FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for infants who are just starting to walk?
Yes, the Kickers Fragma shoes feature a padded ankle collar for support and a durable rubber outsole for grip, making them well-suited for infants who are learning to take their first steps and those who are already active walkers.
How do the 'touch and close double fasteners' work?
The 'touch and close double fastener' refers to two adjustable hook-and-loop (often known as Velcro-style) straps. These allow you to easily open the shoe wide for placement of your infant's foot, and then securely fasten and adjust the fit with minimal effort.
Can these leather shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles should be avoided to prevent damage to the leather and maintain comfort. If they get wet, air dry them away from direct heat.
What is the best way to clean the black leather upper?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For more thorough cleaning or scuffs, use a specialized black leather cleaner or polish and follow the product's instructions. Remember to condition the leather periodically to keep it supple.
Are replacement parts, like the fasteners, available if they wear out?
Replacement parts for specific components like the fasteners are generally not available for individual purchase. However, the fasteners are designed for durability. If issues arise, assess whether professional shoe repair is an option or if the shoes have reached the end of their usable life.
Do these shoes run true to size for infants?
Kickers generally aim for consistent sizing. However, infant foot sizes can vary greatly and grow quickly. It's always best to measure your infant's foot and compare it to a Kickers size chart, if available, to ensure the best fit, especially since this is a specific UK 3 Infant size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose on my infant's foot.
Ensure the touch and close fasteners are adjusted correctly. If the issue persists, double-check your infant's current foot size against a sizing guide, as infants' feet grow rapidly. It's possible a different size is needed.
Leather appears dry, stiff, or is showing minor cracks.
The leather needs conditioning. Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, allow to air dry, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or cream to moisturize and restore flexibility to the leather. Avoid excessive exposure to direct heat or prolonged moisture.
The rubber outsole seems to be losing grip or collecting dirt easily.
Regularly clean the sole of the shoes with a stiff brush or old toothbrush and water to remove embedded dirt and debris, which can reduce traction. Ensure the sole is thoroughly dry before use.
Signature green logo tabs or stitching appear worn.
While these elements are durable, general wear can occur. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. For significant wear, consider professional shoe repair, though this is rare for infant shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Open Fasteners: Fully open both touch and close fasteners on each shoe.
- Position Foot: Gently guide your infant's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Adjust Fit: Securely close the fasteners over the top of the foot. Ensure they are firm but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement and comfort.
- Check Comfort: Observe your child's reaction. There should be a small amount of wiggle room at the toes (approximately a thumb's width).
Compatibility
- Age Group: Designed for infants.
- Size: Specifically UK 3 Infant. Ensure this size corresponds to your child's current foot measurements.
- Gender: Marketed for junior boys, but the classic black style can be suitable for any infant.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Kickers Fragma shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for the type of leather.
- Info needed: [Specific leather type recommendation if different from general leather care.]
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before first wear.
- Sole Care: Regularly check the rubber outsole for embedded debris and clean as needed to maintain optimal grip.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
