FAQs
How do I clean my Kickers Kick Hi School Shoes?
Wipe them regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For a deeper clean and to restore shine, use black shoe polish or cream. Apply leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple. Allow them to air dry naturally if they get wet.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the high-quality leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles may lead to water penetration. We recommend treating them with a suitable leather protector spray for enhanced water resistance.
How long do Kickers Kick Hi School Shoes typically last?
Designed for durability, these shoes are built to withstand the rigors of daily school wear. With proper care and regular cleaning, they can last for an entire school year or more, depending on the child's activity level and growth rate.
Are these shoes suitable for sports or physical education (PE)?
No, these shoes are designed for general school wear and offer comfort and support for everyday activities. They are not intended for sports or strenuous physical education classes, which require specialized athletic footwear for safety and performance.
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
These shoes are a UK children's size 6. For the best fit, measure your child's foot length and compare it to a standard UK children's shoe size chart. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Can these shoes be resoled?
Yes, it is often possible to resole Kickers Kick Hi shoes, extending their lifespan. We recommend consulting a professional cobbler for this service to ensure it is done correctly and maintains the shoe's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage the child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can also help cushion the foot during this period. The leather will soften and mold to the foot over time.
Scuffs and marks appear on the leather.
For light scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe them away. For deeper scuffs, apply a small amount of black shoe polish or a specialized leather restorer directly to the mark, then buff gently with a clean cloth. Regular polishing helps prevent and hide minor abrasions.
Shoes have an odor.
Ensure shoes are aired out regularly after wear. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Always wear socks to help absorb moisture and prevent odor buildup.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
New soles can sometimes be a bit slick. The grip will improve with wear as the sole texture becomes slightly roughened. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. If persistent, consider consulting a cobbler for sole treatment, though this is rare with new Kickers.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Kickers:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe shoes regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used.
- Polishing: Apply a black shoe polish or cream specifically designed for leather to nourish the material and restore shine. Apply in small circular motions, then buff with a clean cloth or brush.
- Drying Wet Shoes: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can crack or damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out and cracking.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help them retain their shape.
