FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather offers natural resistance to light rain and moisture, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in puddles.
How do I know if the size 8 fits my toddler?
Size 8 UK corresponds to a standard toddler measurement. Use the 'thumb test' to ensure there is enough room for movement.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the sole's construction. Always clean by hand.
Is the sole non-slip?
The sole is designed with a high-traction pattern that provides good grip on most standard playground and indoor surfaces.
Does the ankle support limit movement?
No, the hi-top design is meant to provide guidance and stability without restricting the natural flexing of the ankle joint.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
Leather footwear may require a short 'break-in' period. Have your toddler wear them for short durations indoors before full-day outdoor use.
Scuff marks on the leather
Use a leather-safe cleaning cream or a simple wax polish matching the brown color to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your toddler gets the most out of their Kickers Playflex Hi Boots, focus on proper fit and maintenance.
- Fitting: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the big toe and the front of the boot to allow for growth.
- Care: Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple. Wipe off mud or dirt with a slightly damp cloth after outdoor play and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking.
- Compatibility: These boots are designed for standard toddler feet and pair best with cotton or wool-blend socks to manage moisture.
