Kickers Fragma Lace Up Shoes - Black - Leather - UK 4

Yes, with their classic black leather design and durable construction, Kickers Fragma Lace Up Shoes are an excellent and popular choice for many school uniform policies.

Micro-fresh technology is an antimicrobial treatment applied to the shoes to prevent the growth of bacteria that cause odors, helping to keep your feet feeling fresh and hygienic throughout the day.

These are UK Size 4. It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it with a Kickers size guide, or ideally, have them try on the shoes to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit, leaving a small space at the toe.

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend treating them with a suitable leather protector spray to enhance water repellency, and allowing them to air dry naturally if they get wet.

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for matte leather. Allow to air dry, and avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Yes, standard shoe laces of appropriate length can be purchased from shoe stores or online. Look for sturdy laces suitable for a formal or school shoe.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Using thick socks or a shoe stretcher can also help soften the leather.

For light scuffs, a soft cloth and a dab of leather conditioner can help. For deeper marks, use a black shoe polish specifically designed for matte leather, applying gently and buffing.

Ensure shoes are allowed to air out completely after each wear. Consider using a deodorizing shoe spray or placing baking soda sachets inside when not in use. Regular cleaning of the inner sole can also help.

Ensure you are using a strong, double knot or a 'reef knot' to secure the laces. Check if the laces are worn and need replacement if they are too smooth to hold a knot effectively.
