Ensure your toddler is standing upright. There should be about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. Check that the widest part of their foot aligns with the widest part of the shoe and that their heel is secure but not pinched.
The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, and the aggressive tread offers good grip. However, they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or snow, additional waterproofing treatment is recommended, and prolonged exposure to wet conditions should be avoided.
No, these shoes should not be machine washed. Machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning.
Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the aggressive tread. You can also use a damp cloth to wipe it clean. Ensure the sole is dry before storage to prevent mildew.
The lifespan of toddler shoes varies greatly depending on activity level, care, and how quickly the child's feet grow. Kickers Kick Hi are built for durability, but you should regularly check for signs of excessive wear on the sole and upper, and most importantly, ensure they still fit your child's growing feet comfortably.
Kickers generally run true to size, but foot sizes can vary between children. It's always best to measure your child's feet and compare with a standard UK children's shoe size chart, or ideally, have them professionally fitted.
Check the fit regularly. Toddlers' feet grow quickly. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space at the end of the shoe. Adjust lacing for a snug but comfortable fit. If consistently too tight or loose, the size may be incorrect.
Try double-knotting the laces to secure them better. Ensure the laces are tied firmly but not too tightly. Consider replacing worn laces if they no longer hold a knot well.
For light scuffs, a soft damp cloth can help. For deeper marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or polish in the appropriate color. Regular cleaning and conditioning can minimize their appearance.
The chunky midsole is designed for durability, but over time, wear and tear can reduce cushioning. If insoles are removable, consider replacing them with new, supportive ones. If the structural integrity of the shoe is compromised, it may be time for new footwear.

Setup and First Use:1. Fully unlace the shoes before the first wear.2. Have your toddler wear socks they would typically wear with the shoes. Open the laces wide to easily slide their foot in.3. Gently pull the laces to snug the shoe around the foot. Ensure there's enough room for toes to wiggle, approximately a thumb's width from the longest toe to the shoe's end.4. Tie the laces securely, but not too tightly to avoid restricting circulation or comfort.

For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for the material. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and crack the leather.- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially during wetter seasons.- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, stuff with newspaper or shoe trees to maintain shape.
