FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, they are not fully waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain or puddles.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
There should be enough space for your child to wiggle their toes freely, typically with about 10-15mm of room at the front.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, you should never machine wash leather footwear as it can warp the structure and damage the materials.
What is the purpose of the red and green plugs?
These are the iconic branding marks of Kickers shoes and help distinguish authentic products from imitations.
Do the elasticated laces need to be tied?
The elasticated laces are designed to stretch for a comfortable fit and usually do not require manual tying, provided the zip is closed securely.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks.
Clear any debris or grit from the zip track and gently rub a pencil lead over the teeth to lubricate them.
Leather looks dull or loses its shine.
Clean the surface thoroughly and apply a high-quality leather cream or polish to restore moisture and shine.
Boots feel too tight after a few weeks.
Infant feet grow rapidly; re-measure your child's feet to ensure they haven't outgrown the current size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kickers Playflex Boots, proper maintenance is essential:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after outdoor use to remove dirt and grit. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Drying: Never dry leather boots on a direct heat source, such as a radiator, as this can cause the leather to crack. Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material soft and prevent cracking.
- Compatibility: These boots are designed for infants and toddlers. Always check the UK size guide to ensure adequate 'wiggle room' for toe development; a general rule is to ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space at the front of the boot.
