FAQs
How do I clean the nubuck upper?
To clean the nubuck upper, use a soft nubuck brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For deeper cleaning or stubborn marks, apply a specialized nubuck cleaner sparingly and follow the product's specific instructions. Always allow the boots to air dry completely.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the nubuck leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, Kickers Kick Hi boots are not fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, we recommend applying a suitable waterproof protector spray designed for nubuck leather.
Do Kickers Kick Hi boots run true to size?
Kickers generally run true to size. However, individual fit can vary. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size.
Can I wear these boots in all weather conditions?
These boots are well-suited for everyday wear in dry to moderately damp conditions. For heavy rain, snow, or extreme wet weather, we advise wearing footwear with dedicated waterproofing to protect your feet and the boots.
How should I store my Kick Hi boots?
Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb any lingering moisture, extending their lifespan.
What type of socks should I wear with these boots for comfort?
For optimal comfort and to prevent rubbing, we recommend wearing mid-to-thick socks made of breathable materials such as cotton or wool blends. This also helps with moisture management inside the boot.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable, especially when new.
Breaking In New Boots: Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Consider wearing thicker socks or using a boot stretcher specifically designed for leather to gently expand tight areas. Leather will naturally soften and mold to your feet over time.
Nubuck upper appears dirty, scuffed, or matted.
Cleaning Nubuck: Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the leather. For more stubborn marks, apply a small amount of a dedicated nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaky Soles: A squeaking sound can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the boot's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the boot and the underside of the insole with talcum powder, then reinserting it. If the squeak is from the outsole, ensure the boots are completely dry, as moisture can sometimes cause this.
Boots feel too tight or too loose.
Fit Adjustment: Ensure you are wearing socks of appropriate thickness. For tightness, consider a professional shoe stretcher service or dedicated stretching sprays. For looseness, adding a thin insole or adjusting lacing techniques can help improve the fit.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your nubuck leather boots:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality nubuck and suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated nubuck brush (often with rubber or brass bristles) to gently brush off dry dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks or minor stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner according to the product's instructions. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth or sponge.
- Drying: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
- Avoid: Do not use conventional leather polishes, waxes, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the nubuck finish.
