Kickers Kick Lo J Core Shoes - Black Leather - Size UK 12

Yes, these Kickers School Shoes are specifically designed for daily use in a school environment. Their durable leather upper and robust rubber sole are built to withstand the rigors of active wear, providing long-lasting performance and comfort.

To clean, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more thorough cleaning and to maintain the leather's condition, use a specialized leather cleaner and then apply a black leather polish. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

These shoes feature a leather upper which provides a good level of water resistance, making them suitable for light rain or wet conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for prolonged immersion in water.

New leather shoes can feel stiff at first. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration over several days or a week. Wearing thicker socks during the break-in period can also enhance comfort and prevent rubbing.

Yes, Kickers is committed to sustainability. These shoes feature BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) laces, and black rubber soles are made from 20% recycled material. All leathers come from Leather Working Group certified tanneries, and shoeboxes are FSC certified using recycled material and natural soya ink.

While this specific guide is for the Black UK 12 size, Kickers Kick Lo school shoes are available in a wide range of children's sizes and sometimes other finishes. Please check product listings for available variants.

Ensure you are using a strong, secure knot. A double knot (tying a second loop after the first bow) can significantly improve lace security. Check if the laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are too smooth or frayed.

Kickers shoes, especially new leather ones, require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Wearing thicker socks can also help cushion your feet during this phase.

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth and a dab of black leather polish. For deeper marks, a dedicated leather repair balm or dye may be needed. Regular polishing helps minimize the appearance of future scuffs.

Squeaking can be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and outsole, or by loose components. Try removing the insole (if removable) and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside. If the squeak persists, check for any loose stitching or parts on the sole.

Ensure you have the correct size. If the fit is slightly snug, leather shoes can stretch a little with wear. You can also try wearing them with thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher for minor adjustments. If they are significantly too small, an alternative size may be necessary.
