Care Instructions:
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather Kickers Kick Hi Boots.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust after each use. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., monthly, or as needed based on use) to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and avoid cracking.
- Water Protection: While durable, leather is not naturally waterproof. Apply a water-resistant spray or wax designed for leather to protect against rain and moisture. Reapply as per product instructions.
- Drying: If boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Sole Care: Regularly check the chunky rubber sole for embedded debris and clean the tread for optimal grip. If the sole shows significant wear, consider professional resoling to extend the life of the boots.
