Kickers Kick Hi Suede Shoes - Brown - Boots - UK 8

No, these boots are made of suede and are not waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.

Regular brushing after wear helps maintain the suede. Deep cleaning with a suede cleaner is recommended as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains.

It is not recommended to wear suede boots in heavy rain as the material can be damaged and stained by water.

Mid-weight cotton or wool socks are generally comfortable. Thicker socks can help with break-in and provide extra warmth.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Using a suede protector spray can also help preserve the color.

The thick cotton laces are part of the iconic Kickers design and provide a secure and durable fastening mechanism.

While specific resoling services for Kickers boots can vary, the durable rubber outsole is designed for longevity. Consult a professional shoe repair service for potential resoling options.

Use a suede brush for light dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to dry naturally and brush again.

Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to help them stretch naturally. If they remain too tight, consider if a different size might be more suitable.

Ensure the soles are clean. If the issue persists on very smooth surfaces, consider a rubber sole grip accessory.
