FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school?
Yes, the Kickers KICK T BAR shoes, with their classic black leather and T-bar design, are specifically described as perfect for school and meet most uniform requirements.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For wet shoes, always dry them naturally away from direct heat or light to prevent leather damage. Regular polishing is recommended to maintain their look.
Is the buckle adjustable?
Yes, the T-bar design features a buckle side fastening that allows for adjustment to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for your child's foot.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Kickers uses 20% recycled material in the black rubber soles, sources leather from Leather Working Group certified tanneries, and uses FSC certified shoeboxes made with 90% recycled material and natural soya ink, all 100% recyclable.
What is the heel height?
The shoes feature a low heel, measuring between 2.5cm and 4.9cm, providing comfort and stability for active children.
My child says the shoes are heavy. Is this normal?
The item weight is listed as 1 KG. While this can vary by size, it indicates a robust construction. If concern persists, ensure the fit is correct and the child is accustomed to the style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the buckle is not overtightened. The shoes are regular width, so check for signs of growth if previously comfortable. Leather can soften slightly with wear.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur between the sole and the shoe's internal structure. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. If persistent, check for loose parts or consult a shoe repair specialist.
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the shoes thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable black leather polish or renovator. Buff gently with a soft cloth for shine and protection.
Soles show excessive wear quickly
While made from durable rubber, intense activities can accelerate wear. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended purpose (school/casual). Consider rotating with other footwear for very active play.

Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the shoes from their FSC certified shoebox, which is made from 90% recycled material.
- Adjust Buckle: Fasten the T-bar buckle, making sure the strap is adjusted to provide a snug yet comfortable fit around your child's foot. Ensure there's enough room for movement without the foot slipping.
- First Wear: Have your child walk around indoors for a short period to confirm the fit and comfort before extended outdoor use. This helps in breaking in the leather gently.
Compatibility
- Age Group: These shoes are specifically designed for kids.
- Size: This particular product is UK children's size 11. Please refer to sizing guides for accurate measurements if unsure.
- Style: The classic black T-bar design makes them compatible with most school uniform policies and suitable for casual daily wear.
- Materials: Made with a leather upper, polyurethane lining, and rubber sole.
Care
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more persistent marks, use a cleaner specifically formulated for leather footwear.
- Drying Wet Shoes: If the shoes become wet, it is crucial to air dry them naturally. Place them in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or heaters) and direct sunlight. Direct heat can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or stiffen. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Leather Conditioning: Regularly apply a good quality black shoe polish or leather conditioner to nourish the leather, maintain its appearance, and provide a protective layer. Buff gently with a soft brush or cloth for a clean finish.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or damp environments.
