Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using these shoes is straightforward:
- Unbuckle the strap: Release the buckle on the Mary Jane strap.
- Slide foot in: Guide the child's foot into the shoe.
- Adjust and fasten: Pull the strap over the instep and secure the buckle. Ensure it's snug but not too tight, allowing for comfortable movement.
Compatibility
- School Uniforms: These shoes are perfectly suited for most school uniform policies due to their classic black patent leather finish and traditional design.
- Everyday Wear: While ideal for school, their durable and comfortable nature also makes them suitable for general everyday wear, formal events, or family outings.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Kickers Mary Jane Bow Shoes:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the patent leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light scuffs. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used.
- Shine Maintenance: To restore the patent leather's shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth and then buffed.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the patent leather finish.
- Air Drying: If shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
