Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Kickers Kick T Bar Shoes is straightforward:
- Open the Buckle: Unfasten the side buckle.
- Insert Foot: Slide the foot into the shoe.
- Adjust Strap: Pull the T-bar strap to achieve a comfortable, secure fit around the foot.
- Fasten Buckle: Secure the buckle through the appropriate hole. Ensure it's not too tight to pinch, nor too loose to allow the foot to slip.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for kids (specifically UK size 2 for this variant, but available in other children's sizes) and are primarily styled for female wear, aligning with typical school shoe guidelines. Their black color and classic design make them widely compatible with most school uniforms.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your patent leather shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the patent leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap solution.
- Shine Maintenance: To restore the high-gloss shine, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth, then buff gently.
- Scuff Prevention: While durable, patent leather can scuff. Avoid dragging feet or rubbing against rough surfaces. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with patent leather polish.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
