FAQs

How do I clean my red leather Kick Hi boots?

Wipe off surface dirt with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, use a mild leather cleaner. Always follow up with a red leather conditioner to keep the material supple and maintain its color.

Are Kickers Kick Hi boots waterproof?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water. A leather protector spray can enhance their water repellency.

What size should I get if I usually wear a half size?

Kickers generally offer full UK sizes. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to size up, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Refer to a Kickers size chart if available for precise measurements.

How long do these boots typically last?

With proper care and regular maintenance, Kickers Kick Hi boots are known for their durability and can last for many years due to their high-quality leather and robust construction.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces are replaceable. You can easily find replacement laces online or in shoe stores. Ensure you choose laces of appropriate length and material for boot eyelets.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable when new.

Leather boots, especially new ones, often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. The leather will soften and mold to your feet over time.

Leather looks dull or dry.

This is a sign the leather needs nourishment. Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a generous amount of quality leather conditioner, working it into the leather. Buff with a soft cloth for a subtle sheen.

Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the leather.

For light scuffs, try rubbing the area gently with your finger or a soft cloth. For deeper marks, apply a small amount of matching red leather polish or dye, then buff.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the inside of the boot. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the sole construction and may lessen with wear.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Kick Hi Boots:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner suitable for red leather regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This also helps maintain the color's vibrancy.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
  4. Drying: If 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.
  5. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
