FAQs
How do I best clean the patent leather on these shoes?
Wipe the patent leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For a polished look, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner and a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes suitable for school uniforms?
Yes, with their classic black patent finish and T-bar design, these Kickers shoes are a popular and appropriate choice for most school uniform policies.
What does 'durable sole' mean for daily use?
The 'durable sole' indicates that the sole is constructed from robust materials designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of active children, providing long-lasting grip and support on various surfaces.
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
It is always best to measure your child's feet and refer to Kickers' specific size guide. Remember that children's feet grow quickly, so regular checks are advised. This particular pair is a UK 5 Child.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the patent leather offers some water resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain and puddles. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are the colourful branded tabs removable?
The colourful Kickers branded tabs are a signature feature and are typically stitched into the shoe. They are not designed to be removed.
My child finds the shoes a bit stiff. What should I do?
As with many new leather shoes, a short break-in period is normal. Encourage your child to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mould to their feet. Wearing good quality socks can also help.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the strap and buckle mechanism are clean and free of dirt or debris. Check that the strap is aligned correctly with the buckle pin. If new, the leather may be stiff; gently work the strap through the buckle a few times to soften it.
Patent leather appears dull or scuffed easily.
Regularly wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. For shine, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner and polisher. For minor scuffs, a small amount of petroleum jelly can sometimes help, or consider a specialized patent leather repair product.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure the shoes are the correct size (UK 5 Child for this specific pair). Wear them with appropriate socks to add cushioning. If newly purchased, allow for a short break-in period for the leather to soften and conform to the foot. Check if the padded collar is correctly positioned.
Sole is losing grip or appears worn quickly.
While the sole is durable, extreme conditions or prolonged heavy use can cause wear. Ensure the sole is clean, as embedded dirt can reduce grip. If wear is significant or premature, contact customer support or a shoe repair specialist for assessment.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Kickers Kick T Bar Shoes:

- Sole Care: Clean the durable sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove mud and debris.
- Drying: If wet, allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Scuff Repair: For minor scuffs on patent leather, a small amount of petroleum jelly or a specialized patent leather repair product can often help minimize their appearance. Info needed: [Specific product recommendation for patent leather repair]
