Kickers Fragma Lace Shoe - Leather - Black - UK 6

For everyday wear, a quick wipe-down after each use is recommended. A full polish and conditioning should be done every 2-4 weeks, depending on wear and environmental conditions, or whenever the leather starts to look dull.

These shoes are made of leather, which offers some natural resistance to moisture but is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-specific water-resistant spray for added protection in wet conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

Yes, the laces are replaceable. You can purchase standard replacement shoelaces of appropriate length and thickness from most shoe retailers. This allows for customization or replacement if the original laces wear out.

Always ensure you are buying the correct UK shoe size. When trying them on, wear the type of socks you typically would. There should be a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The laces should allow for a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight.

For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, we recommend wearing cotton or wool blend socks. These materials are breathable and help prevent friction, reducing the risk of blisters, especially during the breaking-in period.

Yes, as with most quality leather footwear, a 'breaking-in' period is advisable. The leather will gradually soften and conform to the unique shape of your feet, improving comfort over time. Start with shorter periods of wear.

Leather shoes often require a 'breaking-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Using thicker socks or a shoe stretcher can help accelerate the process. Leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Clean the shoes thoroughly with a damp cloth. Apply a good quality black shoe polish, following the product instructions, then buff to a shine with a clean cloth or brush. For deeper scuffs, a leather dye pen can be used before polishing.

Squeaking can be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. If the squeak persists, it might be a structural issue that requires professional attention.

Ensure you are tying a proper square knot. You can also try double-knotting for extra security. Replacing worn-out laces with new, slightly thicker laces can also help them stay tied better.
