FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-weather wear?
The faux leather upper offers good water resistance against light rain and splashes, but these shoes are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water. For heavy rain, we recommend additional protective measures.
How do I ensure I get the correct size for my child?
These shoes are in UK Child sizing. We recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to a standard UK children's shoe size chart. It's often best to measure both feet and choose the size based on the larger foot.
Can these shoes be worn for sports or active play?
While durable and comfortable for general daily activities and playground use, these shoes are designed for school and everyday wear, not for specialized sports or high-impact athletic activities. For sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
These shoes feature a flat heel, which is under 2.5cm, providing stability and comfort suitable for children.
Is the material breathable?
The textile lining offers comfort, and faux leather generally provides a moderate level of breathability. However, it may not be as breathable as genuine leather, especially during very warm weather or extended, strenuous activity.
Do these shoes come with a warranty?
Info needed: Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty policy for details on coverage and duration.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle to a different hole on the strap. Ensure there is enough space to fit one finger between the strap and the foot for a comfortable, secure fit.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many new shoes, these may require a short 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for shorter durations at first, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure socks are worn to prevent rubbing.
Faux leather upper appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the shoes regularly with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a small amount of faux leather conditioner or a black shoe polish specifically designed for synthetic materials can help restore their appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole seems slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber sole is designed for grip. Ensure the sole is clean and free from dirt or debris that could reduce traction. For very slick surfaces, extra caution is advised, as no shoe can prevent all slips.
Foot odor develops.
Allow the shoes to air out completely between wears. Consider using shoe deodorizers or insoles designed to combat odor. Ensure your child wears clean, breathable socks daily.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Stylish and Classic Design: The Mary Jane T-Bar style is versatile for school and casual wear.

- Comfortable Interior: Textile lining enhances comfort for all-day wear.
- Secure Fit: Buckle closure allows for adjustable and snug fit.

Cons
- Faux Leather Material: May offer less breathability compared to genuine leather, potentially leading to warmer feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Kickers Kick T Bar Shoes is straightforward:
- Loosen the buckle: Before putting the shoe on, loosen the buckle strap sufficiently.
- Slide foot in: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is seated comfortably at the back.
- Fasten the buckle: Pull the strap across the top of the foot and thread it through the buckle.
- Adjust for comfort: Tighten or loosen the strap until the shoe feels secure but not too tight. There should be enough room for comfortable movement without slipping.
Compatibility
These shoes are highly compatible with:
- School Uniforms: Their classic black Mary Jane style makes them an ideal match for most school dress codes.
- Everyday Outfits: They also pair well with casual wear such as jeans, skirts, or dresses for non-school days.
- Various Activities: Suitable for walking, light play, and general daily activities that do not require specialized athletic footwear.
Care
Proper care will help extend the life of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe the faux leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution diluted with water, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the material.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the shoes in water, as this can affect the materials and construction.
