FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, Kickers Kick T Bar shoes are specifically designed as hard-wearing school shoes, built to withstand daily use and playground activities.
How do I clean the patent leather material?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For scuffs and to maintain shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or polish. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are they comfortable for active children?
Yes, they feature a comfort-focused design, a flat heel, and a secure buckle fastening, making them suitable for active children throughout the school day.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
If the shoes get wet, dry them naturally. Place them in an area away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight to prevent damage to the leather.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
These shoes have a flat heel, which is under 2.5cm, providing stability and comfort ideal for school environments.
Do these shoes come with recycled components?
Yes, Kickers incorporates eco-conscious practices; these shoes feature 100% recycled mesh for lined styles, shoeboxes made with 90% recycled material, and black rubber soles made from 20% recycled content. Leathers are also sourced from LWG certified tanneries.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or dullness on patent leather surface.
Clean the shoes regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks or to enhance shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a dab of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth, then buff.
Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing.
Ensure the buckle is adjusted correctly – it should be secure but not constricting. Check if the socks are too thick. Leather shoes often need a short 'wearing-in' period; wearing them for shorter periods initially can help them soften and adapt to the foot.
Buckle keeps coming undone or feels loose.
Verify that the buckle prong is fully engaged in the chosen hole. If the leather strap has stretched over time, try using a tighter hole. Ensure the buckle mechanism itself isn't damaged.
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
While the cleated sole provides good grip, some highly polished surfaces can still be slippery. Ensure the soles are clean and free of mud or debris. If the cleated pattern is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider new footwear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Durability: High-quality leather and a cleated rubber sole ensure longevity, even with active use.
- Secure and Adjustable Fit: The buckle fastening allows for a customized and secure fit, essential for growing feet.
- Classic and Smart Aesthetic: The patent T-bar design provides a traditional yet stylish look suitable for all school uniforms.
- Playground Ready: Built to withstand rough and tumble play, offering good grip and support.
- Sustainable Practices: Incorporates recycled and ethically sourced materials in its construction and packaging.
Cons
- Patent Leather Maintenance: The patent finish, while stylish, can be prone to scuffs and may require frequent cleaning to maintain its shine.
- Initial Stiffness: As with many leather shoes, they might require a short 'wearing-in' period to soften and conform to the foot.
- Weight: At approximately 1kg per pair (Info needed: confirm if per pair or individual shoe), they might feel slightly heavier than some lighter footwear options.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Kickers Kick T Bar shoes is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the shoes from their FSC certified recyclable shoebox.
- Adjust Buckle: Place the shoe on your child's foot. Fasten the side buckle, adjusting it to the hole that provides a snug, secure fit without being too tight or uncomfortable. There should be enough room for socks.
- Walk Test: Have your child walk around to ensure the fit is comfortable and secure.
Compatibility
- School Uniforms: The black leather, classic T-bar design, and flat heel make these shoes highly compatible with most school uniform requirements.
- Foot Width: Designed with a 'regular' shoe width, suitable for a wide range of foot shapes. If your child has particularly wide or narrow feet, consider trying them on to ensure the best fit.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Kickers Kick T Bar shoes:
- Daily Cleaning: After each wear, wipe the patent leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. This helps maintain the patent shine.
- Scuff Marks: For minor scuffs or to restore shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or polish. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently.
- Drying Wet Shoes: If the shoes become wet, always dry them naturally in an area away from direct heat or light (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape over time.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the soles and stitching for any signs of wear and tear, addressing minor issues promptly to prevent further damage.
