Kickers Fragma - Leather - Black - UK 9

The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector or waterproofing spray to offer resistance against light rain and moisture. Avoid heavy saturation.

These shoes are listed in UK adult male sizing. Generally, Kickers fit true to size. If you are unsure, it's best to measure your foot or try them on to ensure the most comfortable fit.

While designed for everyday and smart-casual wear, their classic black leather finish allows them to be dressed up for semi-formal occasions, depending on the overall outfit and dress code.

For optimal longevity and appearance, wipe them down after each wear. Condition the leather every 2-4 weeks with regular use, or as needed if the leather appears dry or dull.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees (preferably cedar) will help absorb moisture and maintain their shape, preventing creasing.

With proper care, including regular cleaning, conditioning, and occasional polishing with black shoe polish, the color should remain rich and vibrant. Exposure to harsh elements and lack of care can lead to fading.

The sole is sturdy and designed for durability. While not designed for easy user replacement, a skilled cobbler might be able to repair or resole them if extensive wear occurs, extending their lifespan.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can help reduce friction during the break-in period. Regular conditioning will also help soften the leather over time.

Clean the affected area, then apply a suitable black leather polish or renovator cream. Buff gently with a soft cloth to blend and restore the finish.

Ensure you are using a strong, secure knot (e.g., a square knot or double knot). If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces.

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, clean and condition the leather. Consider applying a leather protector spray regularly to prevent future water damage.

Info needed: [While durable, soles can wear with heavy use. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for repair or resoling to extend the life of your shoes.]
