FAQs

How do I clean my Kickers Kick Hi boots?

Wipe off surface dirt with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner. For patent leather, use a specialized patent cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, Kickers Kick Hi boots are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray to enhance their water resistance.

How long does it typically take to break in these boots?

The break-in period can vary for individuals but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear. Wearing thick socks and gradually increasing wear time can help speed up the process.

Can I wear these boots in all seasons?

Kickers Kick Hi boots are generally well-suited for cooler weather due to their robust construction and leather material. While they can be worn year-round, they may be too warm for very hot summer days.

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 advisable to try on both sizes to determine the best fit, or consult a detailed size chart if available. Always try them on with the type of socks you plan to wear.

How do I maintain the shine of the patent leather finish?

For patent leather, use a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialized patent leather cleaner. You can also use a small amount of mild soap and water. Gently wipe the surface and buff to restore its original shine. Avoid abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable during initial wear.

This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in gradually. Using thick socks or a leather stretching spray can also help.

Scuffs or minor marks appear on the leather surface.

For minor scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft cloth and a dedicated leather cleaner/conditioner. For patent leather, use a specific patent leather cleaner and buff gently. For deeper marks, a matching leather polish can help conceal them.

Sole appears dirty or loses its grip over time.

Regularly clean the sole with a stiff brush and water to remove embedded dirt and debris. Ensure the chunky tread is clear for optimal grip performance.

Feet feel sweaty or uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., cotton or wool blends) that wick moisture. Allow the boots to air out thoroughly between wears. Consider using shoe deodorizers or odor absorbers.

Leather appears dry, dull, or starts to show fine cracks.

This indicates a lack of moisture. Apply a quality leather conditioner generously, allowing it to soak into the leather before buffing off any excess. Regular conditioning is key to preventing this issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care ensures the longevity and appearance of your Kickers Kick Hi boots.

Initial Setup

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the boots from their packaging.
  2. Try On: Wear the boots with the type of socks you typically intend to wear. Ensure a comfortable fit with adequate toe room.
  3. Lacing: Lace them snugly but not excessively tight, allowing for natural foot movement.

Compatibility

  • Apparel: These boots are highly versatile, compatible with casual and smart-casual clothing, including denim, chinos, skirts, and dresses.
  • Socks: For best comfort and to prevent rubbing, wear comfortable, moisture-wicking socks.

Care & Maintenance

  1. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, wipe down the boots with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt, dust, and surface grime. For patent finishes, a soft, lint-free cloth is essential.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 1-2 months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. For patent leather, use a specialized patent cleaner/conditioner.
  3. Polishing: For the patent finish, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner and polish to maintain its signature shine. For other leather types, a matching shoe polish can restore color and luster.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a waterproof spray designed for leather to protect the boots from moisture and stains, especially if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.
  5. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Use boot trees or stuff them with paper to help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your boots. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
