FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

Yes, the Kickers Kick T Velcro shoes are specifically designed for durability and comfort, making them ideal for daily school wear, including active playtimes.

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

We recommend measuring your child's foot and checking the Kickers size guide. Always allow about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some natural resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For better protection in wet weather, we recommend applying a water-resistant spray suitable for leather.

What is the best way to clean the leather?

Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.

What does 'chunky outsole' mean for my child?

The chunky outsole provides enhanced grip and durability, which is excellent for active children on various surfaces. It also offers extra cushioning and protection for the foot.

Is the T-bar style comfortable for wide feet?

The adjustable hook and loop (Velcro) strap allows for a customizable fit, which can accommodate a range of foot widths, providing comfort for many children, including those with slightly wider feet.

How long do these shoes typically last?

With proper care and maintenance, the high-quality leather, triple stitching, and robust outsole are designed to make these shoes very durable and last a full school term or longer, depending on the child's activity level and growth.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the hook and loop strap is not overtightened. The leather may need a short break-in period; wear them for shorter periods initially. Check sock thickness. If discomfort persists, reassess sizing.

Velcro strap is losing its grip.

Clean any lint, dirt, or debris from both parts of the hook and loop fasteners using a stiff brush or tweezers. This often restores grip.

Leather looks dull or dry.

Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or polish. This will restore moisture and shine to the leather. Follow product instructions.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Sometimes a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. Replace the insole.

Shoes get scuffed easily.

Regularly apply shoe polish matching the shoe's color. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather repair cream might be necessary. Consider teaching the child to be mindful of rubbing shoes against surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove shoes from packaging.
  2. Initial Fit: Have the child try on both shoes with appropriate socks. Ensure there is a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
  3. Adjust Straps: Secure the hook and loop strap to achieve a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. The foot should not slide inside the shoe, and the strap should lie flat.

Compatibility

  • These shoes are designed for children, specifically for school wear or durable everyday use.
  • They are suitable for various foot widths due to the adjustable Velcro strap, accommodating different foot shapes.
  • Best paired with school uniforms or casual attire where a smart, durable shoe is required.

Care

  • Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
  • Deep Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
  • Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is crucial for genuine leather.
  • Water Protection: Consider using a water-resistant spray designed for leather to protect against rain and spills.
  • Drying: If shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Odour Control: If needed, use shoe deodorizers or allow shoes to air out regularly to prevent odors.
