly to allow your feet to adjust. The provided thick laces are designed for durability and a snug fit.

Compatibility

These black leather Kick Hi boots are highly versatile:

  • Casual Wear: Pair them effortlessly with jeans, cargo trousers, or casual chinos for a classic, relaxed look.
  • Smart-Casual: Combine them with darker wash denim or smart trousers and a shirt for a refined yet approachable outfit.
  • Outerwear: They complement various jackets, from denim and leather jackets to more formal coats.

Their timeless black leather design ensures they can integrate into most wardrobe styles, making them a practical everyday choice.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and prolong the life of your black leather Kickers:

  1. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, especially if exposed to dirt or mud, wipe down the leather with a damp, soft cloth to remove surface grime. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Leather can dry out over time, leading to cracks. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear frequency. This keeps the leather supple and nourished. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth, let it soak in, then buff gently.
  3. Polishing: To restore shine and cover minor scuffs, use a black shoe polish. Apply with a cloth, let dry, then buff to a shine with a clean brush or cloth.
  4. Water Protection: While leather offers some natural water resistance, consider applying a waterproofing spray or wax designed for leather to protect against rain and moisture, especially in wet climates. Always follow product instructions.
  5. Drying: If your boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the leather.
  6. Storage: When not in use, store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  7. Sole Care: Periodically check the chunky sole for embedded debris. Clean with a stiff brush if necessary.
