Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Like all new leather shoes, these may require a 'breaking-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Leather conditioners can also help soften the material.
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Then, apply a small amount of black shoe polish or leather conditioner using a soft cloth, buffing gently to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
Shoes become wet or damp
Immediately remove any excess moisture with a clean, dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
Buckle seems loose and won't stay fastened
Ensure the buckle is threaded correctly through the loop and securely fastened. If the buckle itself is damaged, contact customer support or a shoe repair specialist for advice.

Setup & First Use
Upon receiving your Kickers Kick T I shoes, simply unbuckle the T-bar strap, allow your child to step in, and then re-fasten the buckle. Adjust the buckle until the shoe feels secure and comfortable on your child's foot, ensuring it's not too tight or too loose. Encourage your child to walk a few steps to confirm the fit before extended wear.
Compatibility
These Kickers shoes are designed for infants, specifically UK size 8.5, suitable for both boys and girls. Their classic black leather and T-bar design make them compatible with most school uniform regulations and a wide range of casual outfits.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for black leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, always allow them to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers) or strong sunlight. Direct heat can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
- Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a suitable leather conditioner or shoe polish periodically. This also helps maintain their water resistance.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. The provided FSC certified shoebox is ideal for storage and can be recycled after use.
- Sole Care: The rubber sole requires minimal care beyond wiping clean. The 20% recycled material in the sole contributes to its durability and environmental profile.
