Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Kickers Kick Lo shoes is straightforward:
- Try for Fit: Upon receiving, try on both shoes with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that your heel feels secure without slipping excessively.
- Lacing: Lace them up snugly but not too tightly, allowing for comfortable foot movement. The branded eyelets are designed for durability during lacing.
Compatibility
- Sizing: These shoes are sized in UK measurements. Ensure you select the correct UK size for your foot. This specific model is Size UK 6.5 and is generally compatible with adult foot sizes in this range.
- Attire: The black leather and classic design make them highly compatible with a wide range of casual and semi-formal attire, including school uniforms, jeans, chinos, and casual trousers.
- Environments: Suited for everyday urban environments, school settings, and light outdoor activities. While durable, they are not specialized hiking or athletic shoes.
Care
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Kickers Kick Lo Black Leather shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe dirt and dust off the leather uppers regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner or polish to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its shine. Follow product instructions for application.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against moisture and spills. While the tough rubber sole offers good traction, the leather uppers are not waterproof.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Proper care will ensure your Kickers Kick Lo shoes remain comfortable, stylish, and durable for years to come.
