FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the Kickers FRAGMA T-BAR shoes are specifically designed for daily school use, offering comfort and durability for busy children.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For a more thorough clean and to maintain shine, use a quality black shoe polish or cream and buff with a soft cloth.
What kind of fastening do these shoes have?
These shoes feature a convenient touch-fasten (hook and loop) T-bar strap, allowing for easy and adjustable fastening.
Do they offer good grip for active children?
Yes, the chunky rubber outsole is designed to provide excellent grip and stability, making them suitable for active play during breaks.
Are these shoes heavy?
At approximately 0.44 KG per pair (for a UK 11), they are considered relatively lightweight, contributing to all-day comfort.
Can these shoes be worn in all weather conditions?
The leather upper provides some protection, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or treating them with a waterproof spray for added protection.
Is the insole removable for orthotics?
Info needed: Please check the product directly as specific details on insole removability for orthotics are not provided in the product data.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose after initial wear.
Adjust the touch-fasten strap. Ensure it is neither too tight to restrict circulation nor too loose causing the foot to slip. If persistent, check sizing against current foot measurements.
Leather upper appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, then apply a quality black shoe polish or cream. Buff with a soft cloth or brush to restore shine and cover minor marks. For deeper scuffs, specific leather repair kits may be needed.
Unpleasant odour developing inside the shoes.
Allow shoes to air out fully after each wear. Consider using moisture-absorbing shoe inserts or shoe deodorizers. Ensure socks are clean and changed daily to minimize bacterial growth.
Chunky rubber outsole seems to be losing grip.
Check the outsole for any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones and clean thoroughly with a stiff brush. Ensure the sole isn't excessively worn down, which can reduce grip. If wear is significant, professional repair or replacement may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started
- Sizing: Ensure you choose the correct UK children's size for your child's feet. It's recommended to have their feet measured periodically, as children's feet grow quickly.
- Initial Fit: When first trying on, ensure there's about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. Adjust the touch-fasten strap to achieve a snug, comfortable, but not tight, fit.
Compatibility
- These shoes are primarily designed as school uniform footwear for girls, compatible with standard dress codes requiring black leather shoes.
- They are suitable for everyday wear for active children, providing comfort and durability for both classroom and playground activities.
Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Kickers FRAGMA T-BAR shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For a deeper clean, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for patent leather if applicable, following product instructions.
- Polishing: To maintain the smart finish and protect the leather, apply a good quality black shoe polish or cream periodically. Buff gently with a soft brush or cloth for a shine.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather.
- Odour Control: The fabric lining is breathable, but for persistent odours, consider using shoe deodorizers or airing them out frequently.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Outsole: Regularly check the chunky rubber outsole for embedded debris. Clean with a stiff brush and water if necessary to maintain grip.
