FAQs
What age are these Kickers T-Bar shoes suitable for?
These specific shoes are designed for infants in UK size 6. Please refer to a size guide to ensure it matches your child's current foot length, as infant growth can be rapid.
How do I clean the leather upper?
For daily cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs and to maintain the leather's condition, use a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner or a black shoe polish. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes suitable for infants who are just starting to walk?
Yes, the chunky sole and secure T-bar design provide good support and stability, making them suitable for infants who are crawling, cruising, or taking their first steps. The leather also allows feet to breathe naturally.
What is the 'stitchdown construction' feature?
Stitchdown construction is a traditional method where the upper material is turned outwards and stitched directly to the sole. This technique enhances the shoe's durability, flexibility, and a degree of water resistance (though they are not fully waterproof).
How do I ensure I get the correct size for my infant?
It's highly recommended to measure your infant's feet, as sizes can vary between brands. Look for a Kickers size chart that includes UK infant sizes. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your infant's longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Can these shoes be worn in all weather?
The leather upper offers some protection from light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For wet weather, consider waterproof footwear. For best longevity, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and allow them to dry naturally if they do get wet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose after fastening.
Re-adjust the hook and loop strap. Ensure the strap is secure but not overly constricting. Check foot length against the shoe's size; consult a foot measuring guide if unsure of the correct size for your infant.
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper scuffs, use a suitable black leather polish or renovator. Apply a leather conditioner to restore shine and suppleness, always following product instructions.
Infant resists wearing the shoes or tries to kick them off.
Ensure the shoes are not too tight or too loose. Check for any seams or labels that might be irritating. Introduce shoes gradually during short playtimes to help your infant get accustomed to them. Distract them with toys.
Straps don't seem to hold securely or detach easily.
Check if any debris, lint, or fabric is stuck to the hook and loop fasteners. Clean them gently with a stiff brush or tweezers. If the fasteners appear worn, contact customer support for advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Open the Strap: Fully open the hook and loop T-bar strap.
- Position Foot: Gently guide your infant's foot into the shoe, ensuring toes lie flat and aren't curled.
- Secure Strap: Fasten the hook and loop strap firmly but comfortably across the top of the foot. Ensure it's snug enough to prevent slipping but not so tight as to restrict movement or circulation.
- Check Fit: After fastening, ensure there's enough room at the toe (about a thumb's width) and that the heel doesn't slip when your infant moves.

- Size: UK Size 6.

Care
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and scuffs immediately with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialist leather cleaner suitable for children's shoes.
- Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a small amount of leather conditioner periodically.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
